Publication number: 20230297549Abstract: The invention includes an algorithmic method for dynamically computing complex relationships among objects of an underlying functional system. The invention includes a method to algorithmically determine a set of functional locations in n-dimensional functional space of a set of elements of a functional system by electronically representing a set of data entities in a database system, the database system comprising a logical data model for structuring data sets from which functional information can be derived, using the logical data model to associate a set of characteristics with a reference point in the functional information system, selecting a functional positioning algorithm, and wherein the functional positioning algorithm executes a set of steps that takes as input a set of characteristics and returns as output a set of locations in n-dimensional functional space.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Locus LPInventors: Rory Riggs, Elizabeth Bowling, Barry Fox, Daniel Goldman, Zachary Hall, Jordan Johnson, Elizabeth Prior, Sean Sandys, Dylan Wengert

Publication number: 20070124189Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products sustain a fleet of configuration-controlled assets. The method involves integrating a plurality of previously separate systems with reusable business transactions associated with managing a fleet of vehicles. The method also involves receiving operational data associated with a vehicle of the fleet, integrating the operational data per customer requirements, packaging and distributing the operational data to the plurality of systems, and installing and distributing the operational data to one or more applications of the plurality of systems utilizing reusable business transactions. The system utilizes a plurality of applications and a plurality of logical subsystems, which are connected to each other through gateways. The logical subsystems use a common format defined by a set of messages. However, the applications can use a plurality of different formats.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2006Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventors: Chris Stoughton, Jenny Thompson, Peter Gould, Alan Bacon, Dean Hooks, Robert White, Barry Fox, Janet Oakes, Robert Beggs, Kim Bonin, Terence Burke

Publication number: 20070106545Abstract: The invention relates to methods for production rate and capacity planning used to answer key questions necessary for planning efficient production operations, where the goal is to plan the performance of some repetitive body of work subject to a combination of constraints on duration, rate, and resources. In one embodiment, resource quantity, unit duration, production interval, and/or resource utilization may be determined utilizing a method of applying derived equations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: STEVEN JOWERS, BARRY FOX

Patent number: 7114504Abstract: A cigarette pack holder with an adjacent built-in ashtray section. The ashtray chamber is latterly adjacent the compartment for the cigarettes and extends downwardly and under the cigarette compartment. The ashtray section has a hinged cap that when in the closed position acts as a boss to engage a notch on the cover to secure the cover in place. The bottom of the device has a slider opening for removal of ashes. Spaced up from the bottom is a shelf to retain the cigarette or cigar pack. The ashtray is separated from the cigarette pack storage compartment by a heat resistant vertical wall. Other walls of the device should also be made of heat resistant material.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2003Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Inventor: Barry Fox

Publication number: 20020002477Abstract: A computer-based system for tracking and reporting attendance of individuals at continuing education activities and the like. One or more suitable identification devices, such as card readers, are placed at the site of the educational activity. An identification card is distributed to the each of the prospective attendees prior to occurrence of the educational activity. Upon entering the site of the educational activity, data from the identification card of each attendee is electronically recognized by the card reader. For example, a magnetically encoded card may be swiped through the card reader in a manner similar to that by which credit cards are validated. After all of the attendees have been identified in this manner, data stored in the card reader is transferred to a central computer. The data is then used to update various database files stored in the central computer. The information can then be analyzed, sorted or otherwise manipulated to generate selected attendance reports and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2001Publication date: January 3, 2002Inventors: R.
