US Classification:

364737

Abstract:

What is disclosed is apparatus making up an arithmetic logic unit and utilizing a programmable read-only memory (PROM) to perform arithmetic functions for an associated processor. The PROM is used as a look-up table for computation results. Operands used to perform a mathematical computation make up an address to the PROM which is used to read out the computation result stored therein. Also stored in the PROM as part of each computation result are information bits indicating if the computation result is a valid answer. These bits are also read out and stored in flip-flops to indicate to the processor if the computation result is valid or invalid.

Abstract:

A merchandising initiative management system includes a management controller. The management controller is configured to electronically interface with at least one workforce management platform, at least one merchandising requestor management platform, and at least one associate platform. The management controller is configured to receive a service request to initiate a merchandising project. The service request includes at least one location and a performance time range. Furthermore, the management controller is configured to receive associate data from the workforce management platform of at least one selected location. The associate data relates to a work schedule of at least one associate that works at the selected location. The associate data includes the times and the dates the at least one associate is scheduled to work at the selected location. The management controller is configured to selectively enable use of an associate platform as a function of the work schedule of the associate.
