20090094154 | Method and system for matching remittances to transactions based on weighted scoring and fuzzy logic - A method for matching remittances to transactions is disclosed. The method for matching remittances to transactions uses a processing paradigm based on weighted scoring and fuzzy logic that is easy to maintain and fosters the use of logic based on the summarization of payments. The system and method also matches remittances to particular transactions with relaxed sensitivity to where identifying markers may be placed on a remittance and is resistant to typographical data entry errors. Further, the system and method is flexible with regards to handling various kinds of information that can result in accurate, precise matching without discarding or overlooking such information. | 04-09-2009 |
20090198709 | APPLICATION TIER DATA DICTIONARY - A method of tracking dependencies in an application file, including analyzing the application file to identify at least one dependency in the application file, extracting information from the application file related to the dependency to allow identification of an entity to which the application file has a dependency from the information, and storing the dependency for the application file in the application tier data dictionary. A system has a memory, at a first tier, to store an application tier data dictionary and at least one application file, and a processor at the first tier to determine dependencies in the application file, store the dependencies in the application tier data dictionary, communicate with a second tier, separate from the first tier, as needed to access information with regard to the dependencies, and store the information in the application tier data dictionary. | 08-06-2009 |
20090222434 | INCLUSION OF METADATA IN INDEXED COMPOSITE DOCUMENT - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for searching business objects. According to one embodiment, a method of searching one or more business objects can comprise receiving a set of search criteria and identifying attributes of the business object that match the search criteria by searching an indexed composite document representing the business object based on the search criteria. The indexed composite document can comprise an indication of a value of one or more attributes of the business object and metadata associated with at least one of the values. Searching the indexed composite document can comprise performing a keyword search on the metadata of the composite document based on the search criteria. An indication of the identified attributes of the business object can be returned ordered by relevance to the search criteria. | 09-03-2009 |
20090265683 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENT MODELS OF ENTERPRISE BUSINESS APPLICATIONS - This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for supporting multiple deployment models for enterprise business applications. In one embodiment, the method may include designating pillars associated with an enterprise business application. Each pillar may include application units which comprise logical groupings for application units used in the enterprise business application. The method may further include determining which of the application units are dependent to more than one of the pillars. Furthermore, based on the determination of the dependent application units, the method may generate deployment code associated with the dependent application units which is configured to be deployment model independent. The method may then receive, at deployment time, a deployment model designation indicating a type of deployment model selected to be used for the enterprise business application. Then, the enterprise business application may be deployed according to the deployment model designation. | 10-22-2009 |

20140175805 | DRIVE ASSEMBLY - A drive assembly for providing a driving force to generate electricity. The assembly includes: a first track declined in a first direction through a first declination; a second track having a first portion which extends in a second direction in a substantially horizontal configuration, and a second portion which is arranged to pivot with respect to the first track between a first position in which the second portion is substantially coincident with the first portion and a second position in which the second portion is declined in the second direction through a second declination; a drive shaft which is coupled to first and second vehicles, the drive shaft being arranged to rotate in dependence of the travel of the first and second vehicles along the respective tracks. The first vehicle is arranged to travel along the first track between a first drive location and a first idle location to drive the shaft in a first direction and to cause the second vehicle to travel along the first portion of the second track between a second idle location and a second drive location; and, the second vehicle is arranged to travel along the second portion from the second drive location to the second idle location to cause the drive shaft to rotate in a second direction and to cause the first vehicle to travel from the first idle location to the first drive location. | 06-26-2014 |

20120177219 | WEARABLE SHOOTER LOCALIZATION SYSTEM - A wearable shooter localization system including a microphone array, processor, and output device for determining information about a gunshot. The microphone array may be worn by on the upper arm of the user. A second array, which may operate cooperatively or independently from the first array, may be worn on the other arm. The microphone array is sensitive to the acoustic effects of gunfire and provides a set of electrical signals to the processing unit, which identifies the origin of the fire. The system may include orientation and/or motion detection sensors, which the processor may use to either initially compute a direction to the origin of a projectile in a frame of reference meaningful to a wearer of the system or to subsequently update that direction as the wearer moves. | 07-12-2012 |

20090084516 | Cast Slip with Preset Carbide Buttons - A slip for support of a downhole tool is cast with inserts positioned in the mold. The inserts can have a unique shape to allow them to be retained in the cast slip while having the proper position relative to each other and proper extension and orientation. A placement tool is envisioned to allow sets of inserts to be initially placed in the mold at one time and released from the tool. | 04-02-2009 |
