Abstract: A power storage system that uses a plurality of weights, which are raised and lowered in an underground hole, by a motor generator assembly, which is energized to raise the weights thus storing potential energy in the position of the weight, and which recovers energy from lowering the weights as the weights are lowered. A connection assembly, connects between the motor generator and at least one weight; where the connection assembly allows disconnecting a weight from a specific connection assembly, and using the motor generator assembly to raise and lower a different weight once the first weight is disconnected. This enables reusing the moving parts such as the motor generator assembly with multiple different weights.

Abstract: A method for scheduling outbound communications to sales leads based, at least partly, on a model of customer behavior derived from (i) customer data gathered from a plurality of customers that initiated contact with an electronic communications interface, and (ii) time data recording for each of the customers a time or time period at which the customer interacted with the electronic communications interface. The model predicts, for one or more time periods and segments of a population, a likelihood of successfully engaging with a person from the segment of the population. The scheduling includes prioritizing the outbound communications to the sales leads during one or more defined time periods. A method of determining a preferred time to make an outbound communication to a sales lead is based, at least partly, on the model of customer behavior.
