Abstract: A method and system for managing complex construction projects by monitoring subcontractors in real time. Whenever a subcontractor realizes a need for a change in specification or anticipates any other reason that might delay completion of construction as scheduled, the subcontractor selects from a computerized menu the appropriate new status for the subcontractor's task and provides other information relevant to the changed situation. The status change is displayed on a display device, an electronic dashboard, so as to be easily noticed, the dashboard also providing one-click links to a display showing how widespread are the problems and a display for on-line review and approval of the status change by a manager or engineer in charge of the project, who notes the status change on the display and with whatever input may be provided by the other persons notified of the status change, decides the best course of action to keep the construction on schedule.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an interpolated clock signal having a first frequency is received, and the interpolated clock signal is periodically sampled based on a reference clock signal to generate periodically-sampled values, the reference clock signal having substantially the first frequency. A phase of the interpolated clock signal may be set to a phase degree at which the periodically-sampled values resolve to more than one value, and the phase of the interpolated clock signal may be incrementally changed until the periodically-sampled values resolve to one value. A non-linearity of the interpolated clock signal may be determined based on the number of incremental changes.

Abstract: A method and system for preparing a program for customization. The customization system “compiles” a computer program by identifying the content of each statement of the computer program that may be customized. The customization system identifies the type associated with each statement. Based on the type of statement, the customization system identifies content of the statement that can be customized and stores the identified content in a custom content bundle. The customization system then replaces the identified content in the statement with an include content command that includes the content identifier of the corresponding content. When the computer program is executed, the include content command of the statement causes the retrieving of a content associated with its content identifier from a custom content bundle.
