Epic Lucy P.H.R, a.k.a. Lucy
http://www.epic.com/software-phr.php
bq. Lucy is a PHR that is not connected to any facility's electronic medical
record system. It stays with patients wherever they receive care and allows
them to organize their medical information in one place that is readily
accessible. Patients can enter health data directly into Lucy, pull in MyChart
data or upload standards-compliant Continuity of Care Documents from other
facilities.
Epic's Lucy is trademarked and was tagged as worthy of further investigation,
above.
Lucy DNA sequence quality and vector trimming tool
http://lucy.sourceforge.net/
bq. Lucy was designed and written at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR,
now the J. Craig Venter Institute), and it has been used here for several years
to clean sequence data from automated DNA sequencers prior to sequence assembly
and other downstream uses. The quality trimming portion of lucy makes use of
phred quality scores, such as those produced by many automated sequencers based
on the Sanger sequencing method.
Lucy2
http://www.complex.iastate.edu/download/Lucy2/index.html
bq. Lucy2 is a raw DNA sequence trimming and visualization tool based on the
command-line tool Lucy1.

AOP. It is not like Spring, but Lucy has almost all features that Spring has as
IoC container.

here. Some analytic formulae necessary for its implementation are also
presented. All facets of LUCY, a FORTRAN implementation of SQ, are described in
detail.
LUCY: A 3-D Pelvic Model for Surgical Simulation
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1074-3804(05)60044-8 (redirects to sciencedirect.com)

only place I have been able to find information about them.

Products formerly named "Lucy"
Zettair Search Engine Library
http://www.seg.rmit.edu.au/zettair/
http://www.seg.rmit.edu.au/lucy/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lucy-search/
bq. As of August 2004, the Lucy search engine has been renamed to the Zettair
search engine.
bq. Zettair is a compact and fast text search engine designed and written by
the Search Engine Group at RMIT University.
This product clearly is "similar" to our Lucy, as both are open source search
engine libraries written in C. Whether a conflict exists would seem to hinge
upon whether the name "Lucy" is still considered to be in use by Zettair.

Ghost trademarks for "Lucy"
Mehl, Griffin & Bartek's abandoned "Lucy" trademark application was marked as
worthy of more investigation above. I cannot find any trace of an actual
product on the 'net.

Products incorporating the name "Lucy"
Lucy Viewer
http://4drepository.inrialpes.fr/lucy_viewer/
bq. Lucy Viewer is an interactive viewing software for 4D models, i.e, dynamic
three-dimensional scenes that evolve over time. Each 4D model is a sequence of
meshes with associated texture information, in terms of images captured from
multiple cameras at each frame. Such data is available from the 4D repository
website hosted by INRIA Grenoble.
Trans Lucy
http://startly.com/products/translucy/2/
bq. What's on the TV? Plug it in to your Mac and find out. Or toss in a DVD or
even play a movie file. Keep right on working though because you have Trans
Lucy 2, the video player that lets you work and watch at the same time.
Lucy Search
http://code.google.com/p/lucysearch/
bq. UI for Apache lucene.
The short lived "Lucy Search", which was started on November 23, 2009 and

----
Conclusion: there are a lot of software products incorporating the name Lucy.
Guidance will have to be sought from legal as to whether conflicts exist.
