A safety device tester that verifies the operation of a safety device by identifying the safety device, placing the safety device in a test mode, and recording the operation of the safety device, and then storing the recording data in the cloud.

Safety device inspection

An Incident-centric Mass Notification System ('Incident-centric MNS system') for notifying a plurality of recipients of an Emergency Event is disclosed. The Incident-centric MNS system may include a Mass Notification System ('MNS') Notification Engine, modality corridor (&#x201c;MoCo&#x201d;) dispatcher, and a plurality of modality corridors, wherein each modality corridor of the plurality of modality corridors establishes, for signal communication, a signal path from a plurality of signal paths, between the MNS Notification Engine and a recipient of the plurality of recipients. The MNS Notification Engine is configured to manage MNS Incidents and Notifications and the MoCo dispatcher is configured to select a first modality corridor from the plurality of modality corridors to establish a first signal path from the MNS Notification Engine.

A software architecture as designed is governed. A rules engine tests code for implemented architectural decisions. Deviation from designed architecture is detected by execution of the rules engine. The dashboard generates a graphical or textual representation indicating violations and/or changes in the implemented architecture over time. A dashboard assists in managing implementation of the architecture by indicating deviation or the results of change to coding.

Dashboard for architectural governance

A reading aid is provided for large documents or images on space-constrained touch-sensitive screens of devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). A visual scrolling reference pattern such as a grid is projected over a document during scrolling operations on a touch screen. The scrolling reference pattern correlates information presented in different parts of large documents that are not visible at the same time.

Method and system for overlaying space-constrained display with a reference pattern during document scrolling operations

A software architecture as designed is governed. A rules engine tests code for implemented architectural decisions. Deviation from designed architecture is detected by execution of the rules engine. To create the rules engine, the architecture is broken down into automatically testable architectural decisions. The decisions can be tested, allowing creation and application of the rules engine.
