The assessment includes use of a computer implemented tool for performing business component modeling techniques for creating a heat map. The heat map is used with the tool to form a domain decomposition, form a goal-service modeling structure, and perform an existing asset analysis based to linkages to the heat map. The assessment is delivered to the client company. A service oriented architecture, SOA, solution plan based on the assessment may also be delivered. The consulting company may implement the SOA plan for the client. | 09-30-2010 |
20100250328 | BUSINESS ASSESSMENT METHOD - An assessment of a business is performed using a computer implemented tool to provide a strategy model, an operating model, and an IT model. The assessment is performed by a services providing company for a client company. The assessment is used to create a SOA solution for the business. The services providing company may also implement the SOA solution for the business. | 09-30-2010 |
20100251205 | SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION IN AN ENTERPRISE - A business enterprise is assessed by a consultant using a computer implemented tool for practicing component business modeling techniques. The tool builds a map of components, filters the map to form a heat map and identifies collaborations. Key performance indicators are evaluated. | 09-30-2010 |
20110137714 | SYSTEM FOR MANAGING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE USING INDUSTRY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE MODELS - A system and dashboard are provided for managing business performance. Key performance indicators developed for a component business model map are computed and displayed along with the map in real time. A user may select a corresponding key performance indicator to display a heat map of components on the dashboard. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137819 | TOOL FOR CREATING AN INDUSTRY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE MODEL - A system creates and maintains an industry business architecture model (IBAM) over a network. The IBAM has a component business model, process model, service model, and information model. It also may include a reference architecture, demos and other knowledge assets, and collateral. | 06-09-2011 |
20110196719 | SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE - A system gathers real-time data about an enterprise over a network. A user device displays a dashboard showing a component business model map, a heat map, key performance indicators for components, key performance indicators for the enterprise, and gradients. The business is enhanced by making investments and changes to those operations having large gradients. | 08-11-2011 |

20100105091 | Method for Measuring the Concentration of Transient Proteolytic Activity in Composite Biological Media Containing Cells - A method is provided for determining in real time the course of thrombin activity in a sample of clotting blood or plasma as it appears in and disappears from the sample which comprises adding a signal substrate to said sample, said signal substrate causing a detectable signal related to the amount of conversion product formed upon reaction by the generated proteolytic activity, monitoring the signal development in time in said sample to provide a curve, and mixing said sample frequently so that clot formation occurs in a dense manner such that the majority of the sample remains fluid and that cell precipitation is inhibited, wherein said monitoring and mixing steps are repeated and performed in an alternate way. | 04-29-2010 |
20110020850 | METHOD OF DETERMINING ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY IN BIOLOGICAL MEDIA - A reliable, fast and convenient method is provided to determine the change in concentration of enzyme in time in a biological medium in the presence of a signal substrate that corrects for substrate consumption, color-dependency of the signal and non-linearity between the concentration of the leaving group of the signal substrate and the amount of signal. The method comprises the measurement of a calibrator curve in a suitable medium, such as a buffer, to determine the characteristics of the measured curve. These characteristics will then allow to obtain this whole curve or a sufficient part thereof again through a mathematical procedure based on a single-point measurement in a sample of a medium in which the enzyme generation takes place. This has the great advantage that there is no need to measure the whole calibrator curve in each individual medium, since a single-point measurement is adequate. | 01-27-2011 |

20090170025 | LITHOGRAPHIC METHOD AND CARRIER SUBSTRATE - A carrier substrate is provided with a layer of PDMS and curing agent on one side of the carrier substrate. The PDMS and curing agent can be arranged to receive and adhere to a lithographic substrate. The carrier substrate can be dimensioned such that the combined carrier substrate and lithographic substrate may be handled by a conventional lithographic apparatus. | 07-02-2009 |
20100195073 | SCANNED WRITING OF AN EXPOSURE PATTERN ON A SUBSTRATE - An exposure pattern is written on a substrate, by scanning a light spot along a trajectory over the substrate and switching it on and off according to a desired pattern. Respective spot sizes of the light for illuminating the substrate in respective parts of the trajectory according to a geometry of the pattern. Respective pitch values between successive ones of the parts of the trajectory are selected, in relation to the spot size selected for the respective parts. The light spot is scanned over the substrate along the trajectory, with the selected pitch values between the trajectory parts and a position dependent spot size along the trajectory. In an embodiment a helical trajectory is used. | 08-05-2010 |
