Personality traits displayed on a workbench are grouped into a character profile that is utilized in determining the personality and/or specific actions of a synthetic character. The personality traits are selectable by an operator from graduated dials. The personality traits may also be displayed in the form of selectable attributes or trait indicative behaviors that, when selected, are mapped into predetermined amounts of each trait in the character profile. The character profile is utilized to compute activation levels for primary behaviors, which are selected to influence or direct behavior of the synthetic character. Secondary behaviors are also selected, but discarded if conflicting with the selected primary behaviors. When behaviors are selected, the corresponding behaviors are translated into classes of ‘personality effectors’ that modulate the synthetic character's behavioral expression to reflect the desired set of traits.

A method is provided for unmanned control of at least one vehicle by a central processing unit. The central processing unit controls the at least one vehicle on a route determined by the central processing unit from a first location on the route to at least one second location on the route. The second location on the route is a parking site. The central processing unit further controls the vehicle so that the vehicle, after a parking operation at the second location, is provided automatically to a user for acceptance at a retrieval location as further location on the route. The route is calculated by the central processing unit dynamically depending on information concerning further routes for further vehicles managed by the central processing unit.

The present invention relates to a system and methods for facilitating the improvement of data quality generated during drug and medical device clinical trials. In one embodiment, the invention includes a system and method for generating an ideal subject suitability score for one or more interaction points of a clinical trial. One or more individual subject suitability scores may then be generated from actual subject interaction with the clinical trial for each of the interaction points of the clinical trial. For each interaction point for which an ideal subject suitability score is generated, the one or more individual subject suitability scores may be compared to the ideal subject suitability score to determine the deviation there between. The quality of data collected from actual subject interaction with the clinical trial may be a function of the difference between the individual and ideal subject suitability scores.

A system, method and data structures for transmitting batched data over a network in asynchronous, non-blocking operations, with acknowledgements returned to the senders. Each machine includes a sender subsystem and a receiver subsystem. Transmission items corresponding to data to be sent are buffered until a send is triggered, at which time the transmission items are sorted according to their destinations and sent as a GUID-identified batch to each destination by a send thread. At each receiver, a receiving thread adds descriptions of the data to a receive list, which a transfer thread processes when triggered. The transfer thread sends the corresponding data to a recipient program, and sends GUID-identified acknowledgements corresponding to each GUID back to the originating senders. An acknowledge thread at each originating sender buffers the acknowledgements, and when triggered, a cleanup thread uses the GUID to identify which batched transmissions were received.

Whenever a DSLAM or a network node receives a Group Join message, it compares the MAC address of the originating STB to that of previous Join messages with their existing connections. If a match is found, then the DSLAM will initiate a GSQ for the group of the matching previous Join request. If there is not enough resources to satisfy the requirements of Group Join messages, then it may either be ignored, or queued for later processing, once the normal GSQ sequence is complete and resources are available. If the multicast group is no longer needed, the connection to the group is then terminated, as per normal GSQ processing. This frees up bandwidth for any new Join messages. The normal GSQ processing clears the trouble caused by the loss of Leave Message.

Produced steam moves the steam turbines (12, 13), condenses into the water by means of condenser (15) and circulation pump (16) and then is moved by the pumps (17, 20) back to heat exchangers <<gas-water>> (5, 6, 7). At least one of gas turbines (22, 23, 24) is coupled by shaft with at least one of said pumps (16, 17, 20), and in steam turbines (12, 13) the channels are embodied for the heating medium. Said channels are embodied in the directing device of the steam turbine (12, 13) and/or in driving wheels of the steam turbine (12, 13). Said channels are series connected among them in a direction of a steam course in the turbine (12, 13). The gas after gas turbines (8, 9, 10, 22, 23, 24) is used besides heat exchangers (5, 6, 7) as said heating medium and after that moves into compressor (3). The nitrogen, air, helium, carbon dioxide or their mix are used as said gas.
