Abstract: An adaptable, cleanable beverage container, generally for athletic use, with an enlarged opening at the top for depositing materials and flavors, a removable base for ease of cleaning, and an optionally insertable column removably connected to said removable base for securing a cooling or heating fluid or gel into the container. Optionally, the beverage container walls can be insulated with a hearing or cooling gel or other liquid for providing temperature control.

Abstract: An agent based system assists in preparing an individual for an upcoming meeting by helping him/her retrieve relevant information about the meeting from various sources based on preexisting information in the system. The system obtains input text in character form indicative of the target meeting from a calendar program that includes the time of the meeting. As the time of the meeting approaches, the calendar program is queried to obtain the text of the target event and that information us utilized as input to the agent system. Then, the agent system parses the input meeting text to extract its various components such as title, body, participants, location, time etc. The system also performs pattern matching to identify particular meeting fields in a meeting text.

Abstract: A system, method and article of manufacture for facilitating a user in, or creating for a user, a web-based active knowledge management system to facilitate an intelligent agent coordinator. The architecture facilitates delivery of information whenever and where ever a user requires the information in an appropriate format based on characteristics of the user at that instant. Personalization of information is also afforded by taking into account the history of user interactions with various applications and current real time situations, such a time and place, in order to create a plurality of unique user profile. Each unique profile can then be associated with a unique address, as well as being given restriction exclusive to that profile. Associations, such as business rules or databases, can also be related to each such profile. A fast and scalable information prioritization subsystem is also utilized to incorporate intelligent agents coordinator opinion, user preferences, and history of user interactions.
