Patent number: 9803721Abstract: A cable carrier chain having link sections that include metal and plastic portions to allow the chain to operate at high velocity yet also be suitable for high acceleration and deceleration and/or heavy load applications. The metal portions are “free floating” when the chain rotates around a pivot point to allow the plastic portions to flex, but become “locked out” when the chain is no longer rotating to provide sufficient strength to support the load of the chain.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Dynatect Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Jared Glissman, Mark Zanolla, Jay O'Brien

Patent number: 8296170Abstract: A business process or project management system provides for creation of a project or process definition which includes all activities required to complete the process as well as any dependencies, conditions, and deadlines for each activity, and participants designated to carry out the activities. Once the process is started, activities are carried out in turn when the dependencies and conditions are met, and the system updates when any activities are complete so that any activities dependent on completed activities can be started. A reporting module creates status reports for each activity which are displayed to a user such as an administrator on a user interface. Stored information on previous instances of an activity are used to predict when an activity is likely to be late and to provide alerts to users prior to starting the activity.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: BP LogixInventors: Jay O'Brien, Joby O'Brien
