  • Patent number: 8081112
    Abstract: A method and apparatus, including software, for the development and operational use of precise utility location and utility asset management information. Field-usable data sets may be produced that meet standards of accuracy and usability that are sufficient for use by field operations personnel participating in damage prevention activities associated with ground penetrating projects (e.g., excavating, trenching, boring, driving, and tunneling) or other asset applications. Some embodiments relate to integrating utility asset data including coordinate location, and geographical information data using a consistently available and accurate coordinates reference for collecting the data and for aligning the geographical information data. Some embodiments relate to managing projects with equipment that provides real time images and the updating of the data as required with this desired accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20070112456
    Abstract: These and other objectives are attained with a method and system for recording data monitored during the manufacture of molded ophthalmic lenses. This method comprises the steps of identifying a set of process parameters used in said manufacture, identifying an associated value range for each of the process parameters, and monitoring each of the process parameters during the manufacture of the lenses. If, during the manufacture of one of the ophthalmic lenses, one of the process parameters moves outside the associated value range, then that lens is rejected. However, if, during the manufacture of one of the ophthalmic lenses, all of the process parameters stay within their associated ranges, then that lens is identified as acceptable, and a device history record is made for that lens. This device history record includes a reference code for identifying the set of process parameters.
