Patent number: 10152687Abstract: Building and maintaining an accurate and up-to-date inventory of applications deployed throughout an organization are described. In one aspect, an application directory facilitates automated and standardized entry of information on an application. The application directory provides a series of browser-rendered interfaces that collects data about the application. These different types of data are organized according to a logical data model that defines multiple hierarchical levels of data types and relationships amongst the hierarchical levels. The collection of registered applications forms an inventory that may be used to manage these assets. In another aspect, the application directory allows authorized users to manage the inventory of applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2006Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLCInventors: Perry Fotinatos, James M. Bessette, Melvin Lew, Syed Husain

Patent number: 9646284Abstract: Building and maintaining an accurate and up-to-date global inventory of hardware, software, and telecommunications assets deployed throughout an organization is described. A global inventory warehouse (GIW) receives an identification and physical location of these assets from multiple source systems. Some of these source systems contain information pertaining to the assets that has been manually entered into the source system by a human administrator. Other source systems, meanwhile, contain information that has been automatically collected by the source systems without human intervention. The GIW receives this information from the source systems and stores it within a GIW database. The GIW database may thus contain a global inventory of all or nearly all of the hardware, software, and telecommunications assets distributed throughout the organization. This database may also contain an identification of physical locations within the organization of all or substantially all of these assets.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Goldman, Sachs & Co.Inventors: Melvin Lew, Syed Husain, Perry Fotinatos

Publication number: 20090070237Abstract: Reconciling corresponding data reported by multiple data sources and pertaining to hardware, software, and telecommunications assets distributed throughout an organization is described. In one aspect, a reconciliation framework receives data maintained by a first data source and pertaining to a portion of the hardware, software, and telecommunications assets distributed throughout the organization. The reconciliation framework then also receives data maintained by a second data source and pertaining to the portion of the hardware, software, and telecommunications assets distributed throughout the organization. The reconciliation framework then compares the data maintained by the first data source to the data maintained by the second data source effective to determine differences between the data maintained by the first data source and the data maintained by the second data source.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: Goldman Sachs& Co.Inventors: Melvin Lew, Syed Husain, Perry Fotinatos, John Woschinko

Patent number: 5853022Abstract: A valve actuator with an instrument mounting pad and a manifold in a power module and yoke combination for mounting a valve controller instrument without tubing or mounting brackets. A cover encloses the feedback linkage between the actuator and instrument. The actuator includes a second instrument mounting pad and manifold so the power module is reversible to accommodate fail-safe opened or fail-safe closed valve conditions. A valve actuator and instrument combination is no higher than the actuator alone.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1996Date of Patent: December 29, 1998Assignee: Fisher Controls International, Inc.Inventors: Philip Wayne Eggleston, Steven Burl Paullus, Danny Paul Nelson, Kenneth Lemoyne Rasmussen, Randy Jerold Hall, Melvin Lew Osgood
