Publication number: 20070191979Abstract: A computer-implemented method, program and apparatus supporting collaborative product development, that includes, maintaining under revision control, in a first repository, a plurality of artifacts, and in another repository, a plurality of artifact tuples. At least one first artifact tuple including first access information providing access to at least one of the plurality of artifacts, and at least one second artifact tuple including second access information providing access to at least one other of the plurality of artifact tuples. The method, program and apparatus also maintains under revision control, at least one workflow activity description and at least one artifact configuration selection rule. The method, program and apparatus further associates the workflow activity description with at least one of the plurality of artifact tuples, and associates the workflow activity description with the at least one artifact configuration selection rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sai Zeng, Jose Gomes, Man-Mohan Singh, Ioana Boier-Martin

Patent number: 7167173Abstract: Disclosed are an image editing user interface system and method. The system includes one or more computers with one or more graphical user interfaces, and a receiving process for receiving one or more rendered two dimensional images on the computer graphical user interface. Each two dimensional image represents reflected light from a lit three dimensional object model, and the reflective light at each point of the two dimensional image corresponds to an object point on the three dimensional object model. The system further includes a changing process for changing a portion of the two dimensional image by changing the light intensity at a set of one or more points on the two dimensional image. The change in light intensity at the set of points causes a change in the three dimensional model to correspond to the change in the light intensity.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Laurent Balmelli, Fausto Bernardini, José Gomes, Holly Rushmeier, Gabriel Taubin

Publication number: 20060230034Abstract: Described is a method and system of requirements management including the expression in a requirements management tool of a relationship selected from the group consisting of a satisfaction relationship, an alternative relationship, a conflict relationship, and a constant dependency relationship. Described is a requirements management method including a first automatic analyzing of a requirements set to find conflicts, having a conflict free requirements subset. and a second automatic analyzing of the requirements set to verify completeness.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2005Publication date: October 12, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Laurent Balmelli, Fausto Bernardini, Olga Golovenevsky, Jose Gomes, Mila Keren, Abraham Zehavi

Publication number: 20060174190Abstract: A plurality of artifacts, in a plurality of repositories, are maintained under revision control. A plurality of artifact tuples, in another repository, are maintained under revision control. At least one first artifact tuple comprise first information providing access to at least one of the artifacts. At least one second artifact tuple comprises second information providing access to at least one other artifact tuple. Each of the artifact tuples are associated with at least one of a plurality of product development processes. An apparatus comprises a plurality of repositories, each maintaining under revision control a plurality of artifacts and another repository that maintains under revision control a plurality of artifact tuples. A workflow process is adapted to allow users to associate each of the artifact tuples with at least one of a plurality of product development processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Jose Gomes, Man Mohan Singh, Mila Keren, Sai Zeng, Julia Rubin, Laurent Balmelli, Ioana Boier-Martin

Patent number: 7084386Abstract: A light source calibration target has a surface in view of a camera of an image capture system, The target includes a substrate having a substantially Lambertian surface, a visually distinct polygonal shape having corners formed on said surface so as to be visually distinct from the surface, and a plurality of objects each having an upstanding tip mounted on the surface, A method of using the calibration target operates, for each of the light sources to be calibrated, to capture an image of the target; process the captured image to derive light source calibration data and to store the calibration data.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Fausto Bernardini, Frank P. Giordano, Jose Gomes, Holly Rushmeier

Publication number: 20060143176Abstract: A method includes deriving a plurality of semantic categories for representing important semantic cues in images, where each semantic category is modeled through a combination of perceptual features that define the semantics of that category and that discriminate that category from other categories; for each semantic category, forming a set of the perceptual features comprising required features and frequently occurring features; comparing an image to said semantic categories; and classifying said image as belonging to one of said semantic categories if all of the required features and at least one of the frequently occurring features for that semantic category are present in said image. A database contains image information, where the image information includes at least one of already classified images, network locations of already classified images and documents containing already classified images. The database is searched for images matching an input query, comprising, e.g., an image, text, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2006Publication date: June 29, 2006Inventors: Aleksandra Mojsilovic, Bernice Rogowitz, Jose Gomes

Patent number: 6753554Abstract: A water flow regulating device that connects to a faucet and allows a user to set water temperature and pressure that flows from the faucet, and then turn it off and on without having to readjust the water pressure or temperature. Control of the water flow is accomplished through a manual switch located on the faucet housing or by a variety of push switches that could be activated by the hip, elbow, knee, or foot for hands free operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Inventors: Antonio Jose Gomes, Dina Gomes

Patent number: 5687932Abstract: An apparatus for removing heat from a thermally highly loaded structure, such as a spacecraft or hypersonic aircraft, is based on an endothermic reaction, and particularly the water gas synthesis reaction. A system of pipes (2) is arranged in the areas of the structure that are to be cooled. The pipes (2) are filled with a carbon core that includes passages through which steam passes, to react with the carbon and generate water gas. The system preferably includes a steam generator that uses some of the heat from the areas to be cooled for generating the steam that is conveyed through the carbon filled pipes (2).Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1995Date of Patent: November 18, 1997Assignee: Daimler-Benz Aerospace AGInventor: Jose Gomes
