System And Method For Configuring And Executing A Flexible Computer Program Comprising Component Structures
US Patent:
6490719, Dec 3, 2002
Filed:
Jul 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/361453
Inventors:
Gary Thomas - Louisville KY 40222
International Classification:
G06F 944
US Classification:
717107
Abstract:
A system and method for configuring and executing a flexible computer program on a data processing system. The present invention introduces a modifiable construct known as a component interface that can be linked to other component interfaces to specify a computer program. The mechanism for linking and unlinking component interfaces is easy to use and can accommodate component interfaces that are only partially specified. This enables specification of a component interface to be deferred, leading to the following useful consequences: i) component interfaces can be used to represent queries with parameters that are not specified until a context is established, and ii) component interfaces can be organized with varying levels of generality. Component interfaces also permit a âdivision of expertiseâ whereby those with expert knowledge may configure application components for use by others. Viewing, modifying, and combining of component interfaces may be performed using a visual component manager.
Vibration Testing On Rotating Machine Components
US Patent:
5553501, Sep 10, 1996
Filed:
Dec 5, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/350217
Inventors:
William T. Gaddis - Palm Beach Gardens FL
Kenneth I. Nelson - Stuart FL
Gary W. Thomas - Louisville KY
Kenneth I. Nelson - Stuart FL
Gary W. Thomas - Louisville KY
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G01M 702
US Classification:
73662
Abstract:
A stack of piezoelectric crystals is placed on a shaft that is rotated to test a component on the shaft. An electrical signal is supplied to the stack, causing the crystals to vibrate, sending vibrations to the component as it spins. The component is enclosed in a vacuum chamber in order to provide a reduced pressure and thereby to reduce the power required to spin the component.
