  • Patent number: 11966868
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for sorting-based assignment to optimize order fulfillment with short supply. One embodiment includes identifying a set of one or more distributions within a series of days. Sorting all demands of a first priority level occurring in the series of days by ascending order of size of the demand. For each demand of the first priority level in sorted order, (a) selecting an initial distribution during which the demand is scheduled to be fulfilled from the set of distributions, and (b) generating an indication that the demand can cannot be completely fulfilled, based on the size of the demand and the amount of supply available. Automatically arranging a graphical representation of a schedule of supplies and met and unmet demands for the series of days in a graphical user interface based at least on the indications generated for each demand.

  • Patent number: 10288129
    Abstract: A fluid control assembly controls fluid to a disk pack, which includes a plurality of interleaved disks movable into a disengaged state of the disks, a slip state of the disks and an engaged state of the disks. An actuator assembly is configured to move the disk pack between the disengaged, slip and engaged states. A blocking member is configured to be acted upon by the actuator assembly, such that the actuator assembly and the blocking member: (i) reduce or close off flow of fluid to the disk pack when in the disengaged state, (ii) increase or open flow of fluid to the disk pack when in the slip state, and (iii) reduce or close off flow of fluid to the disk pack when in the engaged state.

  • Patent number: 8184800
    Abstract: A method for managing voice response services in a call center for interactive voice response (IVR) applications that provides full IVR call capacity during the installation and testing of new IVR application software. The call center includes web application servers, a network dispatcher, IVR clusters, databases and a network switch, which are reconfigured during the installation and testing of new IVR application software so that full IVR call capacity is maintained at all times. The call center further includes the ability to uninstall newly installed IVR application software and restore the call center to the original IVR application software configuration without reducing the call center IVR call capacity.

  • Publication number: 20050246177
    Abstract: A system, method and software for collecting, processing and analyzing user task utterances in speech-enabled systems are provided. In one embodiment, a number of task utterances are captured over a period of time. A text-based version of the utterances is created from the captured utterances. The captured task utterances, the text-based utterances and an identification record are preferably placed in storage. The text and/or recorded utterances are categorized into action-object pairs. The identification records and recorded utterances are linked. From the linked, categorized text and recorded utterances, speech grammars for a speech-enabled system may then be developed.
