Patent number: 8788632Abstract: A method manages configurations of devices in a system that communicates information between a device and an enterprise. The method includes building a defined configuration for a device type. The defined configuration includes a set of value requirements. An actual configuration having values associated with the device is compared to the defined configurations. The actual configuration and defined configuration are stored in a database of the enterprise. The method also includes determining, in the enterprise, if the values of actual configuration match the corresponding value requirements of the defined configurations. The method runs business logic associated with the device based on a result from the step of determining if the values of the actual configuration match the corresponding values of the defined configurations. The matched configurations are stored for subsequent use.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Axeda Acquisition Corp.Inventors: John L. Taylor, Timothy A Rochte, Kiran Bhageshpur, David Patrick Hart

Patent number: 8226212Abstract: A fluid-jet precision-dispensing device cartridge assembly includes a housing, a fluid-jet precision-dispensing device die, and a flexible circuit. The housing has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is non-parallel to the first surface. The housing is insertable in a fluid-jet precision-dispensing device. The die is disposed at the first surface of the housing. The circuit is attached to the housing and wraps around the housing from the first surface to the second surface. The circuit includes electrically conductive traces and contacts that are electrically coupled to the die to transmit power and communicate signals between the device and the die. The circuit includes one or more regions having no functionality in usage of the assembly to precisely dispense fluid. The regions are rigid and/or thermally conductive to improve attachment of the circuit to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Wayne K.

Publication number: 20080082657Abstract: A method to dynamically group devices based on device information, which is associated with a system for monitoring the device information that communicates information between a device and an enterprise. Information is collected from a device information source to obtain an actual status of a device. The actual status of the device is compared to a stored status of the device. The stored status is stored on a server of the enterprise. The enterprise determines if the actual status has been changed from the stored status. When a change is detected, the method performs at least one of the acts of automatically disassociating the device from a group that reflects the stored status and automatically associating the device with a new group to reflect the actual status.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2006Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: QUESTRA CORPORATIONInventors: David P.
