摘要:
A method is disclosed for enabling a user interface on a computer operated by a user to cause memory content of an electronic device distinct from the computer to be modified. A communication link may be established between the user interface and the electronic device by establishing a first connection between the user interface and a server distinct from each of the computer and the electronic device, and establishing a second connection between the electronic device and the server. The user interface may be used to communicate with the server via the first connection so as to cause the server to communicate with the electronic device via the second connection and thereby cause new information to be added to the memory of the electronic device via the second connection.

A process for optimizing maintenance work schedules for at least one engine includes the steps of retrieving at least one set of data for an engine from a computer readable storage medium; selecting at least one scheduling parameter for the engine; selecting a set of maintenance rules for the engine; selecting at least one maintenance work decision; selecting at least one objective for the engine; optimizing the at least one objective to generate at least one optimal maintenance work decision; and generating at least one optimal maintenance work schedule for the engine.
摘要:
An internet based system for conducting self-assessment and self-improvement inquiries, including expert and peer evaluations, advisement, and support within the context of an internet based dynamic and interactive online community designed to further the self-assessment and self-improvement process by providing users with computer based self-assessment and self-improvement tests utilizing a dynamic flash based “video-game-like” interface and, then providing the results to be used within that interactive online community to further the self-improvement process by the participation in an internet-based online community in which the user is matched with actual online resources with aptitudes and preferences as determined by the results of the directed self-assessment. Said results may also be used to match vocational and avocational aptitudes with the potential employers and mentors of the social community.
摘要:
An apparatus for accurately measuring a variety of objects of disparate shape, having a substantially flat plate-like stationary member fixed to a base member and second, substantially flat plate-like movable member facing the surface of the first member and mounted for movement toward and away from the first member. The opposing plate-like surfaces of the first and second members are maintained substantially in parallel with each other and are dimensioned to make contact with the outermost surface part of an object to be measured in a given orientation of the object. Means are provided for accurately measuring the distance between the plate-like surfaces when an object is placed between the first and second members. The movable member is normally biased for movement toward the fixed member.
