  • Patent number: 7155419
    Abstract: An agreement management system for organizing information around agreements and chains of agreements. The system includes an agreement database and notes database for storing agreements and information directly related to those agreements. The system further includes a set of forms for use in negotiating an agreement, modifying an existing agreement and managing the performance of an existing agreement. The system supports agreement chains which permit the linking of pairs of agreements such that the customer of one of the linked agreements is a supplier to a customer of another of the linked agreements. Templates that permit the simple reuse of agreement chains are also supported by the system. A number of ancillary databases, such as a contacts database, a correspondence database, a folders database, a reminders database and a notebook database give the system the flexibility to record additional information both related to the agreements and unrelated to the agreements.

  • Patent number: 5337473
    Abstract: A work station table wherein inventory articles to be integrated into a product are placed on the table, with each type of article being located next to one of a plurality of detector cards set in the table (one type of article per card). Each detector card is capable of detecting movement, and when an operator reaches across a detector card to retrieve the inventory article located next to that sensor, the movement of his or her hand or selected article is detected by the sensor. The movement causes a light emitting diode (LED) in the detector card to light, thereby indicating that the inventory article corresponding to that detector card has been selected. The table further includes an accumulator card having an LED display and numbers corresponding to each of the detector cards. In addition to registering at each of the sensors, retrieval of an article from a particular inventory point will cause a corresponding number to light on the accumulator card.
