Abstract: Techniques, a system and an article of manufacture for designing integrated enterprise solutions. A method includes aggregating multiple work-products pertaining to solutions submitted in response to one or more previous solution requests, segmenting the multiple work-products into multiple segments based on content category, annotating each of the multiple segments with a tag based on one or more semantic associations with the content of each of the segments, adding each of the segments and each of the tags into a database, performing a search in the database to identify a set of one or more of the segments with at least one tag that corresponds to content of a current solution request, and ranking each of the segments in the set based on a degree of semantic matching with one or more parts of the current solution request.

Abstract: An integral ring which is contains at least 35 weight percent of a precious metal selected from the group consisting of silver and gold and has a porosity of less than 0.1 percent, a Vickers pyramidal hardness of at least about 120, and a tensile strength at least about 60,000 pounds per square inch. The ring has an inner diameter of from about 0.55 to about 0.93 inches, and outer diameter of from about 0.61 to about 1.09 inches, a thickness of from about 0.03 to about 0.08 inches, and a circumference of from about 1.7 to about 3.5 inches. Disposed about and extending around the entire outer surface of the ring is a first annular groove and a second, spaced apart annular groove, and at least 10 adjoining recessed areas are disposed between and communicate with these annular grooves. Each of the first annular groove and the second annular groove has a width of from about 0.01 to about 0.02 inches and a depth of from about 0.008 to about 0.018 inches.
