Abstract: An approach for enabling a service provider to dispatch workforce for fulfilling a plurality of service requests based on a common property identifier is described. A workforce dispatch platform determines a property identifier associated with a customer based on a service request. A determination is then made as to whether the property identifier corresponds to one or more property identifiers corresponding to a plurality of other service requests. The workforce dispatch platform generates workflow information for dispatch of workforce to satisfy the request and the other requests based on the determination.

Abstract: The problem of high test cost of manufactured goods can be partially solved by lowering the percentage of the goods to be tested methodically while keeping the total defective portion of the goods expressed in DPPM below a preset target value. The method includes identifying a first test that is capable of screening out enough parts that would fail a second test so that the portion of the parts to be tested second test can be reduced. The number of parts screened out by the first test determines if the reduced testing scheme would violate the preset DPPM target value.

Abstract: According to some aspects, a method of creating and negotiating a voucher is provided. The method comprises receiving from a first user an identification of an offer and criteria for terms of a voucher associated with the offer, presenting to a second user an identification of the offer, receiving from the second user a first proposal for terms of the voucher, and sending a response to the second user based on a comparison of the first proposal with the criteria for terms of the voucher. When the first proposal meets the criteria for terms of the voucher, the response comprises an indication that the first proposal is accepted, otherwise the response comprises a second proposal. Some aspects include a system for performing the above method and some aspects include a computer readable medium storing instructions that perform the above method when executed by at least one processor.

Abstract: Merger and duplicate resolution for contact information across platforms is managed employing contact objects and aggregating the contact objects into contact models. Contact data from internal and/or external data stores may be retrieved and contact objects created for each contact from each contact store. A contact model for each contact entity may be created by aggregating contact data from contact objects across the contact stores. The aggregation may include duplicate resolution through weighting of communication system types, ranking of contact information type, and similar approaches. The contact models may be dynamically updated based on changes to the contact objects.

Abstract: A backup and restore system may present recovered backup data as local resources and in a read and write manner so that the recovered backup data may be accessed using an application that created the data. In some embodiments, the recovered data may be read only data, but a differencing virtual hard disk (VHD), Common Internet File System protocol, or differencing driver may be used to present a read/write version of the data. Additionally, the data may be presented using iSCSI or other technologies to present the data as local data, even though the data may be remotely located. The backup and restore system may additionally use VHD differencing technologies to create multiple backups.

For example, a method of inducing social interaction among users of an electronic communication network includes: receiving a first behavioral profile representing one or more schedule items of a first user; receiving a second behavioral profile representing one or more schedule items of a second user; identifying a time-slot in which the first and second users are available according to the first and second behavioral profiles, respectively, and identifying a common activity-of-interest reflected in the first and second behavioral profiles; and sending to the first and second users invitations to engage in said activity-of-interest in said time-slot.

Abstract: A regression-based residual echo suppression (RES) system and process for suppressing the portion of the microphone signal corresponding to a playback of a speaker audio signal that was not suppressed by an acoustic echo canceller (AEC). In general, a prescribed regression technique is used between a prescribed spectral attribute of multiple past and present, fixed-length, periods (e.g., frames) of the speaker signal and the same spectral attribute of a current period (e.g., frame) of the echo residual in the output of the AEC. This automatically takes into consideration the correlation between the time periods of the speaker signal. The parameters of the regression can be easily tracked using adaptive methods. Multiple applications of RES can be used to produce better results and this system and process can be applied to stereo-RES as well.
