Abstract: A system and method for minimizing safety hazards along a railroad track by optimizing visual railroad inspection frequency based on acquired data relating to railroad safety maintenance. The system and method can provide various rating systems for the railroad assets to optimize railroad inspections by focusing the inspections to railroad assets experiencing suboptimal conditions. The ratings of the railroad assets are based on various data collected from physical factors impacting the life of the railroad assets, such as an amount of rainfall, locomotive weight and frequency of passing, and manually detected defects. The system and method can focus the railroad inspection efforts to the railroad assets requiring increased attention in response to the suboptimal conditions. The focused inspections can result in longer lifespan of the railroad assets, efficient inspections, and safer railroads.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for managing requisition and hiring. Such systems and methods may include one or more user interfaces that may be accessible by a candidate for a position within a company, an employee of the company, and/or a human resources employee of the company. Requisition and hiring systems and methods may assist with managing the hiring process for the company. Job posting interfaces may facilitate posting jobs to one or more job boards. A candidate network may assist with collecting references and/or feedback for a job candidate, and may utilize social networks. Requisition hiring systems and methods may also assist with mapping out career paths for employees.

Abstract: Strain gauges are mounted on each crank arm of the bicycle and provide a measure of the torque applied to each crank arm. In a preferred embodiment, strain gauges are mounted on opposite edges of each crank arm, which includes a self-contained power, electrical circuitry, and a wireless transmitter for transmitting the strain measurement information to a main controller. The main controller includes a wireless transceiver for transmitting and receiving data from both the left and right crank arms and external devices. Memory is also included for storing such data for subsequent analysis to determine the individual leg performance of a cyclist during a race or training session.

Abstract: An enterprise wide integrated training system. On-line training offering are aggregated into a searchable database. A corporation is a model in a relational database with each employee modeled as a user object have rights defined by the corporation and customized on an individual basis. A user interface permits access to the on-line offerings based on the defined rights. The user interface provides a portal for access to a corporate knowledge base that may be accessed for just in time training or to query an expert regarding a specific topic. Off-line training is facilitated through an entity wide events calendar individually adapted for the particular user based or attributes of the corresponding user object.
