Publication number: 20150200871Abstract: A computerised method of allowing one or more users to access information is disclosed. The method includes causing a first computing device to transmit data representing a map to a remote computing device for display to a user thereof and receiving at the first computing device area-data defining a user defined area, relative to the map, wherein the area has associated therewith one or more user-defined parameters that hold for that area. The method further includes causing the first computing device to process the area-data and to link areas having the same, or at least similar, user-defined parameter associated therewith thereby building up a network of areas having the same, or at least similar, parameters and allowing the or each user to access the network of areas, by obtaining data from the first computing device, to obtain information about any one or more of the areas and/or of the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Inventors: Alex Cheung, Frank Cheung, Aaron Cambridge

Patent number: 7650347Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for tracking and executing a job comprising a series of tasks. Each task is executable on a separate computing device. The method comprises: utilizing a workload manager to identify an initial schedule of implementation for the job; utilizing agents to selectively control execution of the tasks; and for each agent, utilizing a publish/subscription interface to isolate communications of the workload manager from each agent and to communicate with other publish/subscription interfaces of other agents to determine when to activate its task. The interface utilizes a broker adapted to communicate with other brokers to disseminate communications amongst the agents.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Computer Associates Think, Inc.Inventors: Serguei Mankovski, Hans-Arno Jacobsen, Eli Fidler, David Matheson, Pengcheng Wan, Alex Cheung, Guoli Li

Patent number: 6025458Abstract: Disclosed are degradable materials including molded products, laminates, foams, nonwoven materials, adhesives, coatings and films, and particularly packaging films. The materials are made using polydioxaneone polymers comprising at least two different dioxaneone-based repeating units. Preferred polymers are polydioxanediones. First repeating units have less carbon atoms in constituent groups extending from the polymer backbone than second repeating units. Physical characteristics and degradation of the materials can be varied by varying the choice and/or relative proportions of first and second repeating units in the polydioxaneone polymers. Methods for preparing polydioxaneone polymers that can be used in the manufacture of the materials are also discussed, as are suitable monomers and methods for preparing such monomers.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1998Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Chronopol, Inc.Inventors: Edward S.

Patent number: 5750732Abstract: Disclosed is a novel integrated process for production of cyclic esters which includes recovery of starting materials, such as lactic acid from a dilute aqueous lactic acid-containing solution, by solvent extraction. The starting materials are then formed into cyclic esters by removal of water wherein the concentration of higher molecular weight oligomers is maintained below about 20 wt % of the reaction composition. The process further includes providing a recovery solvent for the reaction composition and separating the cyclic esters from the starting materials and higher molecular weight oligomers by liquid-liquid equilibrium separation. The present invention is further directed toward independent novel unit operations of the overall process. The present invention provides for the efficient production and recovery of cyclic esters due to integration of the various unit operations by use of appropriate solvents and recycle streams.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1995Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Chronopol, Inc.Inventors: Dan W. Verser, Alex Cheung, Timothy J. Eggeman, William A. Evanko, Kevin H. Schilling, Manfred Meiser, Anthony E. Allen, Melville E. D. Hillman, George E. Cremeans, Edward S. Lipinsky
