  • Publication number: 20230177425
    Abstract: A system configured to optimize resource allocation efficiency obtains a task. The system identifies a set of task features associated with the task, where the task features include a description, requirements, time criticality level, resource needs with respect to the task. The system identifies one or more entities impacted by the task. The system notifies the one or more entities to update the task features. The system receives the updated task features. The system determines a performance level associated with the task based on the updated task features. The system determines a priority level for performing the task based on the performance level and the updated task features such that a predefined rule is met. The predefined rule is defined to optimize at least one of task completion time, task result quality, and resource allocation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10275777
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for a centralized compliance assessment tool. The present invention is configured to deploy a compliance assessment application to be executed in parallel on one or more applications; initiate one or more retrieval scripts configured to cause the one or more applications to generate one or more digital artifacts to indicate a compliance of the one or more applications to one or more regulatory requirements; determine that the one or more applications are compliant with the one or more regulatory requirements based on at least the one or more digital artifacts generated; and initiate an execution of a regulatory report script based on at least determining that the one or more applications are compliant with the one or more regulatory requirement.

  • Patent number: 3977234
    Abstract: A measuring system provides a signal corresponding to the Saybolt viscosity of a hydrocarbon stream for a desired temperature. The signal is recorded by a recorder. The measuring system includes sensors sensing the temperature, the gravity and the kinematic viscosity of the hydrocarbon stream. A computing circuit provides the signal corresponding to the Saybolt viscosity in accordance with the signals from the sensors.
