摘要:
A method of and software for determining effectiveness of sales call efforts in a marketing environment in which representatives make contact with a customer in accordance with a prioritized list, comprising the steps of: (1) creating on a computer an electronic prioritized list of customers for representatives of an organization to use in contacting customers, the prioritized list including an identification of a customer identity and a specified contact frequency for each such customer to be executed by the representatives; (2) adjusting the specified contact frequency for a selected subset of customers on said electronic prioritized list to create an electronic adjusted prioritized list; (3) communicating the electronic adjusted prioritized list to the representatives (e.g. by generating call lists for each representative or groups of representatives); and (4) measuring changes in the promotional response among the selected subset of customers and recording data relating to said changes in an electronic data storage system. The invention further includes a method of improving effectiveness of such sales call efforts by a further step of using the measured change in promotional response among the selected subset of customers as an input to creation of an updated prioritized list with a modified contact frequency targeting the customers most likely to yield additional sales.
摘要:
A substrate transport apparatus comprising a drive section, a controller, an upper arm, forearm and substrate holder. A proximate end of the upper arm being rotatably mounted to the drive section at a shoulder joint. A proximate end of the forearm being rotatably mounted to a distal end of the upper arm at an elbow joint. The substrate holder being rotatably mounted to a distal end of the forearm at a wrist joint. The upper arm and the forearm being unequal in length from joint center to joint center. The substrate transport arm is adapted to transport substrate to and from at least two substrate holding areas with the drive section of the transport apparatus remaining in a fixed position relative to the holding areas. Each of the upper arm, forearm and substrate holder being independently rotatable with respect to each other.

The present invention relates to crystalline polymorphs of 3-O-(3′,3′-dimethylsuccinyl)betulinic acid di-N-methyl-D-glucamine salt (“DSB•2NMG)”), pharmaceutical compositions of the same and use of the same as an active pharmaceutical agent in the treatment of HIV related disorders.
摘要:
A method of forming multi-phasic nano-objects involves the jetting of two or more different liquids in side-by-side capillaries thereby generating a composite liquid stream. The composite then exposed to a force field which causes the composite liquid stream to at least partially solidify into a nano-object. The method forms a nano-object having a number of morphologies such as rods, spheres, and fibers.

In a Grid computer system having a plurality of download servers in network communication with client computers and a download management system, a client requests a download plan from the download management system for downloading data in parallel from the plurality of download servers to a client. The client requests chunks of data from download servers identified by the download plan. The client monitors the performance of the download servers downloading the chunks and reassigns portions of chunks amongst the download servers in order to improve the performance of completing the download of the chunks. A chunk of download data is a plurality of files, a file or a portion of file of data.
摘要:
Salts of 3-O-(3′,3′-dimethylsuccinyl)Betulinic acid (DSB) are disclosed. Particularly, the preparation, pharmaceutical evaluation, and in vivo bioavailability evaluation of N-methyl-D-glucamine and alkali metal salt forms of DSB are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions including these salt forms are used in methods of treating HIV and related diseases. Methods of making the salts of DSB and the pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
摘要:
A tool for generating a force downhole comprises a body, a longitudinally movable activating member mounted to the body, and a longitudinally movable driven member also mounted to the body. The driven member is operatively associated with the activating member such that on translation of the activating member in one axial direction, the driven member is translated in an opposite axial direction. The tool may be utilised to convert a pulling action, applied by a spoolable member, to a pushing action, useful in disengaging a downhole lock.
摘要:
Devices formed of or including biocompatible polyhydroxyalkanoates are provided with controlled degradation rates, preferably less than one year under physiological conditions. Preferred devices include sutures, suture fasteners, meniscus repair devices, rivets, tacks, staples, screws (including interference screws), bone plates and bone plating systems, surgical mesh, repair patches, slings, cardiovascular patches, orthopedic pins (including bone filling augmentation material), adhesion barriers, stents, guided tissue repair/regeneration devices, articular cartilage repair devices, nerve guides, tendon repair devices, atrial septal defect repair devices, pericardial patches, bulking and filling agents, vein valves, bone marrow scaffolds, meniscus regeneration devices, ligament and tendon grafts, ocular cell implants, spinal fusion cages, skin substitutes, dural substitutes, bone graft substitutes, bone dowels, wound dressings, and hemostats. The polyhydroxyalkanoates can contain additives, be formed of mixtures of monomers or include pendant groups or modifications in their backbones, or can be chemically modified, all to alter the degradation rates. The polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions also provide favorable mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and degradation times within desirable time frames under physiological conditions.
