  • Patent number: 9009074
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating and publishing electronic spare parts catalogs that support electronic business processes for managing and selling spare parts for complex machines and systems, such as gas turbines. Automated systems and methods for generating electronic catalogs of spare parts employ an extensible, template-based framework to extract and integrate catalog content (static and/or real-time spare parts data) from various backend business information systems and data sources.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8015145
    Abstract: A system provides a user interface for viewing nursing problems with multiple levels of granularity in a knowledge base and rendered in an application that are dependent on context of problems, patient demographic information and information needed by a user interface image. A user interface system presents patient medical problem information to a user. The system includes a first search processor for automatically searching a knowledge base of information associating multiple different medical problems with corresponding attributes to find an attribute indicating a particular characteristic of a particular medical problem, in response to occurrence of an event. A display processor initiates generation of data representing a display image.

  • Patent number: 7613638
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing electronic business applications for managing and selling spare parts, wherein electronic catalogs of spare parts are used to present static and/or real-time spare parts data from disparate backend data sources in a uniform, integrated manner, and wherein business logic programs are provided to support transaction activities using the electronic catalogs of spare parts, such as navigating the catalog content, and retrieving static and/or real-time spare parts data and initiating spare parts sales with the backend business information systems and spare parts data source.

  • Patent number: 7370061
    Abstract: A technique for optimizing the archival and management of data stored as XML documents is capable of handling mixed data including highly structured data and unstructured data. The technique maps the structured data to a relational database while storing the unstructured data in its native XML format. The data is updated using a rules database that maps updating rules against attributes and classes of elements within the documents. A document checking/validation engine performs the updates based on rule verification. A search engine searches the documents using both a path index table and a weighted content index.

  • Publication number: 20070203746
    Abstract: A user interface system reduces the number of user interactions required in order data entry by providing data representing a candidate order for provision of an item or services including user modifiable values of a set of related attributes and provides further candidate alternatives in response to user selection of an attribute value and other heuristics. A user interface system enabling user selection of related order parameters identifying an order for providing an item incorporates a repository including information identifying candidate items for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. An individual item for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A user interface processor provides data representing a display image identifying an initial complete candidate order including multiple related order parameters, in response to user entry of order associated data.

  • Publication number: 20060143093
    Abstract: A user interface system decreases the number of user interactions with a computer user interface, used to select items in multiple related menus, through a comprehensive heuristic menu arrangement control by providing several discrete, yet complementary, features. The system enables user selection of related parameters identifying an order for providing an item. A repository includes information identifying candidate items for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. An individual item for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A user interface processor provides data representing a display image identifying an initial complete candidate order including multiple related parameters, in response to user entry of order-associated data.
