  • Publication number: 20200126173
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to, responsive to a request for data modification, present available data options. The processor is also configured to, responsive to selection of a data option, present a consideration modification. Further, responsive to a user data option election, the processor is configured to present an amended agreement reflecting the consideration modification. The processor is additionally configured to, responsive to user agreement to the amended agreement, create a revised document and create a time ordered, sequentially linked record of the request, selection, election, respective responsive presentations, agreement and creation.

  • Patent number: 10054920
    Abstract: A remote diagnostic system for remotely diagnosing and developing a dynamic system including a dynamic system being controlled by a first control system and a device model being controlled by a second control system. The device model simulates the dynamic system and inputs and corresponding outputs are recorded to test the control system and operation of the dynamic system. During operation the dynamic systems inputs and outputs are recorded. The dynamic system input and outputs may then be compared to the device model inputs and outputs to check the accuracy of the device model. The device model may then be updated based on the results of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 7394381
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for marine asset security and tracking (MAST). A method includes transmitting identification data, location data and environmental state sensor data from a radio frequency tag. An apparatus includes a radio frequency tag that transmits identification data, location data and environmental state sensor data. Another method includes transmitting identification data and location data from a radio frequency tag using hybrid spread-spectrum modulation. Another apparatus includes a radio frequency tag that transmits both identification data and location data using hybrid spread-spectrum modulation.
