  • Patent number: 8090611
    Abstract: A facility is described for enabling workflow applications. The facility receives a request to identify an optimized resource list that identifies resources capable of performing a workflow process task. The workflow process task can be associated with a document type relating to a document associated with a workflow envelope. The workflow envelope can store multiple documents of at different document types. The facility includes a workflow engine and a simulation engine. The workflow engine performs workflow process tasks based on the tasks identified in the workflow envelope. The simulation engine can employ modeling and historical data from a workflow metrics data source to generate the optimized resource list and identify identifying resources matching the workflow process tasks identified in the workflow envelope.

  • Patent number: 5499729
    Abstract: An infant feeding bottle that is nipple-equipped at one end that is further equipped with a pressure equalizing apertured diaphragm member at the opposite end. The diaphragm member allows room air to pass therethrough into the air space in the bottle when the bottle is inclined and liquid is withdrawn through the nipple, thereby equalizing the interior air pressure. The diaphragm member is gas and liquid tight when the inside and outside pressures are equal and the bottle is in an upright configuration with the feeding liquid resting on the diaphragm member. The diaphragm member has a central portion which is dome configured and provided with apertures that are in a sealed shut configuration when the diaphragm member is relaxed yet that are opened when the diaphragm member is expanded responsive to differential air pressure.
