  • Methods and system for providing context sensitive information
    Patent number: 8489607
    Abstract: A method and system are described for providing context sensitive data to a system user. The method includes the steps of identifying the user and querying databases to create a user context. Information is aggregated from the network databases and filtered using the user context. Providing the correct data needed by the user for that particular time, location and job function.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Christopher Scott Fuselier, John James Dougherty, Joseph John Fisher, Thomas A. Digate, Richard Alan Carpenter, Bernardo Anger

  • System and method for determining a state of a door
    Patent number: 7388467
    Abstract: A system for determining a state of a door having a locking mechanism for locking the door includes a locking mechanism and a door sensor. The locking mechanism sensor is disposed for sensing a condition of the locking mechanism and generating a signal indicative thereof. The door sensor disposed for sensing a condition of the door and generating a signal indicative thereof. The system further includes a processor for determining a state of the door, in response to the signals from the locking mechanism sensor and the door sensor. The state of the door is a secured state when the door sensor senses the condition of the door as closed and the locking mechanism sensor senses the condition of the locking mechanism as locked. A method for determining a state of a door having a locking mechanism for locking the door includes sensing a condition of the locking mechanism and sensing a condition of the door.
