20140095249 | SUPPLY CHAIN ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM WITH ORCHESTRATION, CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL MATERIAL TRANSFER FLOW - A system is provided that orchestrate a supply chain orchestration process. The system receives a supply request and creates a supply order. The system further selects a supply chain orchestration process for the supply order, where the supply chain orchestration process includes one or more steps. The system further generates an executable supply chain orchestration process. The system further executes the executable supply chain orchestration process to generate one or more supply tasks that are defined by the one or more steps of the supply chain orchestration process. The system further sends the one or more supply tasks to one or more external supply execution systems. The system further receives one or more status values from the one or more external supply execution systems. The system further generates an overall status value for the supply chain orchestration process based on the one or more status values. | 04-03-2014 |
20140095343 | SUPPLY CHAIN ORCHESTRATION SYSTEM WITH CONFIGURE-TO-ORDER ITEM MATCHING - A system is provided that searches and matches data. The system receives a payload including one or more data values, where the one or more data values represent an item configuration. The system further generates a match key for the payload that includes at least one data value of the one or more data values. The system further compares the match key with one or more match keys stored in a match repository. The system further retrieves a configuration item identity from the match repository when the match key matches a match key stored in the match repository, where the configuration item identity represents a previously ordered item configuration. The system further generates a new configuration item identity when the match key does not match a match key stored in the match repository, where the new configuration item identity represents the item configuration. | 04-03-2014 |

20110013423 | LIGHT INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIFORM LUMINOSITY OF WAVEGUIDE-BASED DISPLAYS - The attenuation of light per unit length in a waveguide as a result of active pixels (i.e., open pixels) may be corrected or mitigated by injecting apodized light into the waveguide. A light injection system and method is provided to enhance the luminous uniformity of the active pixels in a waveguide-based display. Embodiments of the present invention include a slab waveguide having a first edge and a second edge that intersect at a vertex, a first light source disposed along the first edge, and a second light source disposed along the second edge. The first light source, or the second light source, or both, comprises an apodized light source. | 01-20-2011 |
