Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100293018Test Model Abstraction For Testability in Product Line Engineering - Product line engineering testing is provided by segmenting a workflow into variable and common activity areas. A workflow decision node can be generated to isolate the segmented variable area, and a stub activity is generated and substituted into the workflow in place of the segmented variable activities. The stub activity can be configured to generate valid output for the substituted variable activities, and can be configured for black-box, gray-box, and white-box behavior.11-18-2010

20080313058Process And System For Identifying Demand For Inventory - A computer-implemented process for identifying demand for excess inventory includes the steps of determining an inventory level and a forecasted demand of at least one part at least one facility; determining a part interchangeability of a first part with a second part of the at least one part; inputting an inventory level reflecting the part interchangeability and a forecasted demand reflecting the part interchangeability of the at least one part into an inventory module embodied in a server in communication with the at least one facility; accumulating the inventory level reflecting the part interchangeability and the forecasted demand reflecting the part interchangeability in the inventory module embodied in the server; determining an inventory position reflecting the part interchangeability for the at least one part for all of the at least one facility; determining a real-time demand reflecting the part interchangeability for the at least one part for all of the at least one facility; and conveying the real-time demand reflecting the part interchangeability for the at least one part to all of the at least one facility.12-18-2008
20100023366Process and apparatus for comprehensive configuration valid bill of material planning and auditing - A computer-implemented process for planning a configuration valid bill of materials for a product includes the steps of inputting at least one MOD from a MOD list into a planning module to generate a part genealogy of a product; identifying a senior MOD of the MOD list based upon a progression level value and a ranking value for at least one location identifier; determining a shortest path in the part genealogy from at least one base part of the product to the senior MOD for the at least one location identifier; identifying a complete progression from each of the at least one base parts to each corresponding at least one senior MODs for each of the at least one location identifiers; generating a configuration valid bill of materials for the product; and conveying the configuration valid bill of materials.01-28-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100174217POINT VIBRATION THERAPY DEVICE - A point vibration therapy device (“PVTD”) is designed to provide vibration therapy or stimulation to a user to alleviate stimming behavior caused by a sensory dysfunction. The PVTD includes a control system, a power system, and a vibration source system. The control system includes a control circuit, a housing, an I/O interface and inputs for a user to interact with the device, e.g., adjusting the frequency and duration of vibrations for optimal effect on the user. The power system includes a power source and charge management controller. The vibration source system includes a vibration source, a housing, power control connections, and an attachment device to attach to a user's body. The control system, power system, and vibration source system are all interconnected and may be contained in a singular or multiple housings.07-08-2010

20100198662WEB SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OUTCOME BASED ASSESSMENTS - A system and method provides outcome based assessments utilizing a web server system and database. The system collects evidence forming the basis of an assessment, ties a graded assessment to the underlying evidence and correlates the assessment with profile information of an institution, one or more groups within the institution, the assessor and the assessee and to a set of outcomes to generate aggregate and disaggregate reports so that performance at various levels within an institution relative to a set of outcomes can be determined.08-05-2010

20090024830Executing Multiple Instructions Multiple Data ('MIMD') Programs on a Single Instruction Multiple Data ('SIMD') Machine - Executing Multiple Instructions Multiple Data (‘MIMD’) programs on a Single Instruction Multiple Data (‘SIMD’) machine, the SIMD machine including a plurality of compute nodes, each compute node capable of executing only a single thread of execution, the compute nodes initially configured exclusively for SIMD operations, the SIMD machine further comprising a data communications network, the network comprising synchronous data communications links among the compute nodes, including establishing a SIMD partition comprising a plurality of the compute nodes; booting the SIMD partition in MIMD mode; executing by launcher programs a plurality of MIMD programs on compute nodes in the SIMD partition; and re-executing a launcher program by an operating system on a compute node in the SIMD partition upon termination of the MIMD program executed by the launcher program.01-22-2009
20090288085Scaling and Managing Work Requests on a Massively Parallel Machine - A method, computer program product and computer system for scaling and managing requests on a massively parallel machine, such as one running in MIMD mode on a SIMD machine. A submit mux (multiplexer) is used to federate work requests and to forward the requests to the management node. A resource arbiter receives and manges these work requests. A MIMD job controller works with the resource arbiter to manage the work requests on the SIMD partition. The SIMD partition may utilize a mux of its own to federate the work requests and the computer nodes. Instructions are also provided to control and monitor the work requests.11-19-2009
20090288094Resource Management on a Computer System Utilizing Hardware and Environmental Factors - A method for resource management on a computer system utilizing hardware and environmental information. A caller interacts with an application program interface to handle information requests with a persistent data storage device to combine information involving hardware resource information, environmental data and other system information, all both historical, present and predicted values. Application execution decisions may then made regarding hardware for the calling entity. The method may be implemented as a computer process.11-19-2009
