  • Patent number: 8352301
    Abstract: A sales notification system and related methods. Implementations include receiving a selection of a target industry identifier and a selection of a product identifier, where each product identifier is associated with a particular product and product category. The method includes generating a list of client accounts associated with the target industry identifier and product identifier where each client account is associated with a particular account segment, generating a list of potential sales representatives by retrieving all sales representatives associated with each client account, and generating a list of eligible sales representatives for each client account where each eligible sales representative is the potential sales representative who is permitted to sell the product associated with the product indicators within the product category and within the account segment associated with each client account.

  • Patent number: 8301757
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for obtaining statistics from the use of a voice application. More particularly, the invention may comprise an interception engine that is configured to receive a document from an IVR application server and inject a marker(s) into the document, and pass the document on to an IVR browser. The interception engine is further configured to receive a response document from the IVR browser, remove the marker results, and pass the document on to the IVR application server. The marker results are used to create statistical information useful in the analysis of the operation of the voice application in the IVR system. In an exemplary embodiment, the markers are used in connection with a map of the call flow of the voice application.

  • Patent number: 8283799
    Abstract: A vent turbine generator. A generator mount is configured to couple to a top portion of a turbine base in turn configured to couple to a vent turbine. A threaded rod is configured to couple the vent turbine to a generator coupled to the generator mount. The rotational ratio of vent turbine to generator is one to one. A multi-device mount couples to the generator mount, partially encloses the generator, and receives a rectifier and inverter. A rectifier housing coupled to the multi-device mount houses the rectifier and has openings for access to the rectifier. An AC power plug couples the inverter to an electrical outlet. The generator, rectifier, inverter and AC power plug are electrically connected. When the vent turbine is rotated the vent turbine generator converts the rotational energy into electricity which is supplied to the building's power grid through the AC power plug plugged into the outlet.

  • Patent number: 8276627
    Abstract: There is provided a golf club cover with a magnetized snap closure that provides a functional but convenient and attractive method for affixing and removing a cover from the head of a golf club, particularly a putter. A golfer need only align the golf club, such as by pointing the tip of a putter head toward the opening in the cover, and then quickly push the club head right through the opening and into an internal cavity of the cover. Two matching arm fasteners are disposed in opposing flaps of the cover. The arm fastener includes a flange portion and a magnet with the magnets serving to maintain the arm fasteners in a generally engaged position. Movement of the club shaft toward the interior of the cover will cause the magnetic snap closure to briefly open so as to allow the shaft to pass through the closure.
