  • Patent number: 12573143
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying stormwater management opportunities in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for identifying stormwater management opportunities comprises gathering spatial data for a region; rasterizing the spatial data into a set of raster data layers; forming a plurality of benefit maps using subsets of the set of raster data layers, wherein the plurality of benefit maps corresponds to a plurality of benefit categories; generating an opportunity map by combining a subset of the plurality of benefit maps using weights corresponding to the plurality of benefit categories; and displaying the opportunity map on a user interface.

  • Patent number: 9792079
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating workflows for printing systems. The system includes a memory that stores requirements for sequencing each of multiple activities available at a print shop into workflows. The system also includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) able to graphically present a workflow. The workflow includes an ordered subset of the activities to perform for processing a print job. The GUI is further able to graphically present the available activities, and to enable a user to drag the available activities onto the workflow to alter the workflow. The system also includes a processing system able to detect an activity being dragged by a user, to determine locations in the workflow where requirements for the activity are met, and to operate the GUI to highlight the determined locations.

  • Publication number: 20140240745
    Abstract: Methods and systems resume workflow processing of a print job at intermediate steps of a print workflow. In one embodiment, a control system initiates processing of a print job based on steps in a print workflow, where the steps identify print shop activities to perform for the print job. The control system identifies an error in executing a step of the workflow, and identifies an intermediate step in the workflow that has executed in processing the print job. The control system identifies an updated file for the print job to correct the error, and resumes the processing of the print job at the intermediate step using the update file.

  • Patent number: 4845736
    Abstract: The invention comprises an improved cross-connect switch constructed from a plurality of switch modules for connecting input lines to output lines. The improved switch includes a test access system in which selected input or output lines of the cross-connect switch are utilized as test ports. The switch utilizes computer algorithms to make connections between a test port and one of the switch modules through which a path connecting specified input and output lines passes to make a bridging connection to the path.
