Abstract: Compositions containing calcium citrate malate wherein the calcium citrate malate exhibits one or more of: a pore area of at least about 30 m2/g; a dissolution rate of at least about 95% by weight of the calcium citrate malate in less than about 120 seconds.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate attempts to ensure that electronic devices are properly and currently configured with correct information stored on electronically writable/readable digital data storage media are provided including a direct linkage between the media as the mechanism used to electronically configure the electronic device and physical product identification labeling that may be properly viewed from outside the electronic device when the media is inserted in the electronic device. Particular components that are traditionally separately provided, e.g., SIM cards and device identification labeling are combined in a unique packaging and delivery system to combine configuration update electronically readable/writable digital data storage media and physical product identification in a single unique package.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for composite and symmetrical hybrid electronic connectors. Embodiments may include a composite electronic connector 1702 having a set of signals 2402, being divisible into multiple subconnectors 1802, each having a subset of the signals 2404/2408, a harness 204 that combines the subconnectors 1802, distribution 2508 of the set of signals 2402 to the subsets of the signals 2404/2408, a symmetrical electronic connector 208, being connectable in more than one orientation, a tongue 210 within the symmetrical connector 208 having more than one contacting surface 902/1002, each having a set of contacts 404/408, mapping 2512 of the signals 2402 to the contacts 404/408 so as to achieve a correct connection independent of the orientation of the symmetrical connector 208, a cable 106 between the composite connector 1702 and the symmetrical connector 208, and switching 2518 of a power signal 2402-5 on and off.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a computer to transform and present data gathered from respondents to electronic surveys and to evaluate preferences related to digital two dimensional and three dimensional images. The method includes receiving computational results for an electronic survey in the form of data files, which include one or more cluster scores for clusters identified in an image presented in the electronic survey. The computational results are transformed for presentation on a graphical user interface. The method provides a summary of the computational results for all images viewed in the survey and detailed survey results for selected images from the survey. The method further provides formatting options for presentation of the computational results, with the formatting options including mode selection, cluster selection, and data display adjustment. The final formatted computational results are presented on the graphical user interface for review by an operator.

Abstract: Methods for interactive and social delivery of customer service are provided. In one example, a method includes the steps of generating a customer service portal and displaying a customer service agent profile including an agent characteristic associated with a customer service agent in the customer service portal. The method includes the additional steps of receiving a customer service selection associated with the customer service agent and generating a customer service request based on the customer service selection.

Abstract: Methods for creating, arranging, and leveraging an ad-hoc collection of organization components are provided. In one example, a method includes the steps of receiving a support request and identifying an organization process associated with the support request. The method includes the additional steps of identifying an organization member associated with the identified organization process and displaying a list of organization members with the highest ranking expertise in the identified organization process.

Abstract: Methods for arranging and presenting information according to a strategic organization hierarchy are described. A method for arranging and presenting information according to a strategic organization hierarchy includes the steps of receiving organization information comprising a plurality of organization components, arranging the organization information into an organization hierarchy, and displaying at least a portion of the organization hierarchy in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for integrated social media, strategy, and organizational hierarchy are described. A method for integrated social media, strategy, and organizational hierarchy includes the steps of receiving information associated with organization members, the information including a name and an email address of each organization member. The information is arranged into an organization hierarchy, a format for presenting the organization hierarchy is determined, and the organization hierarchy is presented in a graphical user interface according to the determined format.

Abstract: A microfluidic system includes a microfluidic device; and a metered fluid loading system formed integrally with the microfluidic device and configured to load a discrete metered volume of fluid into the microfluidic device upon actuation.
