Patent application number	Description	Published
20080269934	METHOD, APPARATUS, AND PRODUCT FOR OPTIMIZING MANUFACTURING TESTS BY INTEGRATING PART AND TEST OBJECTS IN THE SAME ORDER CONFIGURATION APPLICATION - A method, apparatus, and product are disclosed for optimizing manufacturing testing of a customized configuration of a product. A plurality of part objects are defined within an order configuration application. Each one of the part objects is associated with one of a plurality of parts. A plurality of test objects is defined within the order configuration application. Each one of the test objects is associated with one of a plurality of tests. The order configuration application is used to generate order information using the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product. The order configuration application is also used to generate test cases using the test objects that are associated with the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product.	10-30-2008
20090105863	AUTOMATED INTEGRATION OF FEEDBACK FROM FIELD FAILURE TO ORDER CONFIGURATOR FOR DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF MANUFACTURING TEST PROCESSES - The present invention addresses the deficiencies of the art in respect to the manufacturing test processes and provides a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for dynamic optimization of manufacturing test coverage with automated integration of field failure feedback with the order configurator. In one embodiment of the invention, a manufacturing field failure feedback method can be provided. The method can include retrieving field failure data, analyzing the field failure data, storing failure analysis object information, modifying a manufacturing test case selection within the test case selection and order configurator based on using field failure data analysis, the test case selection including rules for test case selection and test case object information, and configuring a testing order with an optimized test case selection.	04-23-2009
20090138117	TUNING ORDER CONFIGURATOR PERFORMANCE BY DYNAMIC INTEGRATION OF MANUFACTURING AND FIELD FEEDBACK - A novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for tuning order configurator performance by dynamic integration of manufacturing and field feedback information. A method for dynamically tuning order configurator behavior by using product issue data can include collecting product issue data for a manufactured product, the product issue data including performance and attribute information of a part of the manufactured product, analyzing the collected product issue data to identify a problematic part, and, modifying the order configurator using the analyzed product issue data.	05-28-2009
20100057531	Discovering Rarely-Planned Parts using Order Proposal Data - Discovering Rarely-Planned Parts using Order Proposal Data Discovering rarely-planned parts using order proposal data in a manufacturing/assembly environment. Requests for rarely-planned parts are detected by analyzing data from order proposals, providing early warning to the manufacturer prior to receiving an order that uses the parts and allowing the manufacturer to perform advance planning, ordering, and/or scheduling for the parts. The early warnings may also pertain to resources which may be associated with the parts, including testing, documentation, and so forth for supporting use of the parts in products. User-specified rules (or other conditions/constraints) may be used for defining which order proposals to analyze and/or the type of analysis to be performed.	03-04-2010
20110137445	TUNING ORDER CONFIGURATOR PERFORMANCE BY DYNAMIC INTEGRATION OF MANUFACTURING AND FIELD FEEDBACK - A novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for tuning order configurator performance by dynamic integration of manufacturing and field feedback information. A method for dynamically tuning order configurator behavior by using product issue data can include collecting product issue data for a manufactured product, the product issue data including performance and attribute information of a part of the manufactured product, analyzing the collected product issue data to identify a problematic part, and, modifying the order configurator using the analyzed product issue data.	06-09-2011

20120056382	Method and Apparatus for Installing an Engine Seal - A method and an apparatus for installing an engine seal include the steps of removing the existing seal and repositioning a replacement seal therein. A varying-diameter sleeve is compressed, inserted into the replacement seal and released. A telescoping pipe is inserted into the sleeve and extended until the seal is perfectly seated within a designated groove.	03-08-2012

20090039708	Backup For Circuits Having Volatile States - An electrical circuit contains volatile states that are lost without continued application of power to circuit elements to preserve their volatile states. A first power source in the circuit provides power to the volatile state circuit for holding and preserving their volatile states. A power selection circuit is coupled to the circuit elements and has a plurality of selectable modes. A first mode of operation of the power selection circuit is selected when the circuit elements are to be operated at a first power level via the first power source which constitutes a first mode of operation. A second mode of operation is selected when the volatile state circuit elements are to be operated under a condition where the first power source is inactivated, such as, for example, during a circuit backup or standby operation. During the second mode of operation, the circuit elements volatile states are preserved via a power selection circuit that provides power from a second power source at a second power level, different from the first power level, to the volatile state circuit elements in place of the first power source.	02-12-2009
20090040859	Backup for Volatile State Retention in the Absence of Primary Circuit Power - A backup volatile state retention circuit is provided with low leakage current for employment with a volatile memory circuit to store the value of the latter during power down of the volatile circuit or during power-down or inactivation of neighboring or peripheral circuits or due to the loss of power of any of these circuits. An example of such a volatile circuit is a memory circuit having volatile memory cells such as employed in dynamic memory core, in particular, a random access memory (RAM) in CMOS circuitry.	02-12-2009
