Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for the automated routing and processing of telecommunication service orders. A system and method in accordance with the present invention may further prioritize the analysis and processing of telecommunication service orders, identify and classify past due telecommunication service orders for analysis and processing, and manage the order of completion of components of a telecommunication service order. A system and process in accordance with the present invention receives a service order and parses it to find messages on the service order that are included on a message table. Analysis rules provide actions to be taken with a service order based on the messages found in the service order.

Abstract: A collaborative system and method allows members of a group to collaborate on a project such as a bid or proposal. According to a first embodiment, a complex instrument trading engine (CITE) facilities negotiation between two or more parties. A set of tools and techniques are provided in order to facilitate negotiation and execution of complex instruments such as contracts between corporations and governments. According to a second embodiment, referred to as a dynamic collaborative environment, a user can define a group and a virtual private network environment including user-selected tools that facilitate communication, research, analysis, and electronic transactions within the group. The environment can be destroyed easily when it is no longer needed. Multiple environments can co-exist on the same physical network of computers.

Abstract: An article handler or positioner includes an X-Y table driven by reversible stepping motors. Zero position sensors function to provide an output signal when the X-Y table moves into a zero or home or reference position. The sensors are electro-optical devices having two beams of light one of which is gradually interrupted while the other one is gradually uninterrupted as the table moves into the zero position. Photo detectors provide output signals one of which increases and the other of which decreases as the table moves into the zero position and, at the point of crossover of the respective output signals, another output signal is generated indicating the home position is reached. This signal is then used to inhibit further operation of the driving motors.
