Abstract: The present invention relates to managing connections between one or more data network interfaces and one or more phone interfaces. In one embodiment, a manager process, running on a computer system receives one or more telephone calls from one or more users over one of the phone interfaces and then accesses one or more profiles associated with each of the users. These profiles have one or more service identifiers and one or more interactive response agent (IRA) identifiers associated with the respective user. A menu of the service identifiers is presented to the user. The manager process looks up an agent address of one of the IRAs that is associated with the service identifier selected by the user from the menu and establishes a session with the associated IRA. A two-way communication with the associated IRA occurs during the session.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer system and method that manages connections between one or more data network interfaces and one or more phone interfaces. A manager process, running on a computer system having both data and phone network interfaces, receives one or more telephone calls from one or more users over one of the phone interfaces and than accesses one or more profiles associated with each of the users. These profiles have one or more service identifiers and one or more interactive response agent (IRA) identifiers associated with the respective user.

The system then looks up an agent address of one of the IRAs that is associated with the service identifier selected by the user from the menu and establishes a session with the associated IRA.

Abstract: A method (and system) for managing and controlling allocation and de-allocation of resources based on a guaranteed amount of resource and additional resources based on a best effort for a plurality of customers, includes dynamically allocating server resources for a plurality of customers, such that the resources received by a customer are dynamically controlled and the customer receives a guaranteed minimum amount of resources as specified under a service level agreement (SLA). The best effort is defined in the SLA as a range of service to be provided to the customer if server resources are currently available.

Abstract: A level having a mounting body provided with a bubble tube measuring portion disposed in a container case, the mounting body is adjusted by microrotation in relation to the container case to correct a position of the bubble tube, wherein a shaft insertion hole is provided in the container case and in the mounting body, the shaft member is disposed via the through-hole of the container case and the mounting body, whereby the mounting body can perform microrotations about the shaft member in the container case, the mounting body is provided with an elastic pressure contact portion for making elastic pressure contact with an inner surface of one side of the container case, and a tightening and pressing contact portion for making pressing contact via an adjustment screw for pressing and making contact in a sloped direction with the inner surface on an opposite side facing the container case.

Abstract: A level being one in which a mounting base 2 is configured so that a first unit 2A that presses against the inner surface of one side of the container case 3 and a second unit 2B that presses against the inner surface of the opposing opposite side of the container case 3 are slidably assembled by way of a slide mechanism S; the slide mechanism S is formed so that the assembly contact surfaces 5 and 6 of the first unit 2A and second unit 2B are formed as slope guide surfaces 5 and 6; the slope guide surfaces 5 and 6 make contact with each other, the second unit 2B is slidably configured in the slope direction in relation to the first unit 2A.

Abstract: An object is to provide a novel level in which a mounting base can be pressingly fixed in a container case in a reliable manner by a simple operation while having a simple configuration, wherein the level has excellent mass-productivity and is advantageous in terms of cost.

Abstract: An object is to provide a very novel and highly practical level in which mass productivity is good, in which the bubble position is easily corrected, and which is advantageous in terms of cost.

Abstract: To prevent system crashes, as by denial-of-service attacks, of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) networks, this invention regulates the volume of TCP connection requests that await service at a TCP/IP connection control table. For this purpose, the usage of the system is monitored on a dynamic basis, the time-out value Tho is dynamically computed, and requests that have been awaiting service for a period of time that exceeds Tho are removed from the TCP/IP connection control table.

Abstract: The preparation for intranasal administration comprising D-alanyl-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-D-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-tryptophyl-D-phenylalanyl-L-lysinamide (pralmorelin) and/or an acid addition salt thereof as an active ingredient and water permits a marked increase in the in vivo absorption of pralmorelin and hence provides adequate efficacy even if it is administered in a small dose at a time. The preparation also allows pralmorelin to be dissolved in an increased amount, so it can be formulated pharmaceutically with great ease. It also high stability over time.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the rates at which application workload, e.g., TCP connection requests, is admitted to a collection of servers, such as a server farm of an application service provider (ASP) that hosts Internet World Wide Web (WWW) sites of various owners. The system and method are intended to operate in an environment in which each customer has a workload-based SLA for each type of application hosted by the provider and used by the customer. The system and method achieve support (minimum, maximum) TCP connection requests for multiple customers and applications. According to one aspect, the system and method guarantee, control and deliver TCP connection-based workload SLA's to customers whose applications are hosted by the server farm with the use of a workload regulator that operates by regulating only new TCP connection request packets while transparently passing existing TCP connection packets and other request packets received for customers.
