Publication number: 20080024285Abstract: A method and system for customizing vehicle interior sounds and other indicia associated with vehicle accessories and events. The method enables a vehicle operator to selectively associate a particular sound with a particular event by selecting a desired sound and associating it with a particular event whereby emission of the desired sound occurs upon occurrence of the particular event to notify the vehicle operator of the occurrence of the particular event. Accordingly, the present invention enables a vehicle operator to configure and associate specific vehicle notification with particular events. In addition, the present invention provides a method and system whereby the vehicle operator uploads into the system customized sounds and sound bytes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: Kelly Vandenbrink, Alexander Petniunas, David Payne, Melanie Russell, John Pruda

Publication number: 20030060993Abstract: Methods and systems for creating dynamic performance measures (DPMs) for a cement production system. In an embodiment, clinker production and finish mill production can be optimized by aggregating sensor measurements from clinker production and finish mill production processes, and determining measures in the form of DPMs related to the productivity and cost of the clinker production and finish mill production. The DPMs can be provided to a display that can be viewed by manufacturing or other personnel. Control decisions can be made to change the clinker production and/or finish mill production processes while the results of such changes can be reflected in real-time on the DPM displays.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2001Publication date: March 27, 2003Applicant: Invensys Systems, Inc.Inventors: Melanie Russell, Fayyaz Hussain
