  • Publication number: 20240168973
    Abstract: Technologies for object social network analysis and modification to improve achievement of an identified goal include analyzing, by a processing device, a structure of data in a database complex and determining a context of the data. Additionally, the method includes identifying, by the processing device and based on the analysis, relationships between objects represented in the data that enable or restrict achievement of a goal. The relationships between the objects establish an object social network. The method also includes modifying, based on an analysis of subsequent data produced from the execution of a process to achieve the goal, the object social network to increase the achievement of the goal.

  • Patent number: 11921751
    Abstract: Technologies for data capture and data analysis include a system having a knowledge repository in which all input data is stored as objects and relationships between objects, and each object represents at least one container of one or more properties. The knowledge repository is capable of storing the input data according to more than one storage format. The system may also include a user interface providing an input mechanism to obtain the input data, object information that defines one or more of the properties, and relationship information that defines one or more of the relationships. The system includes a controller configured to receive the input data, the object information, and the relationship information from the user interface and to cause the input data to be stored in the knowledge repository as at least one object based on the object information and the relationship information.

  • Patent number: 11116344
    Abstract: An ergonomic modular ergonomic multi-layer platform with a synthetic tapered marginal border including a non-compressible wood base covered with at least one compressible mat disposed between the wood base and a top non-slip mat to provide occupational workers with a therapeutic, forgiving work surface to protect them from the health risks of working, walking and standing on a concrete floor or common anti-fatigue mat used in many factories today. The therapy platform is raised off the floor to offer suspension, thus promoting a spring effect for absorbing and returning compression force resulting in reduced stress loads and compression force for people who work, walk or stand fort extended periods of time. The therapy platform is modular in design so that the tapered borders of separate modular sections connect for a snug fit. The vertical edges of the wood sections also have connection points that provide a leveling effect and further enhance the fit of the module sections.

  • Patent number: 10891310
    Abstract: A system for knowledge capture and discovery that overcomes the disadvantages of prior art solutions. In an embodiment, data is stored in at least one storage device as a plurality of objects and relationships between the plurality of objects where the relationships between the plurality of objects establish an object social network. Root cause analysis is performed on at least a portion of the object social network to identify a potential causal relationship between a first object of the plurality of objects and a second object of the plurality of objects. Thereafter, the object social network is modified based on the potential causal relationship between the first object and the second object. At least one of the first and second objects may be representative of a plurality of other objects.

  • Patent number: 9792347
    Abstract: A system for knowledge capture and discovery comprises a knowledge repository in which all input data is stored as objects and relationships between objects, and which input data may be stored according to more than one storage format. At least two hierarchical user interfaces provide input mechanisms to obtain the input data, object information concerning the input data and relationship information concerning the input data, thereby permitting end user applications to be developed. A controller receives the input data, object information and relationship information from the at least two hierarchical user interfaces and causes the input data to be stored in the knowledge repository as an object based on the object information and the relationship information.

  • Patent number: 9746874
    Abstract: An industrial symmetric pedal control system is provided which allows for ergonomically favorable operation by paired reciprocal control pedals which mirror an operator's right and left limbs. The reciprocal mirror control pedals allow operation of the same predetermined function within designated machinery by either the left or right foot of an operator, thus reducing fatigue while maintaining proper position at a particular workstation. Also included in the system is an ergonomically designed floor mat to provide the operator with more comfort and less fatigue while operating machinery.

  • Patent number: 9727424
    Abstract: The System Integrity Guardian can protect any type of object and repairs and restores the system back to its original state of integrity. The Client component is the user interface for administering the System Integrity Guardian environment. An administrator can determine which servers to protect, which objects to protect, and what actions will be taken when an event that breaches integrity occurs. The Monitor Agent component is the watchdog of the System Integrity Guardian that captures and addresses any event that occurs on any object being protected. The Server component includes the server and the Protected Object Central Repository. The authoritative copies are maintained, digital signatures are created and stored, objects are validated, and communication between the three units is performed.

  • Patent number: 9700165
    Abstract: A work mat on which a worker stands while operating a machine for comfort and for the purpose of easing of physical stress caused by standing on a non-compressible floor during a work day. The work mat includes a wooden platform with a peripheral synthetic border which tapers from the floor up to the top edge of the wooden platform. In addition, the synthetic border extends inward about one half inch under the peripheral edge of the wooden platform, thereby elevating the wooden platform above the floor. The wooden platform is therefore suspended over the floor and can flex up and down as a user walks on or stands on the mat, thereby absorbing some of the shock of walking and moving on the floor. The compressibility of the wooden platform adds to the comfort of the work mat as well.
