  • Patent number: 6748454
    Abstract: A method for extending an event structure including submitting a keyname and a corresponding value for the event structure and determining whether the keyname exists in a keys field array of the event structure. If the keyname does not exist in the keys field array, the method includes incrementing an index of the event structure, adding the keyname to a position in the keys field array based on the index and adding the corresponding value to a position in the values field array based on the index. If the keyname does exist in the keys field array, the method includes determining the position of a previously stored value in the values field array associated with the keyname and replacing the previously stored value in the values field array with the corresponding value.

  • Publication number: 20020124389
    Abstract: A system and method for filling orders and distributing products. Layer quantities of products are picked in bulk, and remaining quantities of less than a full layer quantity needed to fill orders are separately picked from a pick module. Products are distributed from the layer-picking cell and the pick module to selected assembly stations for assembly into orders.

  • Patent number: 6446136
    Abstract: An event management system including an event manager, an alarm rule store, an event correlator, and a response engine. The event manager provides and receives events. The event correlator correlates at least one of the events provided by the event manager based on the alarm rules stored in the alarm rule store. The response engine executes a response policy based on the correlation of events by the event correlator.

  • Patent number: 6366926
    Abstract: A method for routing a subscription request defined by an event filter. The method includes parsing the event filter into an evaluation tree having at least one subexpression, locating the at least one subexpression and determining if the at least one subexpression includes a node specific field. If the at least one subexpression includes a node specific field, the method includes creating a list of nodes and event manager contact information and transmitting the subscription request to at least one event manager located on a node that is included on a list of nodes.

  • Patent number: 6266678
    Abstract: A system for viewing updates to a data file as they occur over time is provided. The system includes a file access client, such as a software package operating on a general purpose computer, that requests dynamic access to the data file. The system also includes a file access server, such as a software package operating on a general purpose computer. The file access server is connected to the file access client, such as through a network, and transmits the initial contents of the data file to the file access client and any data file modifications that occur over time.
