  • Patent number: 7926029
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a software development infrastructure and/or methodology in, for example, multi-platform computing environments. More specifically, this invention relates to a software development system and an approach for providing, for example in at least one embodiment, a lattice-based organization of interdependent software products for multi-dimensional progressive application specialization. The inventive system and method optionally starts with a generic root product node and incorporates more domain specific extensions in multiple tiers of constructs, facilities, and complexities, to create specialized applications.

  • Publication number: 20110054776
    Abstract: A weather update system, method, and device for providing and receiving weather data. The mobile computing device includes a processor and a location data receiver capable of establishing a geospatial location of the mobile computing device based on received data signals. The mobile computing device is configured to receive updated weather data in response to a threshold condition having been, met, such as a threshold distance having been traveled by the mobile computing device or a threshold time having elapsed. The mobile computing device is also configured to receive weather alerts. The system includes a weather data server network configured to receive current and forecasted weather data for a plurality of locations and times, stored in a high-resolution grid structure and including current locations of a user devices or favorite locations for users.

  • Patent number: 7330844
    Abstract: In an intelligent object oriented agent system, a computer implemented or user assisted method of decision making in at least one situation. The method includes the step of configuring at least one tactical agent implemented by at least one tactical agent object that includes a plurality of resources corresponding to immediate certainties, near certainties, and longer-term possibilities characterizing the at least one situation. The method also includes the steps of processing the at least one situation using the at least one tactical agent, and implementing the decision making, by at least one user or independently by at least one intelligent agent. responsive to the processing step. A computer readable tangible medium stores instructions for implementing the user assisted or computer implemented method of decision making, which instructions are executable by a computer. In a preferred embodiment, the situation comprises an aerial combat situation. or other situation with moving resources.
