Abstract: A meeting space enclosure (10) for use within a larger enclosed space (26) includes a structure having at least one wall (14, 16, 18, 20) and a ceiling (20) which therebetween define an interior space (22), and a closure (24) to permit user access to and from the interior space, wherein the meeting space enclosure (10) includes a self-contained HVAC arrangement mounted to the ceiling (12) and operable to control the temperature, purity and humidity of the air within the interior space (22).

Abstract: A coupling assembly for connecting fluid lines, may include a first part comprising a sleeve, a second part including an insert, and at least one seal. The sleeve may include an opening to accommodate the insert, the at least one seal may be arranged between the first part and the second part to provide a fluid-tight connection between the first part and the second part when the insert is arranged in an end position within the sleeve. The sleeve and/or the insert may include at least one vent opening to provide a fluid path from an inner volume of the coupling assembly to a surrounding when the insert is arranged within the sleeve in a position between the opening of the sleeve and the end position.

Abstract: The present invention provides a configurable pricing system that allows users to define or modify data used to analyze, evaluate, improve, and design pricing changes according to the user's need. A Graphical user interface or some other type of user interface allows the user to access and review various data to be used during pricing optimization. The user may then modify this data as needed to improve the pricing evaluation, such as defining sales or pricing trends, or relationships between the product of interest and other competing items. The user interface may further display changes in pricing and the effects of the pricing changes, as caused by the user's changes. The interface may also allow the user to modify the mathematical model to be used during price optimization, as well as define variables, constraints, and boundaries to be considered during the price optimization.

Abstract: A telephone network interface device (NID) isolation module (NIM). The NIM is adapted to fit a telco-side modular jack of a NID bridging a telco feed to inside wiring. The NIM comprises a modular plug made of an electrically insulating material that fits securely in the modular jack. Following disconnection of the telco feed from the inside wiring, the NIM is inserted into the modular jack to prevent the reconnection of the telco feed to the inside wiring. A tag component of the NIM is used to provide instructions and warnings to a subscriber or a service technician relating to the use of the telco-side modular jack.

Abstract: A business process and computer system known as the “Target Pricing System” (TPS) that generates an optimum bid or value for a competitively bid good or service. The system is resident on one or more host processors in connection with one or more data stores, and includes a product model that defines list values for the bid using stored price data and costs the values using stored cost data, a competitor net price model that calculates an equivalent competitor net price for the value, and a market response model that calculates the probability of winning with the value as a function of price. The system further preferably includes an optimization model that computes the target price of an optimal value that maximizes expected contribution for the bid or value. The system alternately further includes a benefits model for calculating the benefits of using target pricing over a pre-existing approach, and strategic objects which each affect the target price.
