Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises loading information of a plurality of products, a plurality of employees of an organization and qualifying information for a plurality of sales agents into a database. A token data structure may be generated that is unique to a product, to an employee and to qualifying information of one or more sales agents authorized to sell the product to the employee. The token data structure may then be encrypted and sent to a load balancing scheduler, which may then select and assign the decrypted token data structure to one of a plurality of available and qualified virtual seats. Each qualified and available virtual seat may be configured to be occupied by any available sales agent whose qualifying information matches the qualifying information in the generated token data structure. The assigned token data structure may then be decrypted and the database accessed.

Abstract: The invention herein provides a “thick bar” barbell that permits free rotation of weight plates during weightlifting movements, weighs less than 50 lbs. and accommodates standard Olympic weight plates. Briefly, the invention comprising a generally cylindrical bar of generally annular cross-section having an outer diameter of between approximately 1.5 inches and 3.5 inches and extending longitudinally between a pair of end regions. A rod member is securely inserted within each end region of the bar. Each rod member has an outer segment extending longitudinally outward beyond the respective end region of the bar, the segment having an O.D. less than the O.D. of the bar. Generally cylindrical sleeves are mounted on the outer segments of the rod members for rotation thereabout the bar's longitudinal axis, with a bushing between each of the rod segments and the respective sleeve. The outer diameter of each sleeve is sized to accommodate the 50 mm hole found in standard Olympic weight plates.
