摘要： The invention discloses simulation of a process of discrete events or tasks having a plurality of available resources associated therewith. A database stores a plurality of models, each including a plurality of one or more entity, task, and resource parameter, and dependencies and relationships. A model application communicates with the database and is configured to receive commands from a user, to retrieve one of the plurality of models and the corresponding plurality of one or more entity, task, and resource parameter in response to a user command, to receive input data corresponding to one or more entity, task, and resource parameter from a business database system, and to generate a simulation model based on the business database system and the input data. An optimizing application in communication with the model application and is configured to receive commands from a user, to select one or more entity, task, and resource parameter of the simulation model with respect to an objective function, to define bounds of the one or more entity, task, and resource parameter selected, to generate values for the objective function based on the one or more of the entity, task, and resource parameter selected, and to generate financial performance data based on the values generated for the objective function. A server performs a simulation of the process by processing the simulation model and generates an output data file containing output data representative thereof. The objective function comprises a combination of system financial performance measures (e.g., operational margin) and process performance measures (e.g., cycle time, throughput, utilization.

摘要： A lick deterrent device to deter animals from biting or chewing. The deterrent device has a flexible substrate physically conformable in three directions with conductive traces thereon. The lick deterrent device is configured for electrical connection to a removable power source. The traces are configured so that they may be contacted by an animal's tongue or saliva, so that upon contact, an electrical circuit is completed thereby delivering a mild electric shock to the animal. The lick deterrent device may be stretchable in at least one direction.

摘要： An apparatus and method for discouraging or deterring animals from removing or attempting to remove veterinary medical lines which are attached to them or otherwise located in their immediate vicinity. The apparatus includes a tube body, two electrical conductors connected to the tube body in a spiral, wrapped configuration, and a battery power source. The tube is constructed of a non-conductive material and may be of varying diameter and length. The conductors are disposed so that they may be contacted on the outside of the tube body, and upon contact with the animal's tongue or saliva, an electrical circuit is completed through the tongue, conductors and power source, thereby delivering an electrical impulse through the sensitive tissues of the animal. The low voltage electrical shock is harmless to the animal but is unpleasant, thus the animal does not attempt to remove the intravenous tube and medicating proceeds as normal.
