Abstract: A punch item management tool may be provided that coordinates and guides the process of taking a punch item from creation to completion. As one possibility, the punch item management tool may coordinate and guide the interactions between a creator of a punch item, a punch item manager for the punch item, and one or more assignees that are expected to perform work on the punch item. As another possibility, the punch item management tool may coordinate and guide the interactions between an individual serving the dual role of creator and punch item manager for a punch item and one or more assignees that are expected to perform work on the punch item. In either case, the punch item management tool may provide a user interface including various views through which these individuals may interact with one or more punch items.

Abstract: A computing system such as a back-end platform for construction management software may employ a predictive model to provide individuals responsible for overseeing a construction project with a prediction of a “risk level” for a punch item, which indicates a risk of the punch item not being completed by the punch item's target completion date. Such a predictive model may be defined based on historical-punch-items data. After defining the predictive model, the computing system may receive data defining a given punch item and input such data into the predictive model, which may in turn output a given predicted risk level for the given punch item. Thereafter, the computing system may cause a client station to display an indication of the given predicted risk level for the given punch item.

Abstract: Architectures and methods for viewing data in multiple formats within a register file. Various disclosed embodiments allow a plurality of consecutive registers within one register file to appear to be temporarily transposed by one instruction, such that each transposed register contains one byte or word from multiple consecutive registers. A program can arbitrarily reorganize the bytes within a register by swapping the value stored in any byte within the register with the value stored in any other byte within the same register. Indirect register access is also provided, without additional scoreboarding hardware, as an apparent move from one register to another. The functionality of a hardware data FIFO at the I/O is also provided, without the power consumption of register-to-register transfers. However, the size of the FIFO can be changed under program control.

Abstract: This discloses a water ski rope safety device. Water ski ropes can become disconnected from the tow boat. They can also become loose or gain excessive slack. In such cases, the rope can whip around or entangle the skier. Any of these might injure the skier. The safety device prevents such a disconnected or loose rope from entangling or striking the skier. The device consists of a flexible sleeve into which the rope is contained along with other components which accomplish the purpose.

Abstract: The write-access control line for an RTC is combined with a clear line for an RTC signature register, so that changes to the RTC will cause subsequent reads to return an invalidity flag.

Abstract: A distributed data store employs replica placement techniques in which a number k hash functions are used to compute k potential locations for a data item. A number r of the k locations are chosen for storing replicas. These replica placement techniques provide a system designer with the freedom to choose r from k, are structured in that they are determined by a straightforward functional form, and are diffuse such that the replicas of the items on one server are scattered over many other servers. The resulting storage system exhibits excellent storage balance and request load balance in the presence of incremental system expansions, server failures, and load changes. Data items may be created, read, and updated or otherwise modified.
