  • Publication number: 20190019428
    Abstract: A system and method for use in the field of online learning to design, deliver, measure, track, and manage educational courses and programs. The system and method serve to improve the quality and consistency of online course delivery and provide critical analytics to administrators. The system and method are implemented as an integrated suite of web applications configured and designed to allow a user of a computerized system including at least one computer processor operating such web applications to design, deliver, measure, and manage educational content. A number of necessary functionalities in this process, including source control service storage, content storage and service, curriculum mapping, assessment/rubric generation, stylized content experience for learners and instructors (learning path), and data analytics for learners, instructors, and administrators.

  • Patent number: 6502628
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for unidirectional coolant flow control unit for pressurized cooling systems. The invention comprises a valve on a coolant flow control unit. The valve remains in the open position during normal function of the coolant flow control unit. If the coolant flow control unit fails, the valve closes. Thus, the cooling system performs better than prior art cooling systems in the event of a failure of one or more coolant flow control units. In one embodiment, multiple improved coolant flow control units can be implemented wherein a flow of coolant enters one side of the system and exits the other side. In the even of a failure, the closure of the valve is caused by the shifting pressure within the system, which forestalls the cooling problems associated with prior art redundant coolant control flow systems.
