  • Patent number: 8880591
    Abstract: The workflow management system provides automatic management and execution of workflows that include both automated and user-driven actions. The system monitors connected external systems and/or users for the occurrence of events, which trigger the execution of one or more workflow plans. Each workflow plans consists of a plurality of actions and user actions to be performed in a sequential manner. Actions are executed automatically by the system, but user actions are executed asynchronously due to the inclusion of users in the workflow plan. The system handles the asynchronous nature of user actions by maintaining a pending user action database that users can access to view pending user actions, complete user actions, and reserve user actions for subsequent completion.

  • Patent number: 5765662
    Abstract: A raise buggy has a storage and transport cabinet for storing and transporting equipment and material along an inclined raise, over an inclined raise floor extending between a base level and a raise face, wheels for rolling the cabinet over the raise floor in contact with the raise floor, the cabinet having a forward, inclined, generally planar primary work surface extending between an upper surface of the cabinet and a lower surface of the cabinet, inclined so as to be generally horizontal when the raise buggy has been elevated along the inclined raise floor by selective winching by cable means to a position adjacent and below the raise face.
