Abstract: Systems, methods, and software applications for enabling the collaboration on a project plan are described in the present disclosure. A computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. According to one embodiment, among many, the computer readable medium includes logic adapted to enable a member of a project team to submit a proposal for modifying a current project plan to a project manager. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to enable the project manager to accept or reject the proposal for modifying the current project plan. Various team members make changes to a single shared copy of the project plan.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relate generally to updating a project plan in accordance with an input. A user may have a limited set of privileges to update the project plan compared to a manager. The manager may provide a threshold value relating to a type of change that may be made to a master version project plan. Next, the user may access the master project plan, and provide an input relating to a proposed change. From the change, a change value may be derived, and the change value may be compared to the threshold value to determine whether the change value violates the threshold value. If the change value violates the threshold value, a change exception may be generated, and the manager may be notified that the proposed change requires review. If the change value does not violate the threshold value, then the master project plan may be immediately updated.

Abstract: A system provides document collaboration for a plurality of users. The system divides a central document into a plurality of sections. The system then assigns edit rights for a user for one or more sections, and read-only rights for the user for one or more sections. The system then generates a customized document for the user that includes the edit rights sections and the read-only rights sections.

Abstract: A project systems integrator integrates a financial planning system and an operational planning system for a project. The integrator loads a work breakdown structure (“WBS”) from the financial planning system and another WBS from the operational planning system. The integrator then records links between corresponding nodes of the financial WBS and operational WBS. When data is entered, updated, or otherwise changed, the data is propagated between the nodes in accordance with the links.

Abstract: A method of producing uniform motion, vibration-free spur gears useful in rotary processes includes determining gearmesh frequency and its (m) multiples and comparing each to a corresponding (k) multiple of the process frequency. Gear designs with non-matching (m) and (k) multiples are selectable for analysis as to load bearing capability and conformance with predetermined contact ratios.
