Abstract: Threaded part (1), designed to be connected to a threaded hole (7) of an implant (6), which comprises a main threaded area (4) ending in a decreasing-width-provided threaded tip (5). The presence of the decreasing-width-provided threaded tip (5) has two beneficial effects: due to its decreasing width, the tip of the threaded part (1) may be inserted more easily in the threaded hole (7), even when the threaded part (1) enters the threaded hole (7) at a very pronounced angle; as it is threaded, the tip of the threaded part (1) can start to be threaded in the threaded hole (7) before the main threaded area (4), as a result of which the threaded part (1) tends to straighten itself as it is screwed in. The inventive threaded part (1) may be a prosthesis screw, a closure screw, an implant-bearing screw, a healing abutment, a transepithelial, etc.

Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for routing callers to agents in a contact center, along with an intelligent routing system. An exemplary process includes combining multiple output variables of a pattern matching algorithm (for matching callers and agents) into a single metric for use in the routing system. The pattern matching algorithm may include a neural network architecture, where the exemplary method combines output variables from multiple neural networks. The method may include determining a Z- score of the variable outputs and determining a linear combination of the determined Z- scores for a desired output. Callers may be routed to agents via the pattern matching algorithm to maximize the output value or score of the linear combination. Another process includes routing a caller, if agents are available, to an agent based on a pattern matching algorithm (which may include performance based matching, pattern matching based on agent and caller data, computer models for predicting outcomes of agent-caller pairs, and so on), and if no agents are available for the incoming caller, the method includes holding the caller in a shadow queue, e.g., a set of callers. When an agent becomes available the method includes scanning all of the callers in the shadow queue and matching the agent to the best matching caller within shadow queue.

Title: Reciprocally-cycled, externally-actuated weapon
Inventor: HOFFMAN BRIAN
IPC: F41A7/08
Filed: 2009-11-20
Abstract: A reciprocally-cycled, externally-powered weapon may include a rotative driver connected via a crank and connecting rod to the operating group of the weapon. The connecting rod may be connected to a pinion that meshes with a translating rack and a stationary rack. The translating rack may be connected to the operating group, and the stationary rack may be fixed to the receiver of the weapon. The energy needed to fire the weapon may be supplied by an energy generator. The minimum amount of energy supplied by the energy generator may be independent of the speed of translation of the operating group and may be sufficient to reliably result in cartridge ignition, thereby providing an infinitely adjustable firing rate.
