20140136961 | Methods, Systems and Apparatuses for Scalable Electronic Data Interchange Communications - Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for a computer-implemented method for facilitating electronic data interchange (“EDI”) communication. An EDI document from a first trading partner is in a first format, with data in a plurality of fields. The fields are mapped to fields of an EDI standard. The data in the mapped fields are translated to an intermediate format to create an intermediate format file. Rules, which may be customized, may be applied to the intermediate format file. The rules may include business rules customized for the first trading partner, math rules and/or logic rules. The intermediate format file may be verified to determine whether it complies with the EDI standard and/or the business rules of the first trading partner. The data from the intermediate format to a second format compatible with a computer system of a second trading partner, to create a second format file. | 05-15-2014 |

20100020097 | System and method for mosaicing digital ortho-images - The present invention provides a system and method for mosaicing multiple input images, captured by one or more remote sensors, into a seamless mosaic of an area of interest. Each set of input images captured by the remote sensors within a capture interval are ortho-rectified and mosaiced together into a composite image. Successive composite images, along a given flight path, are then mosaiced together to form a strip. Adjacent strips are then mosaiced together to form a final image of the area of interest. | 01-28-2010 |

20130013474 | System and method for modifying an index-based hierarchal cost model of a complex system - A method is provided of modifying a hierarchal cost model of a multi-component system over a time period of the model extending from a historical time to a future time, wherein the model is built from item cost indices, each of which is built from one or more commodity price indices created from market data. The model is stored in memory of a computer system that includes a processor, a user input device and a display. The method includes the steps of selecting an item from the model, selecting a time from the model time period (the selected item time), and inputting a user selected cost of the item for the selected time. The processor modifies the item price index to create a custom item price index based on the input item price, the selected item date, and the item's constituent cost indices, and stores the custom price index in the memory. The method may further include modifying the cost model to create a custom cost model based on the custom item price index, and storing the custom cost model in memory. The custom item price index and all aspects of the custom model can then be used and displayed as before. | 01-10-2013 |

20090319887 | FIT AND FILL TECHNIQUES FOR PICTURES - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for fitting and filling pictures in documents. A selection is received from a user to perform a fill or fit to placeholder operation to insert a picture into a placeholder. A visible image area is calculated which determines what portion of the picture will appear in the placeholder. The user is able to slide the picture back and forth within the placeholder until a desired crop is achieved. The picture is cropped so that the placeholder is kept intact and original aspect ratios of the placeholder and picture are both preserved. When a rotation of the placeholder is different than a rotation of the picture being inserted, then an axis-aligned bounding box is calculated for the picture or the placeholder to complete the fit or fill operation. | 12-24-2009 |

20100073692 | PRINT PREVIEW WITH PAGE NUMBERING FOR MULTIPLE PAGES PER SHEET - A sheet preview system generates a print preview of a sheet that has a layout specifying a position and orientation for each page. To generate the print preview of the sheet, the sheet preview system displays a representation of the sheet that includes an image of each page of the sheet. The sheet preview system positions and orients the images in accordance with the layout of the sheet. The sheet preview system then displays in association with each displayed image of a page the page number of that page. The sheet preview system may orient the page number of the page in accordance with the orientation of the page. | 03-25-2010 |
