  • Patent number: 8924434
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating comparing or juxtaposing characteristics or attributes of human resources of an enterprise. The example method includes displaying one or more representations of one or more human resources and providing various user options. A first user option enables a user to add a representation of a human resource to a shortlist. A second user option enables a user to initiate a comparison operation based one or more user selected human resources chosen from the shortlist. In a more specific embodiment, the comparison operation results in display of a comparison view that juxtaposes various attributes of human resources being compared. Example attributes include numbers of keyword matches appearing in human resource profiles, availability scores, locations, billing rates, qualification scores, and so on.

  • Patent number: 8838585
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating determining and displaying search results and accompanying scores in an enterprise computing environment. The example method includes receiving a resource request that includes one or more search criteria. The one or more search criteria includes a specification of one or more keywords and one or more resource qualifications. The method further includes determining, based on the search criteria, a qualification score for each resource indicated in a database of resources; using the qualification score to determine search results responsive to the resource request; and displaying each search result proximate to a qualification score. In a specific embodiment, the method further includes calculating the qualification score by combining components of the qualification score according to an algorithm. The components of the qualification score include a competency component and a keyword component.

  • Patent number: 8589386
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating displaying search results in an enterprise computing environment. An example method includes determining results of a computer based search in response to a resource request; displaying the results via one or more cards, wherein each of the one or more cards includes information pertaining to a particular search result; and illustrating, in a card, at least a portion of the information via one or more graphics. In a specific embodiment, the one or more graphics include one or more visually coded graphics, including an indicator illustrating a qualification score associated with a human resource, and an indicator illustrating an availability score associated with the human resource.

  • Publication number: 20050045315
    Abstract: A concentric tube heat exchanger comprises an outer tube and a concentric inner tube, with an annular passageway between the tubes. The ends of the annular passageway are sealed by sealing members having axially extending inner and outer walls which are connected to one another and which are sealed to the respective outer and inner tubes. The sealing member walls are preferably connected by an integrally formed connecting wall. The walls of the sealing member are preferably resilient and diverge so as to form a friction fit with the tubes during assembly of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger further comprises a turbulizer which comprises a plurality of rows of corrugations defining axially extending flow passages. Preferably, the corrugations have a top land width greater than a bottom land width so that the side walls of the corrugation are radially arranged in the annular passageway.
