A meeting negotiation system provides a new approach to scheduling events by negotiating schedules while preserving privacy through a shared representation that separates the meeting negotiation from the meeting invitation. The negotiation system integrates all scheduling-related information such as times users can meet, location, etc. and reduces dependency on designations of time as free or busy by a potential meeting attendee. Consequently, the negotiation system enables time preferences richer than just free or busy, allowing potential meeting attendees to designate preference in addition to time available. The negotiation system supports annotations and comments as a discussion mechanism, giving feedback to the meeting scheduler before the meeting invitation is issued. Possible times provided for the meeting are provided in the form of a bounded negotiation; participants may select the best time for them to attend a meeting from the bounded negotiation. The meeting organizer finalizes the meeting time from the responses provided by participants.

An automated method of managing or constructing a portfolio comprising at least one financial instrument defining portfolio attributes, the method using a system comprising a processor, a display and an input device. The method comprises defining at least one objective representing a desired state for the portfolio attributes and defining a set of constraints that are defined in relation to a computable, desired state of portfolio attributes in relation to the at least one objective. A constraints analysis module based upon the set of constraints is generated and provided to the processor. The portfolio is evaluated with the processor using the constraints analysis module and the state of the portfolio attributes based upon the evaluation is displayed. At least one option for altering portfolio attributes in order to more effectively meet the at least one objective is simultaneously displayed. The option is displayed with an interactive user input mechanism that allows for selection of an option and automatic evaluation and display of the state of the portfolio attributes due to selection of the option.

A powered air cleaning system has a flow path extending through the system from an inlet to an outlet. A motor-driven fan is located along the flow path to draw particulate debris laden air into the inlet and rotate it about an axis to form a rotating flow that stratifies the debris laden air with the heaviest particles in the outermost orbits of the rotating flow. An ejector port ejects particulate debris laden air from the stratified rotating flow in the system. At least one de-swirl component located within the rotating flow aerodynamically redirects clean air from the innermost orbits of the stratified rotating flow toward the outlet to provide a positive airflow pressure out of the outlet. The system has a variable speed fan motor and an integrated controller for adjusting the speed of the motor and thereby the flow rate of clean air through the outlet of the system. The controller receives a signal that is a function of airflow requirements of a device supplied with clean air by the system. The system can be mounted above or below a hood housing an engine to be supplied with clean air.

A reusable business performance management integration framework provides high performance and maximum efficiency for data transfer of general ledger data. The system issues commands to extract data from a named data source and then processes, tracks, prepares and delivers the data to a named system designation. The system identifies unique data intersections and synchronizes and/or reloads data against data intersection patterns without the use of primary keys. Integration templates may be applied to the basic framework. Each template contains the map for data transmission between a given general ledger system and the destination application type.

If an end-user of a wireless information device has a support requirement, he opens a data connection from his device to a customer support computer; the data connection remains open whilst the device progresses up a queue of an automated queuing system connected to the customer support computer. A predefined action is initiated that meets the support requirement before the device reaches the top of the queue or when the device reaches the top of the queue.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for scheduling requests having priorities and deadlines for an I/O operation on a disk storage medium. Requests are normally arranged and processed in deadline order, and requests whose process times based on deadlines overlap each other are processed in priority order. Therefore, it is possible to prevent processing of any requests having relatively higher priorities from being delayed due to a process based on deadline order. Further, in order to minimize seek time, the requests may also be processed in the scanning order. Furthermore, in order to minimize a time required for performing request search and arrangement in the scanning order and the deadline order, a deadline queue where requests are arranged in deadline order and a scan order queue where requests are arranged in the scanning order may be separately prepared.

A re-fueling station is provided for selectively dispensing fuel in the form of liquefied gas or compressed gas. The re-fueling station comprises a storage tank within which liquefied gas may be stored; a dispensing system comprising: (a) a first dispenser for dispensing compressed gas; (b) a second dispenser for dispensing liquefied gas; (c) a heat exchanger operable to transfer heat to the fuel; (d) a flow diverter operable to receive fuel through an inlet and selectively direct fuel through one of a first outlet or a second outlet; (e) conduits through which fuel may flow from the first outlet to the heat exchanger and then to the first dispenser, or from the second outlet to the second dispenser; and, (f) a positive displacement fuel pump operable to draw fuel from the storage tank and discharge fuel to the inlet of the flow diverter. A method of operating the re-fueling station comprises operating the fuel pump in a low speed mode when fuel is directed to said first dispenser to supply compressed gas and operating the fuel pump in a high speed mode when fuel is directed to the second dispenser to supply liquefied gas.

Digital data obtained by converting, by an AID converter, an angular velocity measured by a sensor is transmitted from a remote control to a game machine. A CPU of the game machine corrects the digital data. That is, the CPU sequentially stores sequential digital data in a buffer. A stable range (d1-d2) in which each digital data can be defined to be stable is calculated for the latest digital data. An average value of those of the digital data stored in the buffer that are consecutively present in the stable range retrogressively from the latest digital data is calculated. Using the average value, the latest digital data is corrected.
