  • Publication number: 20230380599
    Abstract: A framework spanning the lower end of a mattress and positioned to use overlying bedding materials for creation of an enclosed open space on the upper surface of the mattress for the free movement of feet and lower limbs of humans. The controlled environment within this space provides ample surface area to allow healthful movement of air currents, heat and humidity and thus enable unrestrained natural radiation of body heat through the feet of sleeper(s) encouraging the beneficial outcomes of nocturnal circadian rhythms. With comfort and convenience as high priorities, this bedding accessory is designed for long-term use in therapeutic and household settings.

  • Patent number: 11727682
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a cooking process using an over-the-range appliance mountable over a cooktop appliance includes obtaining an image of a cooking utensil that is positioned on the cooktop appliance and is performing a cooking process. The method further includes determining that a lid is required for the cooking process, e.g., based on a recipe being run as a software application on the over-the-range appliance. The image may be analyzed using artificial intelligence techniques to determine that the lid is not present when required, and responsive action may be implemented, e.g., by turning off the cooktop appliance or providing a user notification.

  • Patent number: 7349862
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a business intelligence monitor method and system. Business intelligence indicators are monitored by generating a monitoring repository through selecting functions from a collection of functions, for receiving the business intelligence indicators as inputs. The thresholds for the business intelligence indicators are then established to define the states for the business intelligence indicators. Each state of the business intelligence indicators is assigned an associated priority. The monitoring repository is updated by retrieving a current value for each of the business intelligence indicators from a data source, thereby determining the state for each of the business intelligence indicators based on the current value. A report based on the updated monitoring repository is then created.

  • Publication number: 20080046439
    Abstract: A content framework system and method. The content framework system comprises a content infrastructure, a content flow management system, and a content association system. The content infrastructure comprises content management systems. Each of the content management systems comprises content. The content flow management system comprises an acquisition tool comprising an agent tool. The content flow management system controls a flow of each of the content within and between each of the content management systems. The acquisition tool provides an interface between the content flow management system and the content infrastructure. The content association system generates a first set of associations metadata comprising a first set of links for linking the content management systems together. The agent tool monitors the content from each of the content management systems and adding to a registry, a description of the content from each of the content management systems based on the monitoring.

  • Publication number: 20060167904
    Abstract: A content framework system and method. The content framework system comprises a content infrastructure, a content association system, and a user interface system. The content infrastructure comprises content management systems. Each of the content management systems comprises content. The content association system is for generating a first set of associations metadata comprising a first set of links for linking the content management systems together and a second set of associations metadata comprising a second set of links for linking the content management systems together. The first set of links and the second set of links are not a same set of links. The user interface system is for visually rendering the first set of links and the second set of links.
