A call center for handling requests for medical transportation utilizes a system that assists a call center agent by automatically determining, or prompting the agent to ask for, all information needed to assess the level of service required and the effects of any applicable contractual provisions. The system captures information relating to the patient and the requested transportation, and applies service level rules representing the applicable regulatory requirements for medical transportation at the location of the patient to determine the required level of service based on the patient's condition and needs. The system further applies business rules representing the contractual provisions that are applicable to the requested transportation to determine responsibility for the cost of transportation, the authority of the requester to change the level of service or other aspects of the transportation, and the responsibility for the cost of transportation in the event that an aspect of the transportation has been changed.

A method and system to provide optimizing shipping costs that can help arbitrate between a precise solution at an unreasonable cost and a reasonable solution at a very reasonable cost. In one aspect, a method includes: receiving data related to delivering shipments to a set of recipients at separate addresses; generating a first shipping option to deliver shipments to a first sub-set of the recipients within a first time period, and to deliver shipments to a second sub-set of recipients within a second time period that is greater than the first time period, shipments to the second sub-set of recipients being a greater distance than shipments to the first sub-set of recipients, the first shipping option provides a cost of shipping savings relative to shipping to all of the recipients within the first time period; and presenting the first shipping option in a user interface to a user for selection.

An integrated method is developed to utilise to a maximum extent the fresh biomass of seaweeds such as Kappaphycus alvarezii that can be crushed to release sap and where the sap is useful as a potent liquid fertilizer after suitable treatment with additives and dilution while the residue is a superior raw material for extraction of kappa-carrageenan, thereby enhancing the value of the seaweed. Other advantages of the invention include a reduced drying time and drying area to obtain the raw material for kappa-carrageenan production in dry and storable form, a reduced cost of transporting and storing this raw material because of its lesser bulk, easier handling due to its free flowing granular nature, and its direct use for gel preparation in certain applications.

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of logistics management, and discloses a vehicle transportation planning method and a device, an electronic device and a readable storagemedium. The vehicle transportation planning method comprises the following steps: determining all the transportation sections according to the obtained distribution center location, the collection ofdistribution locations and the energy supply station location of the transportation vehicles; A transport planning model is established according to all the transport sections and the number of the obtained transport vehicles and the working mode of the transport vehicles, wherein, the transport planning model includes an objective function of the electric energy cost and the fuel energy cost consumed by the transport vehicles on the traveling transport sections; The transportation planning model is solved based on a preset algorithm, and the lowest energy cost for completing the transportation task is determined. In the invention, by constructing a model for solving, the solution with the lowest transportation energy cost can be provided for vehicles of different scales and distributionlocations.

The invention discloses a steel-wood integration I-beam, which is composed of wooden beam, wherein the force type steel is connected to two lateral surfaces in the wooden beam length direction; two ends of wooden beam connects to roll end; the I-beam uses extrusion steel plate teeth and fastener to make the section steel and timber compact for one body; the steel-wood integration I-beam has stronger hardness, good versatility, which is fit for supporting of building form plate such as steel-wood mold plates, steel form, bamboo plywood and so on; the cost of the steel-wood integration I-beam is 50% aluminum alloy beam, 85% steel beam and 95% wood girder; The I-beam reduces the cost of transport and storage.

A computer housing includes a foldable frame and a face panel. The frame is disposed for mounting a motherboard, an optical disk drive, and a power supply, and includes two first housing panels and two second housing panels that are connected pivotally and surroundingly as a whole. The frame is foldable into a folded state, where the first and second housing panels are turned pivotally to be proximate to each other so as to reduce the size of the frame, as well as the space and material required for packaging the frame, thereby saving costs of transport and packaging material.

The present invention provides a method for producing dried bio-cellulose which, according to one embodiment of the present invention, prevents contamination caused by microorganisms during the transport and production processes, does not require an additional anti-microorganism system in the production process, and can reduce the cost of transport and production by being stored at room temperature for a long time. Also, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the dried bio cellulose can be used as a cosmetic or pharmaceutical material for delivering medicinal substances through prompt gelation in several seconds or minutes.

The present invention relates to boxes, particularly boxes formed from polymer materials, especially expanded polystyrene (EPS) or other expanded polymer materials. However, the invention is applicable to boxes generally, including those formed from cardboard, board, wood, metal, etc. Boxes formed from EPS or other expanded polymer materials are used in vast numbers for a huge range of purposes. For example, such boxes are used generally as transport containers, for transporting all manner of goods, including raw and processed food, plants, electrical products, chemical products, pharmaceutical products, and biological materials. Boxes formed from such materials have many advantages, including low manufacturing cost, thermal insulation properties, low density, and impact resistance. However, boxes that cannot be collapsed to a flat configuration for transportation when empty suffer from the disadvantage that the cost of their transportation (when empty) is generally significant in comparison to their manufacturing cost. While the use of boxes that can be collapsed flat for transportation when empty can solve this problem in some situations, such collapsible boxes are not suitable for all purposes nor universally adopted, wherever appropriate, in view of the fact that despite collapsible boxes having been available for many years, non-collapsible boxes are still used in vast numbers. The present invention seeks to provide a solution to the above problems and provides an improved box with sidewall having gaps to enable boxes to fit together in an overlapping configuration.

A electronic method for monitoring one or more destination ramps in a manufacturing enterprise which manufactures a number of products for purchase through a number of dealers. The method includes the steps of receiving ramp profile information for one or more destination ramps and daily activity information for the one or more destinations ramps; and calculating a carrying cost for each of the one or more destination ramps based on the daily activity information.

The invention provides a drinking water packaging container, and belongs to the field of drinking water containers. The drinking water packaging container comprises a container body with a bottleneck and a container cover used for sealing the container body, wherein the container cover covers the bottleneck; a filter comprising at least two filter layers is arranged at the bottleneck; and all filter layers are arranged at intervals in an axis direction of the container body.
