Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for implementing by a filter tool are provided. The filter tool includes abstracting code to create filter stack components and combining the filter stack components into a filter stack. The filter tool also includes publishing the filter stack within an interface of the development environment application and performing a quality assurance test utilizing the filter stack as published.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for executing an achievement-based workflow tool to perform a quality control check of a product are provided. The quality control check includes assigning to each asset of the product an achievement from an achievement type list to produce assigned achievements and executing a set of tests associated with each achievement assigned to each asset of the product. Further, the quality control check includes creating a certificate detailing results of each set of tests and comparing the certificate against the achievement type list to determine which of the assigned achievements been earned by the product.

Abstract: A competitive environment in which merchants compete for sales in a reverse auction format in which there are many sellers and a single buyer is disclosed. Merchants purchase prominent placement on product search results lists based on a negotiable per-sale fee. A customer discount is derived from the per-sale fee negotiated with each merchant. The customer discount may be shared with customers by subtracting the customer discount from a merchant market price. The result is a final customer price that determines the merchant's position in the product search results list. Merchants having the lowest final customer price are placed at the top of the search results list, while merchants having higher final customer prices are placed further down the list. Merchants may influence their position on the search results list by agreeing to pay a different amount for each sale.

Abstract: It is described a process to obtain increased milk production and/or greater milk protein concentration using supplements with a fatty acid mixture or through production of specific fatty acids within the animal. The process or the supplementation of the product described in this invention (supplements formulated with fatty acids mixtures and with adequate levels of metabolizable protein) allows greater efficiency and/or better quality and/or a healthier mammal with improved productivity. The process includes supplementation of specific types of fatty acids with or without ruminal protection to ruminants and, generally, a diet with metabolizable protein energy ratio greater than the one suggested by the state of the art. The process may include the production of the said compounds (conjugated fatty acids) on the animal itself from fat, certain compounds and microorganisms added to the diet capable of modifying the environment of the gut.

Abstract: In a cellular communication system, the delivery of a page or message is attempted over the system to a user of the system. If the page or message is undeliverable before a set period of time, the page or message is converted to a voice mail message. The voice mail message is then stored in the cellular communication system. When the cellular communication system is accessed by the user, the user is notified of the existence of voice mail by either a text page or an automated voice radiotelephone call. The stored voice mail message is then delivered either automatically, or at the user's request.
