The deduplication is performed based on a listing of a plurality of zone stamps. Each zone stamp in the plurality of zone stamps represents a zone in a plurality of zones deduplicated by at least one server in the plurality of grid servers.

Abstract: A system may be configured to receive an indication that a call has been placed (e.g., to a call center), and may provide a customized visual interface. The customized visual interface may include information that is potentially relevant to a user who has placed the call, and may be based on, for example, a user profile or history information, a purchase history of goods or services offered by an entity associated with the called party. The customized visual interface may allow the user to more quickly satisfy the purposes of his or her call than through traditional audio or touchtone menus.

Abstract: A system for preventing pregnancy and covertly treating erectile dysfunction is used to help the user maintain an erection by constricting the penis of the user. The system includes a condom which, like a traditional condom, is used to capture semen in order to prevent pregnancy. The system includes a first constriction band, a second constriction band, and a constriction ring which each work to constrict areas of the penis to limit blood flow so that an erection may be maintained during sex. The condom includes a tubular body and a length-adjustable head. The tubular body helps to hold the length-adjustable head in place over the head of the penis. The length-adjustable head captures ejaculated semen and also helps to keep the first constriction band in place.
