  • ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR GOALS PLATFORMS
    Publication number: 20240095645
    Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

  • Magnetic Latch and Method for Manufacture Thereof
    Publication number: 20100283270
    Abstract: A magnetic latch may include a first magnet assembly and a second magnet assembly. The first magnet assembly may have a plurality of first magnets, the first magnet assembly movable about a substantially linear axis between a first position and a second position. The second magnet assembly may have a plurality of second magnets. In the first position, the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets may be configured such that the first magnet assembly is magnetically attracted to the second magnet assembly when the first magnet assembly is substantially proximate to the second magnet assembly. In the second position, the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets may be configured such that the first magnet assembly is magnetically repelled from the second magnet assembly when the first magnet assembly is substantially proximate to the second magnet assembly.

  • Apparatus to facilitate functional shock and vibration testing of device connections and related method
    Publication number: 20080036468
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated method are disclosed for facilitating the testing of device connections, including functional shock and vibration testing of peripheral card slots or any other desired connector interface. In part, a power supply located on the peripheral device, or some other external power source, is used to power fault detection circuitry. In this way, faults can be identified, such as through visual fault indicators, without the necessity of powering the system. In addition, simulated peripheral cards are provided that include adjustable weights so that the weight distribution of an actual card can be simulated without the necessity of having a functional peripheral in hand.
