  • Patent number: 9411575
    Abstract: A method and a system for quality assurance automation are described. A system comprises a requirements service to generate requirements artifacts from one or more sources. The requirement artifacts are of a standardized format that is referenced in tested software code. A data provider service standardizes and distributes various types of common test data across multiple business disciplines. An execution service manages test executions across and multiple environments where test software code is installed. An evaluation service analyzes data resulting from the test executions. A reporting service reports the analyzed data.

  • Publication number: 20120224678
    Abstract: A system and method for managing and controlling telephone activity in a correctional facility comprises providing a first communicative connection between a caller and a recipient, delivering the conversation between the caller and the recipient over the first communicative connection and executing silence recognition software to identify a plurality of periods of conversation silence delivered over the first communicative connection. By comparing the periods of conversation silence with a silence threshold, a determination can be made as to whether the recipient is attempting to create an unauthorized call connection. Based on that comparison step, a detection response is executed.

  • Publication number: 20110261941
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring telephone activity and conversation content in a correctional facility comprises providing a communicative connection between a caller and a recipient, alerting at least one of the caller and the recipient that the communications may be recorded, delivering the conversation between the caller and the recipient over the communicative connection and storing the conversation into a call record memory. After the communicative connection has been terminated, speech recognition software is executed to identify a plurality of conversation words within the call record memory. By comparing the conversation words with a database of trigger words, a determination can be made as to whether the conversation is of interest to the correctional facility. Based on that comparison step, a detection response is executed.

  • Publication number: 20060134354
    Abstract: A re-sealing puncturable stopper for use with capped vials having lyophilized calibration chemicals therein adapted for use in a manner that minimizes failure modes: (1) in an initial lyophilization manufacturing process; (2) during a subsequent hydration process; (3) while protecting a vial stored on-board an automated clinical analyzer; (4) when punctured for aspiration; and, (5) when re-sealing the vial after aspiration.
