Patent number: 12494133Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for on-time performance impact evaluation. In some examples, first flight plan data that includes a plurality of scheduled air-based routes may be determined. A first route of the plurality of scheduled air-based routes may be selected for a first package. First scan data related to the first package may be received. A first slack time associated with the first package on a first flight of the first route may be determined based at least in part on the first scan data. The first package being assigned to the first route may be evaluated based at least in part on the first slack time.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2023Date of Patent: December 9, 2025Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Nilay Noyan Bulbul, Xiaofeng Wei, Eric Johnson Schaffer, Timothy Bill, Mark McFarland, Na An, Lingan Satkunanathan, Timothy Lee Jacobs, David John Michael

Patent number: 11610164Abstract: A workflow project design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes creating a mapping between an executable version of an object-orientated process and an un-executable version of the object-orientated process. The method also includes transmitting the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and a toolset file to a client device for display in a web browser. The method further includes receiving from the client device a modify instruction to modify at least one of attributes or properties of the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and updating the executable version of the object-orientated process based on the modify instruction. Additionally, the method includes receiving an execution instruction to execute the workflow project, executing the updated executable version of the object-orientated process to generate a result of the workflow project, and transmitting to the client device the result for display within the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: K2 Software, Inc.Inventors: Riaan Moolman, Wynand Coenraad Du Toit, Norman Anderson, Eric Johnson Schaffer, Grant Dickinson, Jacobus Hendrik du Preez, Olaf Alexander Wagner, Adriaan van Wyk

Patent number: 11023834Abstract: A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating an un-executable version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: K2 SOFTWARE, INC.Inventors: Riaan Moolman, Wynand Coenraad Du Toit, Norman Anderson, Eric Johnson Schaffer, Grant Dickinson, Jacobus Hendrik du Preez, Olaf Alexander Wagner, Adriaan van Wyk

Patent number: 10657474Abstract: A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating a typescript version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the typescript version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the typescript version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the typescript version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: SOURCECODE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Riaan Moolman, Wynand Coenraad Du Toit, Norman Anderson, Eric Johnson Schaffer, Grant Dickinson, Jacobus Hendrik du Preez, Olaf Alexander Wagner, Adriaan van Wyk
