  • Publication number: 20150295798
    Abstract: A universal reporting solution system for a dimensional data associated with a worksite management system is provided. The universal reporting solution system includes a receiving module coupled to a categorization module. The categorization module is configured to form independent metrics and derives additional metrics. The categorization module buckets the dimensional data within independent metrics and combines the bucketed dimensional data to obtain reporting information. The reporting information is further utilized to generate reports independent of an entity with which the reporting information is associated.

  • Publication number: 20150106139
    Abstract: An integrated reporting system for a dimensional data associated with a worksite management system is provided. The integrated reporting system includes an extraction and transformation module configured to connect to a plurality of sources. The extraction and transformation module is configured to identify a source data from each of the plurality of sources. The extraction and transformation module is also configured to perform a transformation on the source data to convert the source data into a target data based on the identification. The target data includes a derived result. The extraction and transformation module is further configured to store the derived result into a target database. The integrated reporting system includes a reporting module operatively connected to the target database, wherein the reporting module is configured to generate reports based on the derived result.

  • Patent number: 7472971
    Abstract: A media center for housing audio-video equipment and displaying a video display includes a cabinet for housing electronic components, a display panel or column, and an adjustable attachment. The display panel defines a cavity for routing wires of the electronic components. The cabinet is movably attached to the display panel via the adjustable attachment, and is movable relative to the display panel between a use position, where the rear portion of the cabinet is substantially abutted against the display panel, and a service position, where the rear portion of the cabinet is at least partially spaced from the display panel for accessing the wires of the electronic components. The display panel may be supported on a channel member that defines a routing cavity therealong for routing wires of the electronic components.

  • Publication number: 20020121121
    Abstract: Continuous extrusion apparatus for the production of copper tubing having a rotatable wheel formed with a plurality of circumferential grooves registering with (as shown in FIG. 1) abutments 4 formed on a die top 2. Respective exit apertures 6 each have a cross-sectional area of between two and five times the radial cross-section of the associated groove and lead to a passage 8 smoothly diverging to connect into an extrusion die chamber 10 housing an annular extrusion die (not shown). The appartus produces an extrudate in the form of a continuous, seamless, copper tube having a mass in excess of 500 kilograms extruded at a temperature of approximately 750 degrees Celsius.

  • Patent number: 5157955
    Abstract: Continuous extrusion apparatus (FIG. 1) including a rotatable, grooved, wheel 2 is provided with a shoe 6 mounted on a pivot 7 to be rotatable between a position engaging the wheel 2 and a dis-engaged position. The shoe 6 carries a tooling cartridge 10 including an abutment block 14, an expansion block 16, a die block 18 and an exit block 20 connected together with bolts 22 and held in position by locking keys 46 and a retaining ring 50. A reciprocable ram 60 registers with the cartridge 10 when the shoe 6 is in the dis-engaged position and is operable to raise a cartridge 10 from an associated heating chamber 56 into the shoe 6 or to lower a cartridge 10 from the shoe 6 into a storage chamber (not shown). By utilizing a cartridge 10, change-over and pre-heating of sets of dies is facilitated, enabling the apparatus to be connected directly to a continuous casting furnace (not shown).

  • Patent number: 5152163
    Abstract: Apparatus for the continuous extrusion of metals in which feed is introduced into two (or more) speed apart circumferential grooves in a rotating wheel (or rotating wheels) to contact an arcuate shoe portion and abutments extending into the grooves. The feed is constrained by the abutments to flow through frusto-conical exit apertures of cone angles in the range of 5.degree.-45.degree. in the shoe portion to a chamber which may also be of the divergent frusto-conical form, and is extruded as relatively thin-walled, large-cross-section products. Mixer plates are profiled to distribute flow evenly from the apertures to around the die opening. An extrusion die body for cylindrical extrusions is located and axially centered by set screws. Where an even number of grooves are utilized, an extrusion mandrel may be secured to the shoe portion by a bolt positioned centrally of the grooves and having a passage for injection of lubricant or oxidation inhibiting fluids.
