Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of monitoring an environment comprising: monitoring at least one data stream wherein the data stream is a data stream in the environment; detecting a specified event from the data stream; and triggering a response to the specified event. Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for monitoring an environment comprising: a receiver adapted to receive at least one input data stream wherein the input data stream is a data stream in the environment; an active listener/observer system adapted to monitor the data stream; and an interface adapted to express at least one output stream. Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable medium having instructions comprising: an active listener/observer routine configured to monitor at least one data stream; a detection routine configured to find specified events in the data stream; and an output routine configured to express a response event.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and system for gathering feedback regarding clinical software features and/or functionality in a virtual market model. Certain embodiments include allowing one or more authorized users to submit one or more clinical software items for trading in a virtual market; facilitating trading of the one or more clinical software items by one or more authorized users via the virtual market; and generating feedback regarding the one or more clinical software items based on trading data. Certain embodiments include a virtual market facilitating trading of one or more clinical software items by one or more users and a user interface allowing a user to submit one or more software items for trading via the virtual market and allowing a user to trade shares of one or more clinical software items to indicate an opinion regarding one or more clinical software items.

Abstract: A system and method for maintenance management for a given field asset is provided. The system comprises a portable computing device disposed on the field asset and adapted to store the complete maintenance history, service instructions, and related technical information for the given field asset and further adapted to retrieve at least one of a plurality of maintenance information corresponding to the given field asset and a communication network coupled to the portable computing device and to at least one source of maintenance information to provide updates to at least one of a plurality of maintenance information for use in servicing the given field asset.

Abstract: A method and system for creating three-dimensional models comprises the steps of generating a three-dimensional object model from a plurality of digital images of an object, creating three-dimensional coordinates from the plurality of images, identifying coordinates on a CAD model of a part which correspond to the three-dimensional coordinates, calculating a transformation matrix between the three-dimensional coordinates and the coordinates on the CAD model, and applying the transformation matrix to the CAD model to position, scale, and orient the CAD model in the object model, thus creating a composite model.

Abstract: An analytical method for determining a cable occupancy volume includes obtaining a cable length and identifying a number and location of a plurality of cable supports for supporting the cable along its length. The cable occupancy volume that is generated is based on the cable length, the number of supports and the location of the supports. The instructions for practicing the method are encoded on a computer-readable storage medium.
