Abstract: This application includes a method for activating or reactivating a prescription, which includes: receiving, over a network, customer information and prescription information of one or more customers; receiving, over the network, claim responses based on the customer information and prescription information, to submitted prescription claims for each of the one or more customers from at least one coverage provider; determining adjusted costs of the prescriptions based on initial prescription costs and on determined available discounts applicable to the prescriptions; performing a suitability check based on the claim responses and the adjusted costs to generate a set of suitable customers; and transmitting customer communications to the suitable customers for activation or reactivation, wherein the customer communications include adjusted costs prescriptions.

Abstract: A method for applying fluid to a travel lane is disclosed. The method may include receiving information related to a travel lane including a first set of tire paths and a second set of tire paths to be traveled by one or more vehicles, generating spray pattern control information for a fluid application machine having multiple spray heads based on the first set of tire paths and the second set of tire paths to be traveled by the one or more vehicles, and selectively triggering the multiple spray heads of the fluid application machine to alternately apply fluid to the first set of tire paths and the second set of tire paths based on the spray pattern control information and based on a current position of the fluid application machine on the travel lane.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for displaying a topological graph that allows a user to navigate through a history of previous topology displays to increase the user's understanding and awareness of the state of the topology. In a preferred embodiment, a topology display mechanism receives state changes to a topology of a computer network and stores a sequence of graphs that reflect the changes that are made to the topology. The topology display mechanism also allows the user to step through the sequence of stored topology graphs using “video” type controls to change the display of the topology graphs. In other embodiments, the topology display mechanism displays the changes in the topology as a sequence of graphs that form an animation to give the user a graphical visualization of the changes from one topology graph in the sequence to the next.

Abstract: The self-elevating platform scaffolding includes a horizontal work platform suspended from a vertical mast tower and a unique lift mechanism mounted to the work platform, which raises and lowers the platform along the length of the tower. The lift mechanism uses a pinion wheel that directly engages a mast tower to raise and lower the work platform along the mast towers. The pinion wheel has a plurality of radially spaced cogs that seat within crescent shaped openings in the mast tower. The lift mechanism is mounted to the work platform adjacent the mast tower such that rotation of the pinion wheel causes the wheel to “walk” up and down the mast tower to raise and lower the platform. The geometric configuration of the pinion wheel is designed so that at least two of the cogs are always in contact with the mast tower. As the pinion wheel turns, each successive cog seats within an adjacent crescent slot in the mast tower with its contact edge bearing against the bottom edge of tower opening.

Abstract: A port configuration utility includes a graphic depiction of resources within a topology, and provides a user with at least a control panel for selecting ports of resources within the topology, configuring the ports and monitoring the status of the ports. The port configuration utility may include additional features for scheduling operations as well as accessing and managing port related information.
