  • Publication number: 20160321586
    Abstract: A method of automatically selecting tests for execution on a software product includes generating a cost model based on test performance history data that is based on results of past executions of a plurality of tests on the software product, wherein the cost model provides, for each test in the plurality of tests, a first expected monetary cost value associated with executing the test and a second expected monetary cost value associated with skipping execution of the test. The method includes automatically selecting tests in the plurality of tests for future execution based on the first and second expected monetary cost values.

  • Publication number: 20150192420
    Abstract: A follow-me application can be configured to generate a follow-me identifier (ID) that uniquely identifies a particular route traveled by a computing device executing the follow-me application. The follow-me application can also be configured to determine route data for the particular route traveled. The route data characterizes turn-by-turn directions to facilitate travel along the particular route by another computing device.

  • Publication number: 20120143656
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to group aggregation leveraging methods and systems for consumers to buy products from a broker. The broker offers a product to consumers for a first fixed price for a predetermined time period. Once a predetermined number of consumers commit to purchasing the product (i.e., reach a threshold), the consumers receive the same product at a second fixed price wherein the second fixed price is less than the first fixed price. Once the threshold is met, each committed consumer receives an alert from the broker that the consumer will receive the same product at the new reduced price (second fixed price). This process is repeated until the predetermined time period expires or inventory of the product is depleted. Consumers may leverage their collective group buying power by communicating to others that the product is available for the predetermined time period through social media or any other suitable means.

  • Patent number: 7070811
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry blend, used for forming azithromycin tablets by direct compression, comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. This invention also relates to an azithromycin tablet comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet is formed by directly compressing the dry blend, of the present invention, to form said azithromycin tablet. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet, of the present invention, contains a dosage of 250 mgA, 500 mgA or 600 mgA of azithromycin. This invention further relates to an azithromycin tablet which is produced by forming a dry blend of a non-granulated azithromycin form A and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The azithromycin tablet is then formed by directly compressing the dry blend.
