Embodiments of tie-down apparatuses and associated methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary tie-down/sling apparatus can include a first flat component having a first surface and a second flat component having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second flat component can be positioned on the first flat component by fixedly attaching the first side to the first surface. The second side of the second flat component can include a reflective surface configured to visually present a set of information to an operator or others.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, and including a method for aggregating data rates. The method comprises identifying plural mobile devices configured for communication with a carrier-associated network for downloading network resources, and creating a data bundle representing data download capacity to be shared among mobile devices for data downloads from the network. The method further comprises negotiating a data bundle price with the carrier, and receiving requests from mobile devices for downloading network data. The method further comprises presenting data to a mobile device user that has provided a request, including rate information for initiating a download associated with the request, the rate information based on the negotiated price irrespective of airtime or data charges for the download ordinarily charged by the carrier. The method further comprises debiting a user account using a group price based on the rate information.
摘要:
Estimating product inventory comprises determining a rate of sales events for a product and an amount of time that has elapsed since a previous product availability estimate from the product. Then, a new product availability estimate for the product is determined based on the rate sales events for the product. The rate of sales events for the product can be determined based on product data feeds from the merchant or other sales data.

Systems and methods for extracting data related to product sales and businesses that sell products are disclosed. The method may include obtaining a database connection parameter and a remote system connection parameter. The method also may include establishing a connection with a database using the database connection parameter, where the database has a table with a table attribute. Additionally, the method may include obtaining a mapping of one of the table attributes to a predefined attribute so that data may be extracted from the database using the mapping. The method may further include establishing a connection with a remote system using the remote system connection parameter and transmitting the extracted data to the remote system.

A point of sale (POS) data collection system includes a POS data collector that is implemented as a hardware device and/or in software. The collector may be installed at the point of sale in retail stores, for example, between a barcode scanner and the POS application running on a POS terminal (for example, the cash register). When a product is scanned at the point of sale, the collector may intercept the barcode as it transmitted from the barcode scanner to the POS application. After intercepting the barcode, the collector may transmit the barcode to the POS application without noticeable delay, so that the collector does not interrupt standard business processes. In addition, the collector may send the barcode to a remote server via a network connection. In this manner, the remote server may collect POS data that covers a significant number of products, retailers, and locations.

摘要:
An integrated radio telecommunications network which integrates an ANSI-41 circuit switched network and a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) packet data network to support a mobile station which operates in both the ANSI-41 network and the GPRS network. An interworking function interfaces a mobile switching center (MSC) in the ANSI-41 network with a serving GPRS switching node (SGSN) in the GPRS network by mapping circuit switched signaling utilized by the MSC into GPRS packet switched signaling utilized by the SGSN, and mapping GPRS packet switched signaling into circuit switched signaling. An interworking GPRS base station controller interfaces the SGSN with a GPRS/ANSI-136 base station which supports both ANSI-136 operations and GPRS operations. The interworking GPRS base station controller adapts the traffic signaling format utilized by the SGSN into an air interface traffic signaling format utilized by the GPRS/ANSI-136 base station. An authentication center interface passes the authentication state of the mobile station between an ANSI-41 home location register/authentication center (HLR/AC) in the ANSI-41 network, and a GPRS home location register/authentication center (HLR/AUC) in the GPRS network.
摘要:
Compositions are provided containing molecules having at least one moiety from .beta.-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) lactic acid and/or caffeic acid, which are found in extracts from the plant genus Salvia, said moieties being of the formula: ##STR1## the active agents having a molecular weight of at least 190 daltons. A class of preferred agents are those which are conjugated to form dimers, trimers, tetramers and larger polymers containing said moieties, with the most preferred being salvianolic acid dimers, trimers, tetramers and larger polymers. The compounds and compositions may be administered in pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients systemically or locally to treat viral infections.
