Publication number: 20070005618Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for modeling business information and providing navigation between business information models. An exemplary method for modeling business information uses integrated model data, and includes the steps of storing a first business information model and second business information model written in description notations, and assigning the second business information model to an object, wherein the object is represented by a symbol in the first business information model. An exemplary method for providing navigation between business information models includes displaying a graphical representation of an object in a first business information model, and providing an interface for navigating to display a second business information model, where the step of providing the interface includes providing the interface with the graphical representation of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2006Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Konstantin Ivanov, Dagmar Emma Anneliese Reul

Publication number: 20060293941Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for modeling business processes. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for graphically modeling a business process. In the method, the business process may be modeled with a plurality of symbols. Each symbol may have a color corresponding to a semantic grouping and may comprise an icon pictorially representing a BPEL concept. Further, each symbol may be linked to XML code, wherein the XML code is adapted to implement the BPEL concept represented by the symbol.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Konstantin Ivanov, Uwe Roediger

Publication number: 20060227485Abstract: The method and apparatus includes an uninterruptible power supply along with its rechargeable battery and a plurality of video protection circuits all within a common chassis. The video protection circuits are configured to protect the digital video recorder from surges introduced at the video cameras or cabling. The uninterruptible power supply is configured to provide power to the digital video recorder should a line voltage power failure occur and may also include a surge protector to further protect the digital video recorder from power line surges. Since all components are housed substantially within a common chassis, a method of isolating the video protection circuit and associated connectors from the radio frequency noise within the common chassis is described as well as a method and apparatus to allow removal and replacement of the video protection circuits should a power surge destroy them.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2005Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventors: John DeBella, Konstantin Ivanov, Hung Tu

Patent number: 6807796Abstract: A machine and method for loading surgical needles having attached sutures into a package. The machine has a rotating disk mounted to a frame. The disk has circumferential grooves for receiving a suture. The machine has a block slidably mounted to the machine for receiving a needle and transporting it to a motion device. The motion device moves the needle to a package on a packaging machine. Rotation of the package by the packaging machine causes the suture to move out of the grooves and into the package.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2003Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Clifford A. Dey, Robert J. Cerwin, Thomas J. Zingale, Konstantin Ivanov, Delfin A. Lorenzo Iglesias, Manfred Hild, Manfred Reiser, Bernard Wachter

Patent number: 6804937Abstract: A machine and process for packaging armed sutures into tray packages. The machine has a frame with a rotatable indexing disc member mounted to the top of the frame. A plurality of tool nests are rotatably mounted to the top of the indexing disc. Tray packages mounted in the toll nests are rotated to wind sutures into a suture channel in the packages. A stylus having a front nose member and a rear heel member guides suture into the suture channel. Channel winding pins in the winding tooling provide for an arranged wind of suture in a suture channel of the tray packages. The machine has an in-line printer and a punching machine for printing and punching paper covers from strips of stock material, which are then mounted to the tray packages.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2003Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Clifford A. Dey, Robert J. Cerwin, Thomas J. Zingale, Konstantin Ivanov, Delfin A. Lorenzo Iglesias, Manfred Hild, Manfred Reiser, Bernard Wachter

Patent number: 5664404Abstract: The specification discloses an automated apparatus and method for packaging surgical needles having sutures attached thereto wherein a bundle of needles and sutures are placed at a semi-automated separation station and an operator feeds the needles, one at a time, into a rotating needle feed wheel. As the feed wheel advances, the suture is tensioned and directed along a pre-determined path to separate it from the remaining sutures in the bundle. The apparatus has a plurality of individually rotatable tool nests which are sequentially spaced on a rotating or indexing turntable. These tool nests sequentially receive plastic packages for receiving the needle and suture at a first station. At a second station, a needle is inserted into the package by robotic fingers which have retrieved the needle and attached suture from the rotating needle feed wheel. The rotating needle feed wheel and the rotating tool nests are synchronized to step together as each advances.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1995Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignees: Ethicon, Inc., Harro Hofliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbHInventors: Konstantin Ivanov, Donald Pompei, John Rega, Lorens Slokovic, Haro Hofliger, Manfred Reiser, Erwin Bauder, Edgar Wieland, Roland Eissele, Manfred Hild
