US Patent:

20060238384, Oct 26, 2006

Filed:

Dec 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/321572

Inventors:

Richard Hess - Bellevue WA, US
Paul DeHerrera - Tucson AZ, US
Brian Eckmann - Seattle WA, US
Richard Gleason - Lacey WA, US

International Classification:

G08G 1/123
G08B 21/00
H04H 1/00

US Classification:

340995140, 340995260, 455003010, 340945000

Abstract:

A system and method directed to providing a communication system for receiving data from sources outside the aircraft, storing the received information and then presenting the received information on a portable display device having a screen that may be read with the necessary information. The portable display device may interface with a docking station for receiving the data from a communication management unit and then removed and passed freely among flight attendants or other personnel on the aircraft. Further, the portable display device may be interfaced with other docking stations in other parts of the aircraft to communicate with the communication management unit.

Appl. No.:

6/057726

Inventors:

Richard H. Hess - South San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G04B 126
G04B 1900

US Classification:

368 65

Abstract:

This liquid clock has a lower liquid reservoir and an upper-liquid reservoir connected by an overflow to the lower reservoir. A plurality of timekeeping reservoirs are positioned to allow liquid in them to stand at the same level as in the upper reservoir. Each of the timekeeping reservoirs has a liquid exit orifice which connects to one of a plurality of timekeeping tubes, each having timekeeping related indicia on it. A means is provided for dropping a liquid displacement member in each of the timekeeping reservoirs at predetermined time intervals, thus displacing liquid into the timekeeping tubes. A means for withdrawing the liquid displacement members from the timekeeping reservoirs does so between the predetermined time intervals. A pump supplies liquid to the upper reservoir from the lower liquid reservoir to maintain the level of liquid in the upper reservoir at the level of the overflow. Means is further provided for periodically emptying the timekeeping tubes at time related intervals.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

395600

Abstract:

An object-oriented architecture for a factory floor management software system is described in which factory floor entities are modelled as factory objects within a relational database. The architecture includes X-terminal or bar code devices for facilitating user interaction with the system via one or more of the factory floor entities; Application Engines for processing user interaction of events and generating application service requests; and Application servers for processing the application service requests and generating database service requests in response. These database service requests are utilized to retrieve, manipulate and update data stored within the relational database. Communication Managers are employed for coordinating interprocess communication between the Application Engines, the Application Servers, and the Database Servers. Each of these major components are distributed among computer resources that are networked across the factory floor.

William L. Verplank - Menlo Park CA

Assignee:

Consilium, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 1562

US Classification:

395159

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for displaying the relationship of objects in a factory on a computer system display. A first icon is displayed, the first icon representing a first class of factory objects. A second icon is displayed, the second icon representing a second class of factory objects. A first connector connecting the first icons and second icons is displayed representing the relationship between the first and the second class of factory objects. The first icon is selected, thus displaying a first list of names of all objects comprising the first class of factory objects. Then, a first name from the first list of names is selected, and a second list of names is displayed. The second list of names comprises the names of all objects in the second class of factory objects associated with the object from the first class having the first name.

International Classification:

G05B 903

US Classification:

36442401

Abstract:

A signal selection and fault detection system that provides triple functional redundancy using the outputs (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B) of two unmonitored primary channels and the output of one or the other of two complementary filters (22, 34) that each receive and process a signal (Y dot IRU) that is derived from a third, independent primary signal source (18) and that is representative of the rate or first derivative of the primary signals (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B). During non-failure conditions, the system output (Y. sub. CF1) is generated by a normal mode complementary filter 22 from the synthesized rate signal (Y dot IRU) and the selected (10) midvalue one of this output signal (Y. sub. CF1) and the primary signals (Y. sub. A, Y. sub. B). In the event of a suspected failure in one of the primary signals, the output (Y. sub.
