Abstract: A switch controller, where the switch controller includes a processor that is configured to: receive a multicast packet from a sender, where the multicast packet includes a header and a payload, determine that an attempt to forward the multicast packet through one or more ports fails for at least one of the one or more ports, determine that a header-forwarding bit in the header is set, and send the header of the multicast packet to the sender.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an asphalt blend can include asphalt, a first polymer additive, and carbon black. The blend can be mixed with filler to prepare a filled asphalt mix. The blends and mixes may have a particular softening point or penetration at 115° F. that may provide improved performance or durability.

Abstract: A headset for use in delivering electrical stimulation to the skin surface of the head or in sensing one or more body parameters of the head of a user.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an asphalt blend can include asphalt, a first polymer additive, and ground tire rubber having a mesh size greater than 80 mesh. The blend can be mixed with filler to prepare a filled asphalt mix. The blends and mixes may have a particular softening point or penetration at 115° F. that may provide improved performance or durability.

Abstract: A method and system may select an interaction involving an agent, sending the selected interaction and a computerized form to the agent and an evaluator, simultaneously or concurrently, displaying to the evaluator and agent screens defined by the form, each screen including an evaluation question, accepting from the agent, for each evaluation question, an agent answer having associated with the agent answer a rating, accepting from the evaluator a submission indicating that the evaluator has completed the computerized evaluation form, accepting from the agent a submission indicating that the agent has completed the computerized evaluation form, summing an agent rating from the ratings associated with the agent answers provided by the agent, summing an evaluator rating from the ratings associated with evaluator answers provided by the evaluator, and calculating a variance from the agent rating and evaluator rating.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating bot performance, including collecting, by a processor, bot performance data items, wherein the collecting includes directly collecting bot performance data items; and calculating bot performance data items based on collected bot performance metrics; producing a bot performance output including bot performance data items; and assessing the bot performance output. Assessment of the bot performance output may initiate bot quality management, wherein the bot quality management includes, assessing the bot update recommendations. Assessment of the bot update recommendations may result in initiating bot update.

Abstract: A system for generating electricity by pyrolyzing organic materials and feeding the pyrolysis fluid to a battery of fuel-cells. The system includes a pyrolysis reactor receiving organic materials and producing pyrolysis fluid. The fluid pyrolysis is then separated into a plurality of sub-mixtures, each provided via a respective separator output. A plurality of fuel-cell devices for generating electricity using different technologies are each coupled to a respective separator output. A controller controls the pyrolysis reactor, the separator device, and the plurality of fuel-cell devices according to a signal representing a demand for electric power, a signal representing cost of operating at least one of the pyrolysis reactor and the fuel-cell generator, and a signal representing minimum price of electric power.

Abstract: A method for determining treatment parameter values for transdermal neurostimulation treatments applied on a user's scalp comprises setting a first set of treatment parameter values for a first electrode-array engaged with a first portion of the user's scalp for administering electrical pulses thereto, for example according to a correlation that includes a direct relationship between at least one parameter value of said first set of treatment parameter values and a corresponding at least one parameter value of a set of user-specific sensory-threshold parameter values; and setting a second set of treatment parameter values for a second electrode-array engaged with a second portion of the user's scalp for administering electrical pulses thereto, according to another correlation that includes another direct relationship between at least one parameter value of said second set of treatment parameter values and said at least one parameter value of said first set of treatment parameter values.
