  • Publication number: 20240095157
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for administering web management software. A system may access alert data describing a plurality of alerts generated by a cloud-implemented web management software and apply a set of problem code conditions to the alert data. Based on the applying of the set of problem code conditions to the alert data, the system may assign a first problem code to the first alert. The system may determine a risk score for the web management software based at least in part on a problem state for the web management software, where the problem state comprises at least the first problem code. The system may determine that the risk score for the web management software matches a threshold condition and send a problem message to a user computing device associated with a user, the problem message describing a problem state of the web management software.

  • Patent number: 7374797
    Abstract: A system and method for the continuous fabrication of bichromal spheres by introducing continuous streams of differently colored, pigmented polymer melts to substantially opposite sides of a plurality of spinning disks. The system comprises a first and second extruder which melts a raw polymer material and mixes the melted polymer with a pigment and optionally a charge control agent. The first and second extruders are connected to substantially opposite sides of a plurality of spinning disks with optionally interconnected gear pumps and mixing devices. The instant system and method is useful in fabricating large quantities of bichromal spheres in a continuous manner with a higher degree of uniformity in their physical characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7232533
    Abstract: The bichromal element spinner apparatus provides the forming of substantially spherical bichromal elements from pigmented molten, but hardenable material compounds which are delivered centrally to a spinning webbed disk through opposite ends of hollow shaft that also spins with the disk. The molten materials are injected into cavities formed between the shaft and the web portions of the disk such that the molten materials are spun outwardly on the opposite surfaces of the disk towards the tip of the disk, where the hardenable materials adhere to each other without mixing, thereby spinning off to bichromal elements. Shrouds attached to the shaft and having no intervening support members over the spinning disk provide quiescent air mass between the disk and the shrouds so as to yield bichromal elements with substantial hemispherical integrity.

  • Publication number: 20030154063
    Abstract: Start and stop signals are obtained from a user, with associated start and stop times, as well as circuit simulation results. The simulation results are utilized to determine which of the components in the circuit are active components, which are any components that have an active output signal. Active output signals obtain a state between the start and stop times in response to a state change of the start signal. The user output equipment is utilized to provide the active components and the active output signals to the user. Signal activity is presented in a graphical form that shows the active path circuit, and active value changes that cause output signals to become active. The user may select time values at which signals become active to see in a graphical manner the propagation of a start signal state change through the circuit.
