Abstract: A removal tool for a screw-on canister filter comprising a plurality of a tooth and side apertures. The tooth comprises of a chisel edge, bevel surface, and receding surface. The chisel edge of each tooth has an interference fit to the filter and it located on the center of a filter scallop. The side apertures allow the metal canister of the filter to contort and grant access to the filter bottom.

Abstract: A computing system determines incremental values associated with a plurality of clustering solutions. Each of the clustering solutions groups stores of a retailer into clusters in a different way. For each clustering solution in the plurality of clustering solutions, the incremental value associated with the clustering solution indicates a difference between an estimated revenue associated with the clustering solution and revenue associated with a baseline clustering solution. The computing system then determines, based on the incremental values associated with the plurality of clustering solutions, the appropriate number of clusters. The clustering solutions that group the stores into more or fewer clusters than the appropriate number of clusters tend to be associated with incremental values that are the same or lower than the clustering solutions that group the stores into the appropriate number of clusters.

Abstract: Customer data is retrieved that includes customer transactions of a retailer for a first time period and a second time period prior to the first time period. Each customer transaction may be associated with an identified customer. Customer transactions that occurred during the second time period and that are associated with an identified customer that was identified after the second time period are removed from the customer data. For each identified customer, a customer identification weighting factor is determined based on a customer identification likelihood. A total number of customer transactions associated with the identified customer is multiplied by the identification weighting factor to determine a weighted total number of customer transactions for the identified customer. The weighted total number of customer transactions for the identified customer is associated with the identified customer in the customer data. A report including a representation of the customer data is output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating migraine in a mammal, including a human, by administering to the mammal a 5HT1 receptor agonist in combination with a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. It also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a 5HT1 receptor agonist with a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor.

Abstract: An IR emitter for use in an IR repeater system includes an IR light source and a manually adjustable brightness control for adjusting the brightness to a level appropriate for an IR detector of electronic equipment to be controlled. In a preferred aspect, the emitter includes a plug-type connector having a variable resistor mounted therein. Also provided is an IR repeater system and method employing an IR emitter having a manually adjustable brightness control.
