Abstract: A text communication management system is provided that receives, analyzes, and enforces recipient actions regarding phone-based text communications. The text communication management system can obtain recipient action data regarding a recipient's action with respect to a particular text communication, and enforce the recipient action with respect to future text communications. The management system can also or alternatively analyze the recipient action data in connection with recipient action data from multiple other recipients to generate a model for use in determining whether future phone-based text communications should be permitted, determining the likelihood that such communications will cause recipients to opt-out, and the like.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring environmental state that includes a structure element with a base substrate and at least one reflector element integrated to the base substrate, wherein the reflector element is physically configured with at least one response signature that is discretely expressed based on an substance induced environmental condition of the reflector element; and a remote monitor device comprising a transmitter and receiver unit and a controller, wherein the monitor device is configured to interrogate the structure element; detect a response signature corresponding to at least the one reflector element; and map the response signature to a corresponding substance induced environmental condition.

Abstract: A system and method of load balancing using fuzzy logic and, more particularly, to a system and method of load balancing tasks over a grid environment including, for example, CPU utilization, traffic over a network and other functions. The method comprises defining cause and effect relations associated with input variables and output variables. A current utilization is assessed. The method further includes determining which cause and effect relations are associated with the current utilization and calculating a weighted balancing factor for the cause and effect relations having membership with the utilization. A load is balanced using the weighted balancing factor.
