Patent number: 8881092Abstract: A tool is provided for addressing a number of issues related to assembling software stacks including multiple uncoordinated components such as open source projects. The tool identifies individual projects for stacking, manages dependency relationships and provides an intuitive graphical interface to assist a user. A project filter is also provided for controlling access to or installation of projects in accordance with filter criteria. In this manner, compliance with internal policies regarding the use of open source or other software is facilitated. The user can also add projects to the collection of supported projects and define stack macros or stacros. Once such stacros are defined, various functionality can be provided analogous to that provided for individual projects.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventors: Rod Cope, Eric Weidner

Patent number: 7669199Abstract: A tool is provided for addressing a number of issues related to installing software stacks including multiple uncoordinated components such as open source projects. The tool selects a plurality of software projects, addresses dependency and resource issues and installs the projects on a computer as a functional stack. A test procedure is also created to verify proper installation. A project filter is also provided for controlling access to or installation of projects in accordance with filter criteria. In this manner, compliance with internal policies regarding the use of open source or other software is facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventors: Rod Cope, Eric Weidner

Patent number: 7137160Abstract: A bed (10) includes a base (12) and a frame assembly (14). A head end support assembly (16) and a foot end support assembly (18) are coupled between the base (12) and the frame assembly (14). The frame assembly (14) includes first and second side frame members (80, 82) located above the base (12). The bed (10) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms (160) coupled to the first and second side frame members (80, 82), and a patient support surface (162) configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members (80, 82) by the plurality of latch mechanisms (160). A rotational drive mechanism (130) is coupled to the foot end support assembly (18) to rotate the frame assembly (14) about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface (250) is coupled to the frame assembly (14) to support a patient in the prone position.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2004Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Barry D. Hand, Richard Robinson, Matthew R. Cavanaugh, Jack J. Brooks, Vincent L. Babson, Steven J. Doehler, Eric Weidner
