Abstract: A technology is described for a transportation management service. In one example, parameters can be received for transporting a load from an origin location to a destination location. In response, carriers that have available capacity to transport the load can be identified based on the parameters. Meta tags included in a strategic capacity profile defining a strategy for transporting the load can be retrieved. The strategy may be defined by the meta tags, which describe carrier attributes used to select a carrier to transport the load. The meta tags can be used to identify a set of carriers that have attributes that correspond to the meta tags and who are eligible to transport the load based on the parameters. The carrier data for the set of carriers can be provided to a user to allow a selection of one or more carriers to send tenders.

Abstract: A rotor hub assembly includes a rotor hub, a rotor and a cooling sleeve surrounding the rotor hub and located between the rotor hub and the rotor. Coolant flows between the rotor hub and the rotor during spinning of the rotor hub assembly. The cooling sleeve may include channels formed in the inner surface. The rotor hub may include an annular channel in fluid communication with the cooling sleeve channels. The annular channel may include apertures such that the cavities in the rotor hub are in fluid communication with the cooling sleeve. Coolant circulating within the rotor hub enters the annular channel and the channels in the cooling sleeve from centrifugal force caused by spinning of the rotor hub assembly.

Abstract: A promotions system and methods are provided for generating incentive-based promotions for specialized products with subsequent generated tracking metric data. The promotions system is configured to receive promotion data, generate coupon data based on the promotion data, and transmit the coupon data to a retail server. The generated coupon data generally comprises approved products list data and medically tailored meals data. The retail server checks purchased products against the approved products list data and the medically tailored meals data, including accessing data related to the nutritional content of the purchased products. The retail server provides a discount to at least one of the purchased products if at least a combination of two or more items within the purchased products qualify as a medically tailored meal based on the nutritional content data surpassing a first threshold. Data relating to the purchased product is transmitted to the promotions system server upon completion.
