  • Patent number: 11521728
    Abstract: Embodiments for scheduling the delivery of multiple medications to a patient by a processor. Any interactions between the multiple medications or between one of the multiple medications and a type of food are considered to construct an analytical model to identify an optimized schedule for delivery of the multiple medications to the patient. The optimized schedule is adjusted in real time as additional information concerning the multiple medications and the type of food are introduced, and delivered to a dispensing device associated with the one of the multiple medications.

  • Patent number: 10580021
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to supply chain recommendations and application in real-time. A correlation between order proposals and firm orders is provided, and a correlation between the proposals and orders is measured in the form of compliance. A command associated with a measurement of the compliance is generated and applied to one or more hardware addressable components or associated machines. The application of the commands changes a physical aspect of the product, thereby effectively transforming a state of the product.

  • Patent number: 8244591
    Abstract: A method for processing an incoming order for equipment can be provided. A plurality of objects representing environmental factors is read, each object comprising at least one of a required parts list and an excluded parts list. Next, a customer places an order for computer equipment, wherein the order comprises a list of parts. A list of environmental factors is entered by the customer and the list of environmental factors is matched to at least one of the objects. The method can further include comparing the list of parts of the order to the required parts list and/or the excluded parts list of the at least one object. Finally, a record that the order is validated is stored if the list of parts of the order is consistent with the required parts list and/or the excluded parts list of the at least one object.

  • Publication number: 20100274601
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for maintaining a product offering suite, identifies a subset of proposals from a proposal database maintained on a data processing system, using selected criteria stored on the data processing system, analyzes the subset of proposals using conformance criteria also stored on the data processing system to form an analyzed subset of proposals, and identifies a set of alert instances from the analyzed subset of proposals. The computer-implemented method further updates the product offering suite on the data processing system using information using the set of alert instances.

  • Publication number: 20100057531
    Abstract: Discovering Rarely-Planned Parts using Order Proposal Data Discovering rarely-planned parts using order proposal data in a manufacturing/assembly environment. Requests for rarely-planned parts are detected by analyzing data from order proposals, providing early warning to the manufacturer prior to receiving an order that uses the parts and allowing the manufacturer to perform advance planning, ordering, and/or scheduling for the parts. The early warnings may also pertain to resources which may be associated with the parts, including testing, documentation, and so forth for supporting use of the parts in products. User-specified rules (or other conditions/constraints) may be used for defining which order proposals to analyze and/or the type of analysis to be performed.
