| 20120046999 | Managing and Monitoring Continuous Improvement in Information Technology Services - A method for managing performance of an IT service delivery process to ensure the changes meet service performance objectives. Key performance metrics (KPIs) of a service delivery process are collected in a continuous manner at defined time intervals, both before a change to improve performance is applied to the process (baseline measurements) and after a change is applied to the process (post-change measurements). A process behavior graph is generated comprising each baseline and post-change performance measurement at the time interval collected, the time interval at which the change was applied to the process, and the performance objectives for the process. The graph is displayed to a user to enable the user to determine the impact the change has on the service delivery process in view of differences between the baseline and post-change performance measurements, and to determine whether the process meets performance objectives in view of the performance objectives. | 02-23-2012 |

| 20110093940 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING UNIVERSAL STATELESS DIGITAL AND COMPUTING SERVICES - A service provisioning system and method for providing remote access to digital services over a communications network, comprising a plurality of client devices connected to the communications network for requesting digital services from a plurality of service centers and presenting output from the digital services. The network operation center connected to the communications network authenticates client devices and users, manages sessions, and processes requests for digital services. A connector associated with each service center establishes a session with a client device specified by the network operation center and encapsulates the native protocols of the digital services within a remote interactive protocol. The remote interactive protocol includes information for generating a human-perceptible presentation on the client device, to provide a remote access to the digital services without modifying the hardware and software infrastructure of the service centers. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090048779 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GYROCOMPASS ALIGNMENT USING DYNAMICALLY CALIBRATED SENSOR DATA AND AN ITERATED EXTENDED KALMAN FILTER WITHIN A NAVIGATION SYSTEM - A navigation system and method for gyrocompass alignment in a mobile object. The system includes an inertial measurement device configured to provide a first set of sensor data and a positioning unit configured to provide a second set of data. In an example embodiment, the navigation system includes a processing device configured to receive the data sets provided by the inertial measurement device and the positioning device, and the processing device is configured to dynamically calibrate the received first data set the processing device includes a Kalman filter, and the processing device is further configured to generate a gyrocompass alignment using the first dynamically calibrated first data set, the second data set, and the Kalman filter. The method includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors, dynamically calibrating at least a portion of the sensor data, and generating gyrocompass alignment information based on the dynamically calibrated sensor data. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20110164304 | Weather-responsive shade control system - An automatic daylighting method adjusts a window covering to block direct sunlight from entering the room through a window when the exterior sky condition is a sunny sky state and, subject to blocking direct sunlight, provides a desired daylighting interior light illuminance level and, if possible, a desired interior solar heat gain through the window. To prevent window covering oscillation, a delay may be used when the sky condition changes from a sunny to overcast state. The covering control may be based on various factors including interior light illuminance entering the window, a room heating or to cooling mode, whether the room is occupied by people, whether occupants have manually operated an adjustable window covering, and the exterior sky condition. The method may also detect an interior temperature level, e.g., to determine a heating or cooling mode of the room. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20110224017 | Golf Clubs and Golf Club Heads Including Structure to Selectively Control the Sound of the Club Head - The invention relates generally to golf clubs and golf club heads that enable users, club fitters, club manufacturers, and the like to selectively control, change, and customize aspects of the “sound” associated with the golf club and golf club head when it strikes a golf ball. Golf clubs and golf club heads according to this invention may include: a) a club head body; b) a ball striking face engaged with or integrally formed as part of the club head body; c) a hosel member engaged with or integrally formed as at least a portion of the club head; and d) means for changing a sound emanated by the club head when a golf ball contacts the ball striking face. A user may change the vibrational characteristics associated with the club head when a golf ball is struck, thereby changing the sound emanating from the club head when a golf ball is struck. | 09-15-2011 |
