  • Software crash event analysis method and system
    Publication number: 20030084376
    Abstract: A method for internal analysis of crash events in software includes sending a first operation signal from a first software checkpoint to an event log. The method further includes sending a second operation signal from a second software checkpoint, which sequentially follows the first software checkpoint, to the event log. The method still further includes computing the reliability of the software from data contained in the event log.

  • Positioning an item in three dimensions via a graphical representation
    Publication number: 20020149628
    Abstract: A graphical representation representing at least a portion of an observable three-dimensional space is presented. A user can select a location on the graphical representation to direct a moveable item to a three-dimensional location within the space corresponding to the location selected by the user. Calibration operations can be performed, and error correction information can be generated to avoid mechanical error. Manipulation devices using non-orthogonal coordinate systems can be supported.

  • Control system for an electrically propelled traction vehicle
    Patent number: 5373219
    Abstract: A control system for an electrical propulsion system for a large wheeled vehicle adapted to haul a payload, the vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an electric generating means driven by the engine. The control system measures selected parameters and controls the engine and generating means to maximize output, and records historical operating data relating to the vehicle and its systems, and has a 2 digit display that provides information useful in troubleshooting problems.
