  • Publication number: 20240112105
    Abstract: A work request interface receives work request data for a power generation system. The work request data includes a work request having data characterizing equipment of the power generation system and a first state of the equipment. The work request interface processes the work request to modify at least one field in the work request to provide a standardized work request. The standardized work request includes data characterizing operations needed to change a state of the equipment from the first state to a second state. A work order generator receives the standardized work request and determines a priority of the standardized work request. The work order generator determines a mode of operation of the power generation system needed to change the state of the equipment from the first state to the second state and generates a set of work orders for the work request.

  • Patent number: 6176057
    Abstract: A weakened building member, having a building component running through an opening in it, is strengthened by reinforcing members attached to the building member that accommodate the presence of the building component. The reinforcing members are attached to the building member by fasteners or adhesives. The reinforcing members attach to at least one side of the building member. They extend from areas above the opening in the building member to areas below it, and pass around opposite sides of the building component. The reinforcing members can be positioned relative to each other prior to installation in such a manner as to allow the reinforcing members to slide around a building component that has already been run through the building member near their point of attachment to the building member.
