Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring electronic commerce transactions. A network delay agent, coupled to the access point for the electronic commerce provider's system is operable to send and receive communications to a designated customer's site for measuring network transport latency. Application test latency is also determined. An application monitor agent that is coupled to the electronic commerce provider's access point sends application tests that correspond to tasks performed during a typical electronic commerce transaction, to the electronic commerce provider's system. The time required for the electronic commerce provider's system to perform the indicated tasks and return a response to the application monitor agent is recorded as application test latency. Network transport latency and application test latency are displayed to indicate the delays that are experienced by a user in executing an electronic commerce order.

Abstract: A mold assembly for producing a plurality of contact lenses includes a front curve fixture assembly, a base curve fixture assembly and a plurality of mold cavities. The plurality of mold cavities are defined by a surface on either the front or the base curve fixture assembly and is disposed in a zig-zag manner relative to each other. Each of the plurality of mold cavities includes a retention edge for complimentary engagement with a mold. The retention edge of a first subset of the plurality of mold cavities is spaced apart from a selected fixture mating surface at a first distance and the retention edge of a second subset of the plurality of mold cavities being spaced apart from the selected fixture mating surface at a different second distance so that a plurality of molds may be placed in adjacent cavities so as to overlap the mold flanges.
