Apparatus and method for tracking and managing physical assets

InactiveUS6952680B1Maximize productivityReduce operating cost and administrative burdenHand manipulated computer devicesForecastingComputer basedRemote analysis
A computer based system automatically gathers, analyzes, and delivers information relating to the procurement and utilization of a plurality of such assets, such as a fleet of industrial equipment, so as to maximize productivity and to reduce operating costs and administrative burdens. Each of the assets is preferably provided with a data acquisition device for sensing and storing one or more operating characteristics associated therewith. That information can be transmitted through space to a receiver connected to a local controller for storing such information and for transmitting such information to a remote analysis system. The remote analysis system automatically updates individual records associated with each of the assets with the information received. In response to such information, the remote analysis system automatically analyzes the newly provided information and schedules maintenance as required. Information associated with the maintenance is also recorded electronically to maximize efficiency, provide historical trends, automate billing, and control inventory levels.

System and method for managing mobile workers

A computer implemented system and method for managing mobile workers in an object oriented programming environment is disclosed. A plurality of target objects that correspond to facilities assets to be worked on by a mobile worker are classified within a database of the computer. The attributes of each target object are defined, including a task to be performed on each target object. Mobile workers are scheduled for the tasks to be performed on target objects by running a rule engine to determine the algorithms and heuristics to be used to schedule mobile workers for the tasks to be performed. The scheduled jobs are then output to the mobile workers.

A computer based system automatically gathers, analyzes, and delivers information relating to the procurement and utilization of a plurality of such assets, such as a fleet of industrial equipment, so as to maximize productivity and to reduce operating costs and administrative burdens. Each of the assets is preferably provided with a data acquisition device for sensing and storing one or more operating characteristics associated therewith. That information can be transmitted through space to a receiver connected to a local controller for storing such information and for transmitting such information over the internet to a remote analysis system. The remote analysis system automatically updates individual records associated with each of the assets with the information received from the internet. In response to such information, the remote analysis system automatically analyzes the newly provided information and generates reports regarding scheduled maintenance, warranty coverage, and other management information. These reports can be transmitted back over the internet to an administrative controller for review by one or more persons responsible for managerial review. Additionally or alternatively, the remote analysis system can automatically post such reports on a website and, thus, be made available to one or more of such persons upon request.

Method and device for generating voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone during communication wait

Voice / text / image commercial information generating method and device during a communication is on wait. The method includes the steps of: checking a telephone call, connecting with a commercial information ringback tone generating system / device at an originating or a receiving communication system when the call is detected, beginning to transmit a commercial information in forms of voice / text / image instead of the original ringback tone or a guide message to an originating telephone from the commercial information ringback tone generating system during a communication wait, requesting a connection to a receiving telephone from the commercial information ringback tone generating system after an A-timeout lapses, continuously transmitting the commercial information to the originating telephone, checking whether the receiving telephone accepts the connection request, stopping the providing of the commercial information ringback tone if the telephone connection is made, connecting a communication line between the originating and the receiving telephones, checking whether the communication is finished, and disconnecting the communication line if the communication finishes.

Quality Evaluation Method for Single Crystal Ingot

The inventive quality evaluation method for a single crystal ingot generally includes a step of determining cropping and sampling positions and a step of evaluating a sample. The step of determining cropping and sampling positions includes: (a) inputting basic information on the decision of cropping, sampling and prime positions according to equipments and products, (b) predetermining the cropping, sampling and prime positions according to the basic information, (c) monitoring a growing process of a growing ingot and analyzing / storing X factors related with the growing process of the growing ingot, and (d) determining the cropping and sampling positions based on the X factors related with the growing process.
