A determination can be made of how changes to underlying data affect the value of objects. Examples of applications are: caching dynamic Web pages; client-server applications whereby a server sending objects (which are changing all the time) to multiple clients can track which versions are sent to which clients and how obsolete the versions are; and any situation where it is necessary to maintain and uniquely identify several versions of objects, update obsolete objects, quantitatively assess how different two versions of the same object are, and / or maintain consistency among a set of objects. A directed graph called an object dependence graph, may be used to represent the data dependencies between objects. Another aspect is constructing and maintaining objects to associate changes in remote data with cached objects. If data in a remote data source changes, database change notifications are used to "trigger" a dynamic rebuild of associated objects. Thus, obsolete objects can be dynamically replaced with fresh objects. The objects can be complex objects, such as dynamic Web pages or compound-complex objects, and the data can be underlying data in a database. The update can include either: storing a new version of the object in the cache; or deleting an object from the cache. Caches on multiple servers can also be synchronized with the data in a single common database. Updated information, whether new pages or delete orders, can be broadcast to a set of server nodes, permitting many systems to simultaneously benefit from the advantages of prefetching and providing a high degree of scaleability.

A method is disclosed for determining and displaying risk information in response to a plurality of input data, the input data including a plurality of input data calculation results, comprising the steps of: comparing each calculation result of the plurality of input data calculation results of the input data with each logical expression of a plurality of logical expressions; ranking by the logical expression the calculation result; and generating a plurality of ranked individual risks in response to the ranking step, each of the plurality of ranked individual risks representing an input data calculation result that has been ranked by the logical expression as having either a high risk severity or a medium risk severity or a low risk severity; generating the risk information in response to the plurality of ranked individual risks; and displaying the risk information, the displaying step including displaying the risk information on a risk information display.

A Software System, known as an Automatic Well Planning Risk Assessment Software System, is adapted to determine and display risk information in response to a plurality of input data by: receiving the plurality of input data, the input data including a plurality of input data calculation results; comparing each calculation result of the plurality of input data calculation results with each logical expression of a plurality of logical expressions; ranking by the logical expression the calculation result; and generating a plurality of ranked risk values in response thereto, each of the plurality of ranked risk values representing an input data calculation result that has been ranked by the logical expression as either a high risk or a medium risk or a low risk; generating the risk information in response to the plurality of ranked risk values; and displaying the risk information.

A method and apparatus for performing witness card statistical analysis using image processing techniques to quickly and efficiently generate as-sprayed performance statistics for a spray device, or spray, based upon a comprehensive analysis of as-sprayed witness card stains. Calibration and as-sprayed witness cards are scanned to produce images that are processed using image processing techniques to identify stain areas / dimensions. Calibration stain data is associated with known calibration droplet volumes and used to generate a set of calibration equations that model an observed relationship between the area of calibration stains upon a witness card and the volume of the respective fluid droplets that produced the stains. As-sprayed stain area / dimension information is processed using the developed calibration equations to approximate the volume of as-sprayed droplets. The approach provides a direct quantitative assessment of spray device performance based upon a comprehensive assessment of as-sprayed witness cards, resulting in highly accurate, timely spray device performance statistics.

This invention relates to a hard landing indication system that will provide a quantitative assessment that a hard landing did or did not occur at the last landing of an airplane. A hard landing can cause structural damage to an airplane. An airplane that has been declared to have a hard landing must be grounded until an inspection of the structure has been made to determine if repairs are required.
