20110145653 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TESTING COMPLEX MACHINE CONTROL SOFTWARE - A method and system for testing complex machine control software A method of formally testing a complex machine control software program in order to determine defects within the software program is described. The software program to be tested (SUT) has a defined test boundary, encompassing the complete set of visible behaviour of the SUT, and at least one interface between the SUT and an external component, the at least one interface being defined in a formal, mathematically verified interface specification. The method comprises: obtaining a usage model for specifying the externally visible behaviour of the SUT as a plurality of usage scenarios, on the basis of the verified interface specification; verifying the usage model, using a usage model verifier, to generate a verified usage model of the total set of observable, expected behaviour of a compliant SUT with respect to its interfaces; extracting, using a sequence extractor, a plurality of test sequences from the verified usage model; executing, using a test execution means, a plurality of test cases corresponding to the plurality of test sequences; monitoring the externally visible behaviour of the SUT as the plurality of test sequences are executed; and comparing the monitored externally visible behaviour with an expected behaviour of the SUT. | 06-16-2011 |

20130268428 | Universal economy enhancement system - The ‘Universal Economy Enhancement System’ is a business method or process that can be established and used by a single country or a group of countries to significantly improve the economy of the user country or user countries principally by significantly reducing unemployment and funding worthy projects. This is accomplished by having a new national or international institution or the like collect new business ideas or ideas for new businesses from Inventors. These new business ‘inventions’ may or may not be patentable. The UEES institution is given the right by UEES nations to determine whether the Inventor's invention is ‘new’. If it is the UEES register the new invention and the UEES receives a permanent intellectual property ownership right from UEES using countries. The ‘inventions’ are made available for use in UEES-using countries. The Inventor is compensated by the UEES based on the economic impact of his/her/its invention. | 10-10-2013 |

20080201181 | System and method for determining equivalency factors for use in comparative performance analysis of industrial facilities - The present invention provides a system and method for determining equivalency factors for use in comparative performance analysis of industrial facilities by determining a target variable and a plurality of characteristics of the target variable. Each of the plurality of characterstics is ranked according to value. Based on ranking value, the characteristics are divided into categories. Based on the sorted and ranked characteristics, a data collection classification system is developed. Data is collected according to the data collection classification system. The data is validated, and based on the data, an analysis model is developed. The analysis model then calculates the equivalency factors. | 08-21-2008 |
