  • Patent number: 8428982
    Abstract: A performance monitoring system receives data from one or more data sources. It transforms the received data into the performance information relating to predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); and stores it into a KPI store. The system also calculates scores based on the received data and the performance information stored in the KPI store. Thus, the system can indicate changes in the KPIs through an information presentation unit.

  • Patent number: 7870016
    Abstract: A report management system is provided for creating reports to be used by a business intelligence tool that generates instances of reports including information retrieved from one or more underlying data sources. The report management system has an interactive modeling user interface for receiving user inputs and presenting options for management of reports, a content group manager for manipulation of definition of content groups in response to user inputs through the modeling user interface, a measure assignment manager for managing assignment of measures to the content groups in response to user inputs through the modeling user interface, and a report assembler for assembling reports for the content groups based on information of the measures assigned to the content groups.

  • Patent number: 7720804
    Abstract: A data warehouse solution system comprises a metadata model, a user interface and an engine. The metadata model has an information needs model including metadata regarding information needs for building reports by users, and a data information model including metadata describing data that is available for building reports. The user interface has a customer user interface for presenting the information needs model to the users for report generation, and a modeling user interface for presenting the data information model to the users for manipulating data warehouse objects. The engine has a report management service unit for providing report management service using the information needs model, and a data management service unit for providing data management service including generation of a data warehouse using the data information model.

  • Patent number: 7169116
    Abstract: An actuation system for a bodily fluid extraction device includes a detector cap, at least one vibration sensor connected to the detector cap, and at least one signal processing unit in communication with the vibration sensor. In addition, the signal processing unit is configured to receive an output signal from the vibration sensor, analyze the received output signal, and to send an actuation signal to the bodily fluid extraction device based on the analysis of the received output signal.
