  • Patent number: 11995595
    Abstract: Embodiments maintain historical activity information for a plurality of entity records. Each historical activity record includes a sequence-number that reflects a temporal position of the represented activity instance relative to other activity instances that targeted the corresponding entity. Based on this historical activity information, embodiments generate marginal value matrices (MVMs) that show the historical effectiveness of activities. Specifically, each entity is assigned to a bucket based on an associated entity score. An MVM charts a marginal value for each combination of bucket index and sequence-number, where the marginal value at each combination of bucket index and sequence-number is the average of the activity result values of the historical activity records, for entities assigned to the bucket index, having the sequence-number. Embodiments use MVMs to predict marginal values for activities targeted to each current entity of the salesperson.

  • Patent number: 9293282
    Abstract: A moving seal for an air circuit breaker provides an arc creepage surface that is positioned between a pair of separable contact assemblies when the moving seal is fit into an inlet of the arc chamber. The arc creepage surface has a surface contour that increases a length of an arc travel path between the separable contact assemblies, relative to a straight line distance between of separable contact assemblies.

  • Patent number: 5964382
    Abstract: A flexible cylindrical body tube adapted to sealingly engage a beer bottle at one end and mounting a side-venting hose of a length selected to extend into the beer bottle and down into the bottle to a position adjacent the bottom of the bottle. When so placed, the bottle and hose may be inverted with a finger placed over the vent hose, the open end of the body tube brought to the mouth, the bottle and tube inverted and the finger removed, resulting in rapid continuous discharge of the fluid from the bottle into the mouth of the user.
