I don't really have any information you won't readily find on Wikipedia, except my recollection of this topic from equally long ago is that there is Mealy, Moore and Mixed.  I don't recall anything else.  Perhaps someone decided to name the Mixed model after himself but it didn't stick?

For those not interested enough to look this stuff up, I should point out that these are not topics in combinational logic (that's Quine–McCluskey, Karnaugh maps, etc.) but topics in sequential logic design.
