| 20120221889 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DUPLEXED REPLICATED COMPUTING - Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a replicated duplex computer system. The system includes a triplet of network elements, which each maintain a clock signal, and a monitor at each network element for monitoring incoming clock signals. Each network element interfaces with a fault containment region (FCR). The system provides the ability to transition to a duplex system if one of the fault containment regions fails. The three network elements are able to send their clock signals to the other network elements and receive their own clock signal and clock signals from the other elements. The monitors are configured to detect discrepancies in the clock signals of the network elements. If a monitor determines that an FCR has failed, each network element is reconfigured so that the FTPP system operates in a duplex mode without the faulty FCR by replacing the clock signal from the faulty element with its own clock signal. | 08-30-2012 |

| 20110055770 | USER INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A RESERVATION DEPARTURE AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A user interface that may be adapted for use with a Reservation and Departure Control System (RDCS) for a transportation industry is disclosed. The RDCS manages the booking and re-booking of passengers on a transportation carrier. In one embodiment, the system supports a re-booking process wherein passengers whose travel accommodations (e.g., one or more airline flights) have been cancelled or modified are re-booked on different accommodations. The user interface is designed to graphically convey the flow, as well as the hierarchy, of the re-booking process to a user. This interface further includes links that naturally navigate a user from one process step to the next so that an in-depth knowledge of process flow is not required for successful use of the system. | 03-03-2011 |
