Patent number: 7848834Abstract: A computer system used for carrying out engineering tasks as a part of an engineering project. The system includes a plurality of client computers and one or more server computers accessible by the client computers via a communications network. Distributed across these computers is a multi-tiered software system that includes system programs, application programs, and database programs. The system programs include a system objects module, a job manager module, an event manager module, and a workbook module. The system objects module provides security and authentication services. The application programs carry out at least some of the engineering tasks. The job manager module manages use of the application programs. The event manager module receives and distributes notifications between at least some of the modules. The workbook module provides a user of the application programs with engineering information related to one or more of the engineering tasks.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C. Tecco, Kong Ping Oh, Osman E. Atesoglu, William E. Bejcek

Patent number: 6341282Abstract: A system for retrieving and scoring of information from an information source includes a user interface operable to receive one or more search criterion and an importance rate assigned to each of the search criterion. A processor is coupled to the user interface and the information source and is operable to retrieve information from the information source. The system also includes a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor. A computer program encoded on the computer-readable storage medium and executable by the processor scores the retrieved information using the search criterion and the importance rates assigned to the search criterion.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1999Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: Electronic Data Systems CorporationInventors: Scott A. Sharpe, Steven J. Lundberg, William E. Bejcek
