Abstract: A system and method for automatically alerting participants to or listeners of a communication when a predefined section of the communication is reached are disclosed. In accordance with an exemplary method, prior to a communication, a document corresponding to the communication is marked at predefined locations. During a communication, the document is reviewed for marks, and when a mark is detected, an alert or notification is sent to one or more participants. The participants may then join the communication a point corresponding to the pre-defined section(s).

Abstract: A method for reconfiguring an electrical architecture for a vehicle is provided. The method obtains global design data comprising automotive options applicable to a set of vehicles, by a processor, wherein the set of vehicles comprises the vehicle; translates the automotive options of the global design data into terms applicable to a vehicle platform, to create a mapping file; obtains a design project applicable to the vehicle platform, wherein the design project comprises at least a plurality of expressions associated with the automotive options and a vehicle platform diagram, and wherein the plurality of expressions comprise at least one of mathematical expressions and logical expressions; generates an mapped set of designs for the design project, using the terms applicable to the vehicle platform; and creates electrical build configurations for the vehicle platform, based on the mapped set of designs, wherein the electrical build configurations comprise a revised vehicle platform design.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining settings of wires in an electrical system are provided. The method includes setting a first wire setting of a wire from among a plurality of wires to a pin setting of a pin attached to the wire if the pin has a pin setting; setting the first wire setting to a first connector setting of a first connector attached to the pin if the pin does not have a pin setting and the connector setting includes a default setting; and setting the first wire setting to at least one from among: a second pin setting of a second pin attached to the wire from among the plurality of pins; and a second connector setting of a second connector attached to the second pin if the pin does not have a pin setting and the first connector setting does not have a default setting.
