Appl. No.:

10/251136

Inventors:

Nigel A. Browne - Jersey City NJ, US
Steven M. Silverstein - West Long Branch NJ, US

Assignee:

Avaya Technology Corp. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04M 3/523
H04Q 3/64

US Classification:

37926502, 37926607

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for processing communications in a communication system switch in which one or more processing scripts are selected for application to one or more communications in accordance with weightings assigned to at least a subset of the processing scripts. Measurements are determined for one or more switch resources, such as central processing unit (CPU) utilization, associated with processing of the communications using the processing scripts, and the processing script weightings are periodically adjusted in accordance with the determined measurements. The system resource measurements may be generally characterized as comprising resource limit measurements, business objective measurements, or other types of measurements. The invention facilitates the processing of communications in the system switch and provides improved efficiency and reliability.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking user access to an advertisement and user transactions with an electronic commerce computer associated with the advertisement. In accordance with one aspect of the disclosed technology, a transaction tracking computer associates an identifier with each access (e. g. , click) of an advertisement. Transactions that occur at the electronic commerce computer that are related to the advertisement will be reported to the transaction tracking server together with the identifier. In one embodiment, if the reported transaction is a duplicate of a previously reported transaction, then the reported transaction is determined to be invalid. In one embodiment, if the reported transaction occurs more than a predetermined amount of time after the time the identifier was initially generated, then the reported transaction will also be determined to be invalid.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

8/543171

Inventors:

Steven Silverstein - Stony Point NY
Michael J. Heinrich - Upper Nyack NY

International Classification:

G10D 902

US Classification:

84383R

Abstract:

A ligature for affixing a reed to the mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument, primarily saxophones and clarinets. A spiral of non-stretching cord, with a mechanism for defining the spiral's shape and for providing a way of tightening it, extends around the reed and the mouthpiece. The mechanism is suspended and tightened by a vertical bridge and an integral puller assembly. The spiral cord passes through holes in the puller. The puller is raised by way of a tightening nut through a non-resonant bridge all of which tightens the spiral cord to firmly hold the reed to the mouthpiece. The bridge bears down against the mouthpiece which applies force to the bridge's contact points. The tension of each wrap of the spiral is equalized by the forces upon the bridge and the puller's design. The spiral cord is damped from extraneous vibration by use of spacing combs and by way of this self equalizing design.
