Abstract: A workflow management system, a client device, and a method describe business workflow management systems and methods optimized for small to medium-sized businesses. The systems and methods can include a recommendation engine to parse through data to provide a finite and optimized to-do list to business owners and employees to optimize business operation and overall productivity recognizing the inherent constraints in small to medium-sized businesses. The recommendations in the to-do list are based on data analysis using a plurality of factors such as context, time, efficiency, etc. The systems and methods are focused on the needs and objectives of business owners in the context of running a more efficient business. The recommendations seek to be relevant, actionable, and contextually-driven to optimize business operations recognizing that small and medium-sized businesses have finite resources during ongoing operations.

Abstract: A heating and ventilation system for a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The system having a heater core supplied with engine cooling fluid via a variable flow pump for heating an air flow supplied to the passenger compartment. The system additionally having a controller for controlling the pump to increase engine cooling fluid mass flow-rate in response to a detected temperature decrease of the engine cooling fluid when the engine is off.

Abstract: A lock for a sliding door or window including a latching linkage and an inner manual lever, that allows movement of the latching linkage between a locked and an unlocked position by means of the manual lever and by operation of a inside or outside key barrel, but also allows deadlocking of the latching linkage in its locked position so that operation of the manual lever to unlock the latching linkage is prevented. It is however, desirable that the lock be operable to lock the lock from the inside by a convenient operation of the manual lever when the user is inside the house. It is further desirable that the door is able to be deadlocked by a key from the inside or the outside in a manner that prevents unlocking of the door by the manual handle, since a house owner may find it inconvenient to have to walk around the outside of their house locking the doors.

Abstract: A system for controlling air-conditioning in a vehicle includes an input, a sensor, a first offset module, and an evaporator temperature control module. The input receives an input temperature. The first sensor measures a first dewpoint temperature of air adjacent to a windshield of the vehicle. The first offset module generates a second dewpoint temperature based on the input temperature and generates a first offset based on the first and second dewpoint temperatures. The evaporator temperature control module generates a target evaporator temperature based on the first offset.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling network traffic with different tags within the same connection by applying policies for each tag are disclosed. A method is disclosed in which incoming traffic is received. A traffic class is assigned to the traffic class. Outgoing traffic is controlled based on the assigned policy for the incoming traffic.

Abstract: A system for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle includes an input, an offset generator module, and an evaporator temperature control module. The input receives an input temperature. The offset generator module receives a psychrometric parameter of air inside the vehicle and generates offsets based on the input temperature and the psychrometric parameter. The evaporator temperature control module generates a target evaporator temperature based on the offsets.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to an auction optimization system that assists users in determining one or more parameters associated with a planned auction. In one embodiment, the auction optimization system computes a predicted final auction price for a given item based on historical auction data associated with the same or similar items. In other embodiments, the auction optimization system is operative to compute suggestions for various auction parameters, such as starting price, start time, duration, and reserve price. In certain embodiments, the auction optimization system uses novel data gathering techniques that minimize the load on on-line auction facilities and gather data in a manner consistent with the use policies associated with on-line auction facilities.

Abstract: A cache, including a cache memory, is configurable to operate in a cache mode and a trace mode. When the cache is operating in the cache mode, the cache memory stores a copy of a portion of data that is stored in another memory external to the cache, and a received data access request is processed by retrieving a copy of a portion of data identified in the received data access request from the cache memory (if the cache memory stores a copy of the portion of data), or by forwarding the data access request to a data access request processing means external to the cache (if the cache memory does not store a copy of the portion of data). When the cache is operating in the trace mode, data access requests received by the cache are monitored and information relating to a received data access request is captured and stored in the cache memory.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to the identification of a set of auctions which are similar, or relevant, to a contemplated or model auction. In one embodiment, the similar auction identification system uses a model auction, including keywords and other information contained in a data structure that characterize attributes of the auction, as input data to identify a set of auctions that are similar or analytically relevant to the model auction. In one implementation, the resulting set of identified auctions allows a user to efficiently analyze the auctions in assessing the starting parameters of a contemplated auction, or for assessing the latest bid price in a currently pending auction. In one implementation, the set of identified auctions can be used as an input to an auction optimization system that, for example, computes a set of suggested auction parameters for a contemplated auction, and/or computes one or more predicted behavioral attributes for a contemplated auction.
