  • Patent number: 9075706
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory for storing and accessing data in the memory. The processor may arrange the data in a stack data container including values extending from a stack top to a stack bottom, operate the stack data container in first and second modes of operation, and while in the first mode of operation, push and pop a respective value from the stack top of the stack data container. The processor may also while in the second mode, reverse an orientation of the stack data container and the values therein, and push and pop a respective value from the stack bottom of the reversed stack data container.

  • Patent number: 6966061
    Abstract: A program initiative management tool provides managers with a view of program initiative status by task (phase). Program initiatives are listed in order of priority. Target completion dates and actual completion dates are entered for each task using different text formats and/or colors, or other visual cues to indicate whether the entry is an actual date or a target completion date. In addition, jeopardies are illustrated in the program initiative management tool when resources or required inputs are not available to complete a particular task by its target completion date. A program initiative delivery process document includes all activities that can be performed to complete tasks in a program initiative. The program initiative delivery process document provides a template for program initiative development. A relational database stores descriptions of activities, resources and input/output flags required to complete tasks.
