摘要:
The resource management system and method is a solution for balancing or leveling resource utilization in business processes. The solution relies on an analysis model implemented on a computer system with a user interface. A user enters resource capability data, resource requirements data including prioritized tasks and task categories, and a time period for providing dynamic allocation of resources to prioritized tasks within prioritized task categories. The invention makes use of categorization data for analyzing and altering the data within the defined time range or other specified data selection. Using a predefined distribution policy and processing limitations, such as the number of people expected to work during a shift on a given day, the model modifies categorization results to mathematically smooth the peaks and valleys of workload fluctuations in business processes. The results are displayed on the user interface.

A combination lock includes various features that make the lock manipulation-resistant. The lock has a rocker arm with a curved underside section that contacts a roller on a cam that rotates when the lock dial is rotated. The smooth curve and an angled contact portion on the rocker arm causes the force applied to the rocker arm by the roller to be gradual rather than abrupt, ensuring that the contact point between the rocker arm and the roller is unpredictable. The lock may also include various spring-biased relocking devices that are biased away from the travel path of the bolt when the back cover is attached to the housing. The biasing force in the relocking device causes the device to move into the travel path of the bolt when the back cover is displaced or removed, preventing the bolt from moving to an unlocked position. The lock may also include a toothed washer having a trapezoidal tooth and a corresponding trapezoidal notch in a tube in the lock housing to eliminate transfer of rotation from one wheel to another. The trapezoidal shapes eliminate air gaps between the tooth and the notch, tightening the dial span of the lock.

A system and method for defining a schema and sending a query to a similarity search engine to determine a quantitative assessment of the similarity of attributes between an anchor record and one or more target records. The similarity search engine makes a similarity assessment in a single pass through the target records having multiple relationship characteristics. The similarity search engine is a server configuration that communicates with one or more database management systems for providing data persistence, data retrieval and access to user defined functions. The architecture enables search activities to be segmented among multiple remote database management systems for reducing the time required to perform searches. Implementation provisions include a method by which a secure transport driver may be configured for a datasource and a method by which configuration files may be persisted to either filesystem storage or a relational database.

A lock assembly includes a single switch actuated by a cam for monitoring the position of a main bolt and an auxiliary bolt. The main bolt and the auxiliary bolt engage and move the cam between an actuated position and a released position. In the actuated position the cam actuates a switch. Actuation of the switch indicates that the auxiliary bolt is retracted and that the main bolt is extended into a locked position. The main bolt includes a tail that engages a portion of the cam to drive the cam to the actuated position. The switch will remain in the actuated condition when the auxiliary bolt is retracted and the main bolt is also retracted.
