Abstract: A Portfolio and Project Management and new product development system is disclosed. In particular, the system in one embodiment includes a user, a user computing device, a client application, an operating system, a network interface, a server, a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform, applications such as contact lists, documents, mail, etc., project management software which contains various views and sub-views, and sets of rules and criteria that interact with the project management software to manage the project management software output. In particular, the system of the present invention provides additional intelligence for customizing project management solutions for environments that use structured development methodologies, such as a stage and checkpoint process.

Abstract: A method for finding a desired location in a digital map whose locations are indicated with reference to a first coordinate system, includes the steps of determining a second coordinate system which is indicated with reference to the first coordinate system; determining coordinate data of the desired location with reference to the second coordinate system; finding the second coordinate system in the digital map; and finding the desired location in the first digital map by entering the coordinate data of the desired location in the second coordinate system.

Abstract: A vehicle data bus system includes locating means which comprise a locating computing unit and a locating sensor system which contains at least one GPS receiver with associated GPS antenna and gyro data acquisition means, and a data bus via which connects a plurality of bus users in data communication with one another. The locating means contain a locating module which is embodied as one of the bus users and is configured to receive at least wheel speed data and forward/backward direction of travel data via the data bus, to acquire at least vehicle position data, direction of travel angle data, travel speed data and altitude position data as well as to output this acquired data onto the data bus. For this purpose, the locating module contains the location computing unit, the GPS receiver and a gyroscope or means for the bus-end reception and evaluation of gyro data of a travel dynamics/traction control system.
