ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,411,671, issued on Sept. 9.
"Software systems and methods for advanced output-affecting linear pathways" was invented by Kevin D. Howard (Mesa, Ariz.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Unlike conventional or otherwise known decomposition methods like standard functional decomposition, time-affecting linear pathway (TALP) decomposition, or output-affecting linear pathways (OALPs) from the decomposition of TALPs, advanced output-affecting linear pathway (A-OALP) decomposition from algorithms separate the output variables of each execution pathway such that there is only one output variable per A-OALP, converting an algorithm into a set of pro...
