  • Patent number: 7818382
    Abstract: A method is proposed for automatically updating and maintaining contact information for various contacts stored in a contact database without requiring an individual to manually update their contacts by using an automated reply process for the maintaining of contact information, as well as only requiring one individual to be a member of the service. Updating of the contacts with the automated reply process installed is more frequent.

  • Publication number: 20080162236
    Abstract: Complex organizations include a plurality of parties, including some parties whose financial performance relies upon the behavior of another party meeting an expectation of trust. A method of managing trust relationships within a complex organization includes determining a dependency value relating to an extent to which the financial performance of a first party of the plurality of parties relies upon the behavior of a second party of the plurality of parties, and determining a trust value relating to a level of trust that the first party holds in the second party. A risk value is then determined based upon the determined trust value. Next, a cost impact value is determined, which is based upon the determined dependency value, the determined risk value, and a scaling factor relating to an extent to which the first party's compensation is tied to its financial performance. Next, an action is performed for reducing the determined cost impact value.

  • Patent number: 7028526
    Abstract: To accommodate a press tooling carrier without interference, a control arm straight guide having at least one drive, e.g., having motor angular gears (worm gears), cardan shaft or the like is provided. A control arm straight guide permits a very shallow position of the joints in the completely assembled state. A hydraulic cylinder may be used to support startup of the motor, i.e., to move the control arm straight guide out of its bottom dead center position.

  • Patent number: 6694353
    Abstract: A method is proposed for automatically updating and maintaining email contact information for various contacts stored in a contact database within or outside of an email application without requiring an individual to manually verify and update email addresses. The method flags an invalid email address of a destination individual when an error message is received indicative of mail delivery failure. Another available email address of the destination individual is then automatically designated as their primary address.
