Patent number: 10314219Abstract: A device comprises a rail configured to span and detachably couple to a housing. The device includes a plate that engages the housing and a mechanism securing the tool to the housing. The housing contains a printed circuit board configured with at least one row of slots, each slot configured with a retainer mechanism. A jaw assembly slides along the rail over more than one card positioned in the row of slots. The assembly includes a pair of inserts that perform either seating or extracting more than one card positioned in more than one slot. The device includes a lever for biasing the jaw assembly, where the inserts engage a selected one of more than one card positioned in more than one slot and the retainer mechanism for performing either simultaneously seating more than one card into or simultaneously extracting more than one card from more than slot.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Karl O. Casserly, Mark L. Monroe, Leung M. Hung, Ronny R. Shipley, Tracy A. Tong, James Verzi

Patent number: 9740980Abstract: A tool and technique are employed to distill and prioritize multiple organizational (sub-system) capabilities based on ranked customer requirements or desires. A translational matrix is employed to organize preferences of the sub-system with respect to the customer requirements or desires. Relative importance scores are input into the matrix to reflect prioritized input versus prioritized capabilities. An adjusted relative importance score of the sub-system is automatically calculated and a resultant re-prioritization of sub-system attributes is created for application to new designs, services, or processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Karl O. Casserly, Bohdan Demczar, Dale E. Hoffman, William P. Kostenko, John G. Torok

Publication number: 20150149239Abstract: A quantitative approach to analytically assess technical elements within a system design. Numerical analysis and sorting is performed across the technical elements. Risk analysis is performed by evaluating criteria and ranking the evaluated criteria. The ranking criteria are placed into groups, with the groups identifying area that will be mitigated against risk.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Karl O.
