Filed:

Jan 12, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/349358

Inventors:

David Hilton - North Salt Lake UT, US
Valerie Leach - Salt Lake City UT, US
Cathie Lewis - Taylorsville UT, US
Lori Janes-Young - South Jordan UT, US

International Classification:

G09B 19/00

US Classification:

434238

Abstract:

Servers are presented for facilitating performance recognition among a plurality of users. A server may store in a storage medium data associated with a plurality of user recognition spaces. Each user recognition space can be associated with a respective user and can be adapted to enable the respective user to send and receive recognition tokens and/or nominations for recognition. The server may receive a request from a user data processing system for the stored data associated with a particular user recognition space. In response, the server may convey at least some of the stored data associated with the particular user recognition space to the user data processing system.

US Classification:

434238

Abstract:

Data processing systems are presented for facilitating performance recognition among a plurality of users. A user data processing system may obtain data associated with a particular user recognition space, and may display graphical information related to the data associated with the user recognition space. The user data processing system may further display one or more recognition indicators. A recognition indicator may be adapted to indicate receipt of a recognition token, that a recognition token has been sent to another user, and/or that a nomination has been submitted for recognition of another user.

Abstract:

A force sensing element is used in a pressure transducer. The force sensing element includes a flat, disc-type spring having a unitary body that circumscribes a central axis, and a plurality of spirals that are continuous with each other and extend radially outwardly from the central axis. The plurality of spirals includes nested symmetrical flights having walls with a non-uniform thickness, and the disc spring is uniformly deflectable along the central axis in response to force acting on the disc-type spring. The spring is configured to have a high accuracy and a high fatigue life such that the spring is suitable for use in high-pressure applications that may require repeatability while operating with over 10 million cycles of unidirectional or bi-directional axial loading.
