Abstract: A call center is configured such that call selection and/or agent selection processes may be based at least in part on stored information regarding agent schedules, such as scheduled break times, training sessions, ends of shifts or other events for the agents. In an illustrative embodiment, schedule information is stored for at least one of the call center agents, and a communication is selected for delivery to the agent based at least in part on the stored schedule information for that agent. For example, a call selection process in the call center may be modified for a designated period of time before a scheduled break of a given agent such that the call selected for delivery to that agent is likely to be completed in the time remaining until the scheduled break. As another example, an agent selection process in the call center may be modified for a designated period of time before a scheduled break such that the agent selected to process a given call is one likely to complete the call in the time remaining until the scheduled break. The designated time period may vary depending on factors such as the type of scheduled event, or the type of agent. As another example, the modified selection process may run continuously, such that the stored agent schedule information is always active as a consideration in call selection and agent selection. The call center may be configured to select a call or other communication without reference to the stored agent schedule information under specified conditions, such as, for example, a staffing shortfall or an unusually heavy call volume.

Title: Method for transferring data
Inventor: ROLLENDER DOUGLAS HAROLD
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2000-02-17
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: The method for transferring data sends the data as part of first and second permanent identifiers during a communication procedure prior to establishing a traffic channel in the communication system. Besides the data, the first permanent identifier includes routing information to a home system forming part of the communication system. The second permanent identifier is an expanded permanent identifier with the data forming at least part of the expanded portion thereof.

Abstract: A bait station for containing rat poison contains a housing (12, 13); at least one opening (15) in the housing for a rat to enter; and a bait position (16) in the housing for locating poisoned bait. A divider (18) is provided between the bait position (16) and each opening (15) to prevent direct access to the bait from the opening, for example by a child.  However, there are at least two different routes from the bait position (16) leading to openings (15). Research has shown that rats, unlike mice, prefer not to eat in a confined space and it is believed that the choice of escape routes offered by the bait station of the invention encourages a rat to eat more of the bait. The bait station may include a hinged lid (13) with locking means (24, 25) to prevent tampering with the bait.   I

Title: Increasing levels of growth regulator and/or water stress during embryo development
Inventor: ATTREE STEPHEN M
IPC: A01H4/00
Filed: 1999-06-03
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: The invention comprises methods for producing mature desiccated and desiccation-tolerant somatic embryos, particularly conifer embryos. The methods include the application of a growth-promoting hormone such as abscisic acid (ABA) to the immature embryos during development.  The embryos are also water stressed during development.  The concentration of the ABA undergoes a net increase relative to its initial concentration to reach a peak prior to discontinuing ABA treatment when the embryos have attained a moisture content of between 32 and 550. The water stressing may remain constant or may undergo a net increase in intensity over the period of time during which it is applied to the embryos. The method may optionally include the further water stressing of the mature embryos to further reduce moisture contents of the embryos preferably to the level at which the embryos are tolerant of freezer storage.
