Publication number: 20240143492Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Daniel Joseph Sanders, Wesley Mao, Stephen Richard Jones

Publication number: 20230021530Abstract: A timeline generation and solving tool is provided to parameterize a project at an application lifecycle management (“ALM”) tool, and generate and solve a timeline of features according to the parameterized project. The Scrum master may re-parameterize the project, causing a new timeline to be generated, solved, and visualized. In this fashion, the Scrum master may rapidly prototype many project parameterizations, resulting in many possible timelines. Without the use of a timeline generation and solving tool which interfaces with an ALM tool, retrieves project features, and converts project features to a common format suitable for computations based on working speeds, a Scrum master would need to generate and check a timeline by hand, and work indirectly by manually copying data out of the ALM tool, leading to a slow and potentially error-prone project roadmapping process which does not permit rapid prototyping of possible timelines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Wesley Mao, Stephen Richard Jones, Daniel Joseph Sanders, Milo Harper Skalicky, Ronald Patrick Allen, Sarah Lynn Richards, Kevin Michael Arnold

Patent number: 8007622Abstract: Apparatus and methods for manufacturing personal care absorbent articles. Such personal care absorbent article includes a fastening area in the front portion for receiving fastener material thereon. First and second fault lines are formed on opposing sides of the fastening area leaving uncut web portions at the fault lines during selected manufacturing operations, thus to support machine direction stresses on the front portion web, and subsequently trimming away such uncut web portions of the fault lines. Fastener material is applied over the first and second fault lines, thus bridging the fault lines. The fastener material is releasably secured to the fastening area, non-releasably secured to the front portion outwardly of the respective fault lines, and unsecured to the front portion between the fastening area and the fault lines thus to support a re-fastening feature of such personal care absorbent articles.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2008Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Harold Norbert Heller, Donald Joseph Sanders, Paul Theodore Van Gompel, Lori Sue Schutkoske, Cindy Lou Price, Suzanne Marie Schmoker, Sarah Jane Marie Freiburger, Mary Anne Bruemmer-Prestley, Paul William Christoffel

Publication number: 20090266848Abstract: A soap dispensing assembly has a container housing having an interior that retains soap. The container housing has an opening which communicates with the interior. A pump unit secured to the top of the container housing at a location separate from the opening. The pump unit includes a dispensing assembly through which soap from the interior is dispensed. A lid that is removably coupled to the opening to allow for a quick replenishment of the soap without having to remove the pump unit. The pump unit can also include an actuator that has a soap outlet, with the actuator is pivoted to draw soap from the interior of the container housing to the soap outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2009Publication date: October 29, 2009Inventors: Frank Yong, Adam C.

Publication number: 20080086504Abstract: A virtual interview system that includes: a web accessible interface for interviewers and candidates, a database, and one or more workstations for accessing job postings and conducting interviews. The web accessible interface allows interview candidates to provide profile information and resume information. In addition, the web accessible interface allows interviewers or recruiters to list job descriptions, postings, etc., and to retrieve and review virtual interviews. A candidate creates a virtual interview by visiting a workstation, searching for a job posting and then initiating a virtual interview. The candidate is presented with questions in a format selected by the candidate. The candidate's responses are recorded and stored as a virtual interview. The interviewers may access the information regarding a client in multi-staged fashion to prevent the presentation of EEOC related data at the early stages of the interview review process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2006Publication date: April 10, 2008Inventors: Joseph Sanders, Timothy Rochon
