  • Patent number: 10315265
    Abstract: A worktable for a soldering iron a base plate with two fixed plates perpendicularly extending from the top thereof. At least one of the two fixed plates has a first locking member and a first notch. A movable plate is movably located between the two fixed plates for securing a larger part. The movable plate has a second notch for securing small part. An adjustment member rotatably extends through the two fixed plates and the movable plate to adjust a fitting distance for the solder parts. An axle is connected across the two fixed plates and carries a soldering wire roll thereto. A soldering iron seat is located beside one of the two fixed plates for receiving the soldering iron therein.

  • Patent number: 7853467
    Abstract: In accordance with a method of managing work flow, tasks associated with a telecommunications service order from a plurality of worklists of computing source systems are merged into a merged worklist. Each computing source system maintains a respective worklist that includes a task associated with the service order. The tasks of the service order in the merged worklist are prioritized into a prioritized sequence to be completed on a work-when-ready basis. An error in completion of a task associated with a worklist of a source system is detected and a new task to correct the detected error is generated. Further, the worklist of the source system associated with the detected error is updated with the new task and the new task is integrated into a proper position of the prioritized sequence in the merged worklist in accordance with the work-when-ready basis.

  • Patent number: 7689447
    Abstract: A method and system of managing work flow in provisioning service orders is provided, particularly telecommunications service delivery orders, where each service order may include of tasks from different worklists from different sources. The method includes merging the worklists and prioritizing tasks in accordance with work-when-ready work flow. The merged worklist provides an end-to-end view on a graphical user interface of all tasks pending to provision each service order. A change of status of a task results in automatically updating both the native and merged worklists. When a task is completed on the native system, the task is automatically deleted from both worklists. Selected search criteria and sorting fields may be used to narrow the displayed results. New tasks created by exceptions are inserted appropriately into the active worklist. The method eliminates the need for a user to log onto different systems to manually prioritize tasks.

  • Patent number: 7293826
    Abstract: A folding chair includes first and second parts each having at least one leg, a total number legs of the first and second parts being at least three. A third part of the chair forms a seat and is pivotally connected to the first and second parts. A connecting assembly for pivotally connecting the first part to the second part is a piston assembly having a top end and a bottom end. The top end is pivotally connected to the first part to form a pivot at which the first part pivots relative to the second part between an open position and a closed position. The bottom end is connected to the second part. The connection between the top end and the first part forms the only physical connection between the first and second parts to eliminate cutting dangers to the user.
