Abstract: A mail piece insertion mechanism is provided and, more particularly, mail piece insertion mechanisms and methods used for inserting mail pieces such as, for example, residual mail, into individual mail piece folders or containers is provided. The method of inserting mail pieces into folders includes opening the folders and aligning a mechanism with the opened folders and inserting the mail pieces therein. The insertion mechanism includes a mechanism configured open folders and a mechanism configured to insert mail pieces into the open folders.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a facility wide sorting and/or sequencing system for improving product processing operations and, more particularly, to a facility wide system and related functionality for simultaneously sorting and sequencing mixed mail pieces such as, for example, flats and letter mail pieces. The flats and letter mail pieces are placed in frames so that all types of mail pieces can be sorted and/or sequenced simultaneously through merging and diverting a stream of filled trays into and out of different streams at a full or substantially full transport speed.

Abstract: A system for providing a hierarchical project technical evaluation tool is provided. The system includes an application for obtaining technical assessment data for work products of a project and storing the technical assessment data to a data repository. A hierarchical project evaluation tool application generates a project technical status based on the assessment data in the data repository. The system also includes a file importation and conversion device in communication with the data repository, the file importation and conversion device converts data files to a useable format within the hierarchical project evaluation tool application. The system further includes a project integrated master schedule in communication with the file importation and conversion device, that provides data to the data repository for use with the hierarchical project evaluation tool application.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for monitoring, tracking and/or coordinating the movement of items and/or equipment aboard a vessel. More particularly, a system and method is provided for controlling material flow, planning, reporting, scheduling, and inventory tracking of items throughout a vessel. The system comprises a computer infrastructure configured to receive item identification from remote sources and provide transporting instructions based on the item identification and predetermined criteria to operators for movement of cargo within a vessel. The system also includes at least one external device configured to at least receive the transporting instructions from the computer infrastructure.

Abstract: A system is provided to display the technical status of a program and provide quick access to the program information. The system may include milestone views, links to work products and schedule data, links to templates, specification, requirements, review criteria, links to event maturity criteria, and displays of technical maturity assessments. The system may be provided at an enterprise level in HTML form to access criteria for tailoring individual programs. The system may be downloadable to a program server from an enterprise server to provide the foregoing capabilities. The system may be configured to import specific program information from program master schedules in order to populate milestone views, assessment views, and search engines. The system may be configured to provide access control with user privileges, defined for each user.

Abstract: An information management system for a device network is disclosed. The information management system may include a service requester node, a monitoring node, and a service provider node. The system may include a service oriented request message including a message header, having a list of destination nodes, including the service provider node, to which the service oriented request message is addressed, and a service request. The system may include a routing module disposed in the monitoring node and configured to analyze the list of destination nodes in the message, create a modified message including at least one child node selected from the service provider nodes based on a fan-out of the device network, and forward the modified message to the at least one child node, the modified message including a message header, having an updated list of one or more destination nodes, including the service provider nodes, to which the modified message is addressed, and the service request.

Abstract: A graphical mark-up language authoring system using drag and drop placement of symbols representing mark-up language elements on a computer screen drawing and connecting the blocks by lines representing data and control flow to create a mark-up language sequence design. The symbols are instances of a mark-up language element that include the properties and attributes of that element. The system also includes a mark-up language view of the elements and their attributes and properties. The system permits effective authoring of mark-up language sequences by users not expert in mark-up language sequence design.
