  • Patent number: 11711470
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include receiving an access request from a user device, creating a current queue position status of a user profile associated with the user device based on one or more known status identifiers associated with the user device, assigning the user profile to a sub-queue and a specified time slot of a queue, managed by a computing node, among various other user profiles stored in the queue, and initiating a communication session to the user device at a specific time.

  • Publication number: 20150227860
    Abstract: In an approach for generating defect turnaround time metrics for assessing project status, a computer retrieves defect turnaround time criteria. The computer imports defect turnaround time data. Based, at least in part, on the defect turnaround time criteria, the computer analyzes the defect turnaround time data. The computer generates defect turnaround time metrics.

  • Patent number: 8176825
    Abstract: A method for producing carbide and diamond cutting tool inserts adapted to compensate for braze-induced warp is provided. In this method, the anticipated warpage of the insert from brazing is considered prior to cutting the insert from a PCD and carbide disk and the cutting path for the insert is adjusted to compensate. The adjusted cutting path creates an insert shape that, after warping as a result of the brazing process, will conform substantially to the originally intended insert or cutting tool shape. Also, a method of providing relief on the bottom surface of a brazeable insert is provided. Further, tools produceable by these methods are disclosed, such as a diamond edged rotary cutting tool with a substantially sinusoidal rake face and cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 6740739
    Abstract: A novel cytokine, designated Apo-2 ligand, which induces mammalian cancer cell apoptosis is provided. The Apo-2 ligand is believed to be a member of the TNF cytokine family. Compositions including Apo-2 ligand chimeras, nucleic acid encoding Apo-2 ligand, and antibodies to Apo-2 ligand are also provided. Methods of using Apo-2 ligand to induce apoptosis and to treat pathological conditions such as cancer, are further provided.
