Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for using a third-party recommendation in a game system includes: receiving, at a recommendation engine and from a game system, current game context data provided in real time during a game in which at least one user participates; selecting, by the recommendation engine, at least one of multiple predefined actions based on at least the current game context data; and providing a response to the game system that identifies the selected at least one action for performance.
Abstract:
A method and system to determine customer segmentation based on energy consumption patterns is provided. An example system includes a communications module, a clustering module, and a matching module. The communications module obtains energy consumption data in the form of a plurality of value days. The clustering module groups the value days associated with a certain period of time into a set of clusters. The matching module identifies a customer profile as associated with a cluster from the set of clusters based on results of examining value days associated with the customer profile.
Abstract:
A sheet metal component that is bent from a sheet metal blank includes at least one three-sided corner. Two edges of the three-sided corner are formed by a first bending member of the sheet metal blank bent about a first inner bending radius Ri,1 and a second bending member of the sheet metal blank bent about a second inner bending radius Ri,2, and the third edge of the three-sided corner is formed by a first blank edge of the first bending member and a second blank edge of the second bending member. The sheet metal blank has an internal corner that forms the first blank edge, the second blank edge, and a wedge-like recess that opens in the internal corner.
Abstract:
Presentation methods are determined from a work context and/or user preferences. The presentation methods can be combined in any manner with various navigational methods and working modes, to present any type of enterprise data to a user.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring performance of a wireless network. A probe server controls posts to send and receive probes of the wireless network. These probes provide feedback information, which indicates how the wireless network is performing.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring performance of a wireless network are disclosed. According to one described example, at least one probe is generated. In the example, the probe determines the portion of a wireless network to monitor, the type of the probe, and the number and frequency of the probe or probes to target a specific carrier, a specific system, or a specific geographical area. A probe server generates the probe based on a parameter specified by the user and transmits the probe to a plurality of posts or to the wireless network. In the example, the probe server controls the posts to send and receive probes to the wireless network. In response to the received probes, the wireless network responds by sending feedback information, which can be used to indicate how the wireless network is performing.
Abstract:
A travel and expense management is proposed that runs on a computer system. A business calendar system receives travel data for a trip from an employee user. The travel data is transmitted from the business calendar system to a travel service retention system using a conduit software program. The travel service retention system books one or more travel services for the trip. A confirmation notice is sent to the employee user.
Abstract:
Human CDKL1 genes are identified as modulators of branching morphogenesis, and thus are therapeutic targets for disorders associated with defective branching morphogenesis function. Methods for identifying modulators of branching morphogenesis, comprising screening for agents that modulate the activity of CDKL1 are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus for simulating corrosion activity in liquid and vapor/condensate corrosion environments. The apparatus includes a container, including a lower region containing the liquid and an upper region, including a condenser, a heater for providing heat to the lower region such that the liquid is maintained at a given temperature, a vacuum pump for providing a partial vacuum at a given pressure in the upper region of the container, one corrosion probe removably positioned in the liquid, and a second corrosion probe removably positioned above the liquid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting high temperature corrosion of corrosion prone metal surfaces by organic acid-containing petroleum streams by providing an effective corrosion-inhibiting amount of 4-sulfophthalic acid, typically up to 1000 wppm, to the metal surface.
