20160071068 | Critical Path Scheduling with Early Finish Sets - Systems, computer-implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for updating a project schedule by automatically generating “earliest finish from a group” relationships between tasks in projects that follow the critical path method. Upon the determination that at least one of the relationships is an earliest finish relationship with a successor task, a forward pass and backward pass for the project schedule may be calculated using the determined earliest finish relationships and ignoring all non-earliest finish relationships within all the earliest finish sets. | 03-10-2016 |
20160098656 | Critical Path Scheduling with Primacy - Systems, computer-implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for updating a project schedule by creating task primacy relationships between tasks in projects that follow the critical path method. Creation of task primacy relationships involves the identification of a primary task and at least one related subordinate task. During the calculation of the forward pass and/or the backward pass, the working calendar of the subordinate task is amended to exclude the working time from the primary task. | 04-07-2016 |

20160140482 | Critical Path Scheduling with Drag and Pull - Systems, computer-implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for calculating drag and pull metrics in a multi-calendar schedule. A driving relationship is a relationship that determines the start date of its successor (task). Driving relationships are identified during schedule calculation. Driving successor paths, consisting of a path of tasks and relationships where each relationship is a driving relationship, are identified. Post schedule calculation, drag and pull are calculated for any driving paths in the schedule by iteratively recalculating the schedule (forward pass—early start, early finish) while incrementing the duration of each task on the driving path (one task at a time) one time unit per iteration (starting from zero and working up to the task's original duration) and measuring the effect on the end (early finish of the last task) of its successor driving path. | 05-19-2016 |

20120211977 | QUICK CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - The quick connector assembly includes an insertion member that is inserted along a longitudinal axis into a receiving member. A retaining member is disposed in the receiving member for movement in a direction of insertion that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A positioning member is disposed in the receiving member and includes a biasing portion that extends angularly from a base portion to a pair of blocking portions. The blocking portions move between an extended position and a retracted position and are oriented opposite the direction of insertion of the retaining member to block the retaining member from moving into a fully inserted position when the biasing portion is in the extended position. An annular collar of the insertion member engages the blocking portions when the insertion member is axially inserted in the receiving member to move the blocking portions into the retracted position. As a result, the retaining member is free to be moved into the fully inserted position to secure the insertion member relative to receiving member. | 08-23-2012 |
