摘要:
The present invention relates to a data messaging system and method for transmitting content to a subscriber of telephony services which are provided by an operator, such as a mobile network operator. The method and system facilitates the transmission of content in a delivery report message sent to the subscriber device from a messaging centre. Such a system and method enables the use of the status/delivery report message mechanism associated with a data messaging services as a backwards communication channel.

A reservoir with a foundation formed from ground-engaging segments which surround a base, interengaged vertical wall elements which are mounted to the segments, fasteners which fix the elements to the segments, and a liner which extends over the base and opposed inner surfaces of the elements.

A marker for marking a site within the body of a mammalian patient is positioned within the tissue of a patient. The marker may be placed in the first instance by a needle or the like or placed where a tissue sample has been removed. The marker has a plurality of loops each at various angles to the other such that when positioned within the patient, one of the loops is positioned orthogonal to a magnetic field of a metal detector. Various shapes of markers may be used, including electron orbital shapes, chains of loops or barbells. Barbs or other anchoring elements may be used to stabilize the marker's position. Normal delivery techniques as needles, catheters or cannulas may readily position the marker within the patent. By having the marker so designed and positioned, at least one of the closed loops is detectable by a metal detection beam of a metal detection device.

A workflow-manager (150) reserves a resource for processing an anticipated real work item by sending a simulated, artificial, work item to the resource before the real work item becomes available. The resource does not process the simulated work item, but rather awaits the real work item. When the real work item becomes available, it is substituted for the simulated work item, and the resource processes it. For example, in an ACD system (101) that processes various types of communications, it is anticipated on a per-type basis how many agents (102-104) Will be needed (202) versus how many are available (204). Any shortfall is cured by generating (210) tokens representing that many simulated communications of that type and enqueuing, dequeuing, and assigning the tokens to agents like any other arriving communications. Any excess is cured by canceling (210) that many outstanding, pending, tokens of that type. When a real communication of that type arrives (300), it is substituted (312,314) for the oldest token of that type, either in queue or at an assigned agent. To be fair to all agents, an assigned token is periodically reassigned from one agent to an available another agent.

A feedback control for a predictive dialer employs three feedback loops. A first feedback loop adjusts the dialer's call initiations to compensate for error between the desired, reference, service level and a service level realized by calls that were initiated by the predictive dialer to steer the realized service level to the reference service level. A second loop adjusts the predictive dialer's call initiations for margin between the number of non-nuisance calls (successes) initiated by the predictive dialer over a time and the number of successes that would have been sufficient to produce the reference service level to force the realized service level to converge to the reference service error while ensuring that the oscillations of the realized service level stay above the reference service level. A third loop controls the aggressiveness with which the predictive dialer initiates calls, with a calibration factor that compensates for systematic error in the aggressiveness and possibly attenuates oscillations in the realized service level.

Disclosed herein is a system for placing an elongated permanent magnet into a volume of tissue within a human body, including placement following a large core needle tissue biopsy procedure, where the tissue is suspected of being cancerous. The magnet's position is then detected by a magnet locating system that is used by a surgeon to find and remove the suspected tissue volume including a margin of tissue to assure that any and all cancer cells have been excised.
摘要:
A facility for adjusting a number of servers assigned to server pools for performing certain work types on the basis of unmet service needs in a work processing facility. Servers may include service agents, both human and robotic. A server assignor and a corresponding server assignment method may each be employed in a work distributor or an automatic call distributor (“ACD”) to conditionally adjust server availability in server pools. The server assignor compares a composite preference value for a work type against each server's threshold value for the work type. When the server assignor determines that the composite preference value is greater than or equal to a server's threshold value, then the server assignor indicates that the server may be included in the server pool for that work type. Each server has preference values and threshold values for different kinds of work. The magnitude of a preference value represents an affinity for the work type. The server's threshold value represents a reluctance to perform work having that work type. The server does not normally receive work for which the preference value is less than the threshold value, unless the server assignor determines that the composite preference value exceeds the server's threshold value for that work type. The server assignor and corresponding server assignment method may compute the composite preference value from a number of user-selectable inputs and utilize a number of user-selectable functions.
