Methods can comprise determining availability of one or more devices to output audio and determining a location of the one or more available devices. Audio information can be received and at least a portion of the audio information can be configured to generate assigned audio information based on the determined location of the available devices. The assigned audio information can be transmitted to the available devices.

Abstract: Methods and means for evaluating and summarizing physical quality metrics associated with stretch films and other plastics are provided. According to one aspect of the invention, a processor- or computer-enabled business method such as a software program or mobile application capable of calculating and comparing stretch film data and conveying easily understood summaries of film characteristics and cost impacts associated therewith is provided. According to a second aspect, the system and method provides a vast plurality of film performance metrics, costs factor, environmental impacts, and so, calculated and presented in a dashboard-type user interface.

Abstract: A washing appliance for efficient and through cleaning of medical devices and methods of using the appliance are disclosed. The appliance can clean exteriors of medical devices, and lumens of devices comprising a lumen such as cathlab devices.

Abstract: Protective eyewear comprising a pair of eye pieces, each defining one of two opposing inner lateral surfaces spaced by a nose bridge. At least one of the inner lateral surfaces comprises a slot for slidably and releasably engaging a locating rib provided on said nose bridge. Said slot comprises a slot locking element and said nose bridge comprises a nose bridge locking element. In a use configuration with the locating rib of the nose bridge engaged within the slot, the slot locking element and the nose bridge locking element cooperate within said slot to releasably secure the locating rib within the slot.

Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating same-day delivery services with an online retailer platform are disclosed. Graphical user interfaces are displayed on a retailer website for browsing and selecting items for purchase. Delivery options are provided including those for same-day delivery. A delivery service can provide available schedule delivery timeframes to be displayed on a GUI of the retailer website. A customer selects a delivery window for delivery of items selected for same-day delivery. The delivery windows are communicated through an integration API. Features presented to the customer during a shopping experience from item selection to checkout can be seamlessly presented to the user from both the retailer and the delivery service. Payment can be managed by the retailer rather than passed through the delivery service.

Abstract: Cyclic aspiration system including an aspiration catheter and a cyclic aspiration source connected in fluid communication thereto, wherein the cyclic aspiration pressure source produces a cyclic aspiration pressure waveform of intermittently cycling intervals of a vacuum pressure below atmospheric pressure and a positive pressure higher than the vacuum pressure. The system further including a non-powered internal structural impediment disposed within the lumen of the aspiration catheter and configured to engage with a clot capturable therein during resulting movement between the clot and the non-powered internal structural impediment while subject to the cyclic aspiration pressure waveform to assist in capture of the clot. The non-powered internal structural impediment may be permanently attached to the aspiration catheter or a separate component or device independently slidable within the lumen of the aspiration catheter.

Abstract: A washing appliance for efficient and through cleaning of medical devices and methods of using the appliance are disclosed. The appliance can clean exteriors of medical devices, and lumens of devices comprising a lumen such as cathlab devices.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a basketball training device comprising a blocking module secured to a retaining element, in which the blocking module and the retaining element are configured such that the blocking module extends from the chest of a wearer and is adapted to impede the wearer from moving a basketball ball into a defensive hand zone of the wearer.

Abstract: A contact center system can track and evaluate dialogue data, telephony data, and/or application usage data associated with communication sessions between customers and representatives. The contact center system can identify communication sessions that have dialogue data containing keywords of one or more keyword categories, such as keyword categories associated with perceptions of high customer effort, and/or based on values of other key performance indicators. Users can use the contact center system to investigate the dialogue data, telephony data, and/or application usage data for identified communication sessions, for example to identify opportunities to train representatives to use alternate language during communication sessions, revise procedures in the contact center, or otherwise reduce perceptions of customer effort.
