Burke, Jr.

Edmund Charles Burke, Jr., Diamond, OH US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090152059Rotational Resistance Apparatus - A rotational resistance apparatus and method of use is disclosed to control movement of a carriage across a surface. The apparatus includes a disc having an axial rotational axis, an axial first end portion, and second end face portion that is substantially perpendicular to the axial rotational axis. The first end portion rotationally engages a rotating element of the carriage. Also included, is a cover having an axial longitudinal axis, an axial outer end portion that removably engages a frame of the carriage, and an axial inner face portion positioned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The longitudinal and axial rotational axes are approximately co-axial and the inner face portion and the second end face portion are in a selected rotational frictional contact. Further included, is a first structure for selectable axial urging of the cover toward the disc, being operational to further selectably alter the selected rotational frictional contact.06-18-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080319805METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING OPEN BASIS RESERVATION AT LODGING - A method of doing business, and related system, for a pre-reservation on an open basis, namely for a guaranteed room on a future unspecified date or future unspecified dates at lodging, which belongs to a group of pre-selected lodgings in a designated geographic area, where the open basis reservation can be converted to a guaranteed room on a specified date or dates. The method and system are useful in one or both of a disaster/emergency or absence of a disaster/emergency.12-25-2008
20100174568METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING OPEN BASIS RESRVATION AT LODGING - A method of doing business, and related system, for a pre-reservation on an open basis, namely for a guaranteed room on a future unspecified date or future unspecified dates at lodging, which belongs to a group of pre-selected lodgings in a designated geographic area, where the open basis reservation can be converted to a guaranteed room on a specified date or dates. The method and system are useful in one or both of a disaster/emergency or absence of a disaster/emergency.07-08-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100153300DERIVATIVE TRADING STRATEGY BACKTESTING MACHINE - An automated information search, retrieval and reporting system, and more particularly, a system designed for the historical backtesting of financial market positions, for example, the simulation of the execution of derivative trading strategies. A user accesses data in a market information database via user interface by submitting queries in a near natural language format that define a desired derivative trading strategy with respect to one or more tradable securities. Historical daily price information about securities and derivatives are gathered and combined in a single location. Derivative relative data is created from the historical information and stored as a continuous historical series, wherein the derivative relative data is derived from each derivative's relative position to the underlying instrument with respect to price and date information. Reports express the results of the simulated execution of the derivative trading strategy that would have resulted from actual execution of the derivative trading strategy in the historical timeframe, including the daily profits and losses.06-17-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100149981Determining Normal Call Blocking Volume From Call Blast Affecting Trunk Groups - A method is provided for utilizing a call block analysis tool of a computer system to determine the number of normal calls blocked on a telecommunication trunk group during a call blast event. After a call blast event has been determined to have occurred during a trunk group's calling hour, the method uses current and history trunk group traffic statistics to determine the number of “normal” calls that were blocked during a calling hour. This method uses historical average holding time, current offered load, current blocking proportions as well as current and historical peakedness to numerically solute for the number of “normal” calls blocked.06-17-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110239039Cloud computing enabled robust initialization and recovery of it services - A system and a method for provisioning of Information Technology (IT) services to a plurality of computers is provided. The system includes a network and transport device and local IT resources. The network and transport device has internet connectivity via a controlled switching interface. One or more of the computers are coupled to the network and transport device via the controlled switching interface. The local IT resources are also coupled to the one or more computers and include data storage and processing capability for providing IT services to the computers including server-based applications for utilization and operation by the computers. In addition, the local IT resources include a network and transport virtual machine generated as a virtual machine equivalent of the network and transport device and coupled to the controlled switching interface of the network and transport device for communication with the network and transport device.09-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120078497METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY TRACKING VEHICLE-CENTRIC DATA AND USER-CENTRIC DATA - A system and method for tracking a vehicle-centric data and a user-centric data with respect to a vehicle. A vehicle-based device can be configured with a vehicle-based application in order to collect and cache the vehicle-centric data. Additionally, an existing vehicle data interface can provide such vehicle-centric data and other data. A GPS-enabled wireless communications device configured with a vehicle and user data tracking module can be interfaced with the vehicle-based device via a wireless technology in order to retrieve the vehicle-centric data with respect to the vehicle. The user-centric data can also be collected from the wireless communications device via a wireless application when the user is external to the vehicle. The vehicle-centric data and the user-centric-data can be then transmitted to a centralized server in order to track a historical and real time GPS location and navigation data.03-29-2012
