Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:

G06F 314
US Classification:

345771, 345773, 345835, 345839, 345769, 702 57, 702 66, 702 67, 702 68, 702117
Abstract:

An integrated trigger function display system and methodology for trigger definition development in a signal measurement system having a graphical user interface. The system contemporaneously displays one or more trigger function names and an associated trigger function descriptor describing a trigger function identified by the associated trigger function name. The trigger name is displayed in a trigger name display region of a display window that concurrently displays a plurality of trigger function names. The descriptor is displayed in a trigger descriptor region of the display window so as to be visually-associated by the operator. A trigger definition is comprised of one or more trigger functions. Each trigger function is a graphical representation of an one or more underlying trigger primitives. A trigger primitive is a computer program statement that is translated into a form suitable for controlling the signal measurement system.

US Patent:

6714883, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:

Aug 21, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/643137
Inventors:

Mason Bradfield Samuels - Colorado Springs CO
Assignee:

Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:

G06F 1900
US Classification:

702 68, 345780
Abstract:

A system and method for use in signal measurement systems that acquire and store signal data in accordance with a trigger specification. The present invention stores and displays operator-generated annotations with each trigger branch of a trigger specification. The annotations, referred to herein as trigger branch comments, can provide meaningful information about, for example, the trigger branch condition, occurrence specification or resulting action, as well as any other aspect of the trigger specification. The branch comments are stored with the associated trigger branch as part of the instrument configuration, and are automatically restored when the configuration data is loaded into the instrument, and printed with the associated trigger branch. The display of the trigger branch comments for each trigger branch may be controlled individually or collectively to enable the operator to configure the display of the trigger specification as needed. The trigger branch comments may be provided through the use of a text editor, programmatically or through a file or data transfer.

US Patent:

8626366, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:

Mar 12, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/417801
Inventors:

Joseph Forrest Noffsinger - Grain Valley MO, US
Paul Kenneth Houpt - Niskayuna NY, US
Jared Cooper - Melbourne FL, US
Mason Samuels - Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

B60L 3/00
B60L 15/00
G05D 1/00
US Classification:

701 21, 701123
Abstract:

A system for controlling a marine vessel includes a processor, a propulsion system, and a directional system. The processor is disposed onboard the marine vessel and obtains a trip plan that includes designated operational settings of the marine vessel for a trip along a waterway. The propulsion system is communicatively coupled with the processor and generates propulsion to move the marine vessel according to the designated operational settings of the trip plan. The directional system is communicatively coupled with the processor and steers the marine vessel according to the designated operational settings of the trip plan. Operating the propulsion system and the directional system according to the designated operational settings of the trip plan reduces at least one of fuel consumed or emissions generated by the marine vessel relative to the marine vessel being propelled or steered according to one or more plans other than the trip plan.

Appl. No.:

10/904137
Inventors:

Joel Woodward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Adrian Hernandez - Colorado Springs CO, US
Mason Samuels - Colorado Springs CO, US
James Stewart - Colorado Springs CO, US
Assignee:

AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC - Loveland CO
International Classification:

G06F011/00
US Classification:

714030000
Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for setting up a test instrument to perform measurements on a circuit having a plurality of signal applied to a plurality of output pins. Configuration parameters including an identification of the output pins are retrieved and the test instrument is configured to interface with the output pins based on the configuration parameters. A list of output pins and a list of input lines associated with the test instrument are graphically displaying on a screen associated with the test instrument. Interacting with the graphical display, the user then associates each output pin with an input line to which each output pin is connected.

International Classification:

G08G 9/00
G06F 7/00
US Classification:

701 70, 701118
Abstract:

A system includes a monitoring module, a congestion module, a modification module, and a communication module. The monitoring module monitors vehicles in a transportation network. The congestion module calculates a throughput parameter that is representative of a statistical measure of adherence to a movement plan by the vehicles. The modification module determines a confidence parameter representative of a probability that changing the original meet event does not reduce the throughput parameter. The modification module modifies the original meet event to an updated meet event when the confidence parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold. The communication module transmits the updated meet event to the yielding vehicle and/or the passing vehicle, for the yielding vehicle and/or the passing vehicle to receive the updated meet event from the communication module and change a speed of the yielding vehicle or the passing rail vehicle to arrive at the updated meet event.

Mason Samuels - Melbourne FL, US
Paul Houpt - Niskayuna NY, US
International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
US Classification:

705 712
Abstract:

A system includes a scheduling module and a monitoring module. The scheduling module is configured to generate schedules for vehicles to concurrently travel in a transportation network formed of interconnected routes over which the vehicles travel. The monitoring module is configured to determine financial costs of fuel at refueling locations within the transportation network that are used by one or more of the vehicles to acquire additional fuel. The scheduling module is configured to coordinate the schedules of the vehicles based on the financial costs of the fuel while maintaining a throughput parameter of the transportation network above a designated threshold. The throughput parameter represents adherence by the vehicles to the schedules as the vehicles travel through the transportation network.
