20140309970 | MANAGING A MODEL HAVING AN OBJECT CYCLE - A model-management system includes a cycles map generator, object registry generator and runtime code generator. The cycles map generator is configured to create a cycles map that, for a cycle in an information model having a plurality of objects, identifies a non-dominant association of a second or later object to a first object. The object registry generator is configured to create an object registry map. And the runtime code generator is configured to generate an instantiable information model and object registry based on the information model and maps. Generation of the instantiable information model includes generation of a plurality of instantiable objects including a second/later instantiable object that, for the non-dominant association, includes an object qualifier that identifies a referenced object for the first object to be instantiated through the object registry, instead of a contained first instantiable object to be instantiated from within the second/later instantiable object. | 10-16-2014 |
20150019187 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF A FAILURE - A failure-effect validation system includes an effects modeler configured to develop a cumulative effects model for failure modes of the complex system, and by which a model of the complex system is extendible to form an extended complex-system model. The effects modeler is also configured to develop search targets each of which includes logical expressions of notable hazards and other factors that contribute to the cumulative effects, such as crew workload, safety margin and/or physiological effects. A model analysis system is configured to perform an automated analysis using the extended complex-system model and search targets, and in which the automated analysis includes a graph search of possible states of the extended complex-system model to locate search targets. And the effects assessment system is configured to selectively generate a layout of failure analysis data including at least a portion of the extended complex-system model and results of the automated analysis. | 01-15-2015 |

20130339795 | Failure Analysis Validation And Visualization - A system is provided for integrating failure data for different failure analysis layouts. The system includes a data validator and layout engine. The data validator is configured to validate failure analysis data for a complex system including a plurality of systems. The failure analysis data includes failure data identifying failed systems, and design data describing the complex system and possible failures of at least some of its systems. In this regard, the data validator is configured to perform one or more consistency checks between the failure data and design data to thereby integrate the failure data for a plurality of different failure analysis layouts. The layout engine is in turn configured to selectively generate and communicate any one or more of the plurality of different layouts of the failure analysis data, with at least some of the failure analysis data being shared between at least some of the different layouts. | 12-19-2013 |

20140250398 | ENHANCED CANVAS ENVIRONMENTS - Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating enhanced canvas presentation environments. In an implementation, a user interacts with a touch-enabled display system capable of displaying items on a canvas. In response to a gesture made by the user with respect to an item being displayed, a format-specific interaction model is identified based on a format associated with the item. A response to the gesture may then be determined using the interaction model and the response rendered for display. | 09-04-2014 |
20140250413 | ENHANCED PRESENTATION ENVIRONMENTS - Implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods, and software for enhanced presentations. In at least one implementation, motion information is generated that is associated with motion of a subject captured in three dimensions from a top view perspective of the subject. A control is identified based at least in part on the motion information and a presentation of information is rendered based at least in part on the control. | 09-04-2014 |

20150158576 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO COOPERATIVELY LIFT A PAYLOAD - Methods and apparatus to cooperatively lift a payload are disclosed. An example method to control a lift vehicle includes determining a first positional state of the lift vehicle with respect to a payload controlled by a plurality of lift vehicles including the lift vehicle, determining a second positional state of the lift vehicle with respect to a goal location, detecting distances to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles, determining a third positional state of the lift vehicle based on the distances to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles, and calculating a control command to control the lift vehicle based on the first positional state, the second positional state, and the third positional state. | 06-11-2015 |
20150323647 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE A POSITION USING LIGHT SOURCES - Methods and apparatus to determine a position using light sources are disclosed. An example method includes processing an output of a photodetector based on anticipated codes to identify multiple light sources from which the photodetector receives light at a first position, determining locations of the identified light sources; and determining a location of the first position based on the locations of the identified light sources. | 11-12-2015 |
20150346724 | VARIABLY CONTROLLED GROUND VEHICLE - Method and apparatus for providing autonomous control of a vehicle. A vehicle can be manually controlled by an operator. An autonomous system can monitor the operator's control inputs and the environment of the vehicle to determine whether the control inputs result in safe operation of the vehicle. If control inputs are not safe, then the autonomous system can modify the operator's unsafe inputs into safe inputs. In various instances, the autonomous system can operate the vehicle without operator input. In the event an operator attempts to apply control inputs to the vehicle while the autonomous system is otherwise in control, the autonomous system can check to see whether the operator's inputs result in safe operation of the vehicle. If the operator's control inputs are safe, then the autonomous system can replace its autonomous commands with the operator's commands. | 12-03-2015 |
