Publication number: 20140345360Abstract: In an apparatus for determining the level of dynamic force required to cause damage to an electronic device, the electronic device may be placed beneath a ram assembly of a dynamic impact testing device. The dynamic impact testing device has a selection of a plurality of different types of tip members, which may be retained by an attachment portion of the ram assembly. The ram assembly is reciprocally movable relative to a base portion with a target area. The ram assembly being positioned relative to said base portion so that said tip portion can impact said target area when the tip member is mounted to said attachment portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Jake Edward Klein, Ronald Robert Madsen

Patent number: 8833138Abstract: In a method and apparatus for determining the level of dynamic force required to cause damage to an electronic device, the electronic device may be placed beneath a ram assembly of a dynamic impact testing device. Thereafter, the ram assembly may be used to impact the electronic device to determine a threshold level of dynamic force that will cause damage to the electronic device. The ram assembly may then be used to impact a load cell with the threshold level of dynamic force so that the load cell generates a data output.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Jake Edward Klein, Ronald Robert Madsen

Publication number: 20070174460Abstract: Discloses are a method of and system for allocating resources in an enterprise. The method comprises the steps of identifying a number of areas of the enterprise that need resources, and determining an initial allocation of resources to each of said areas. The method comprises the further steps of establishing an algorithm to assign weights to said initial allocations, using said algorithm to determine weighted allocations of resources for each of said areas, and keeping said weighted allocations for a given time period. As resources become available during said defined time period, said available resources are assigned to said areas based on said weighted allocations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Bangel, Gregory Feeney, William Houston, Robert Madsen, James Martin

Publication number: 20070055671Abstract: A method and system for updating, from a client computing unit, a data record of a database. Initial and target statuses of the data record are obtained. A list of identifiers is automatically determined to identify actions in a sequence that, when executed, updates the data record from the initial status to the target status. Each action is pre-programmed in and executable by a database management system managing the database. The client computing unit receives an e-mail that includes a selectable object and the list of identifiers. The selectable object is selected at the client computing unit without utilizing a database view. In response to selecting the object, the identifiers are retrieved to identify the actions in the sequence, and the actions are automatically executed in the sequence to update the data record from the initial status to the target status.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Matthew Bangel, Robert Madsen, Renee Mullins

Publication number: 20070055705Abstract: System, method and computer program product for creating, managing, and accessing an information repository including a source database and an archive database. A source database and the archive database are defined to a same schema. A user terminal presents a common user interface for accessing the source database and the archive database. A timed archive agent, an end user archive agent, and a criteria based archive agent archive source data from the source database as archive data to the archive database. A criteria based restore agent and an end user restore agent are provided to restore archive data from the archive database as source data to the source database. An integrated functions agent assembles compiled data from source data and archive data and present the compiled data to the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Bangel, Robert Madsen, James Martin

Publication number: 20070006034Abstract: Under the present invention, when an error condition for the computer system is identified, settings for a series of demographical factors of the computer system are determined. These settings are compared to settings for the demographical factors during at least one previous instance of the error condition to identify a similar error scenario. Then any corrective actions that were taken to address the at least one previous instance of the error conditions are determined and possibly used to resolve the current error condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Bangel, Robert Madsen, James Martin, Douglas Murray

Publication number: 20060253485Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for identifying data synchronization problems between data in different databases. The method includes: providing first and second databases containing common data; generating a summary of the common data as present in the first database; generating a summary of the common data as present in the second database; determining at least one delta value for the common data between the first and second databases; and generating an analysis view displaying the summary of the common data as present in the first database, the summary of the common data as present in the second database, and the at least one delta value for the common data between the first and second databases.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Bangel, Gregory Feeney, Robert Madsen, James Martin

Publication number: 20060224635Abstract: Under the present invention, a set of files (e.g., two ASCII files) is imported. The files identify the users that are being re-assigned, as well as the business units involved with the reassignment. Information is extracted from the set of files and used to locate affected documents in a set of databases. Once located, the documents are automatically updated to reflect the reassignment of the users.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Bangel, Gregory Feeney, Robert Madsen, James Martin, Renee Mullins

Patent number: 6116880Abstract: A spinner head provides for the production of melt-spun product. The spinner head includes a base and a cover spaced from the base. A plurality of discrete spaced apart elongate heating elements are positioned between the base and the cover and define a chamber for accommodating feedstock material therein. An elongate generally annular housing having plural circumferentially spaced cylindrical passages extending therethrough is positionable over the heating elements. The housing defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced fins projecting radially inward. Each of the fins have tapered sidewalls which generally converge as the fin extends radially inward. The sidewalls of adjacent fins cooperate to define longitudinal radially-directed slots between the cylindrical passages so as to permit passage of the feedstock material therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1998Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Fuisz Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Beuford A.
