A system, method, and computer program product for dynamically adapting selections in an automatic phone support system is described. The invention may integrate a dynamic knowledge base of responses with the menu selections on an automated phone system or other response system to present the most frequently used items earlier in the option list, or otherwise order options and information. Call data may be captured from single callers or historical ensembles of callers. An automatically generated similarity relationship may be used to initialize the system without historical call data, based on textual similarity or other techniques. Prioritization of options provides a more enjoyable, efficient experience for callers without increasing administrative overhead.

A remote user interface provides a full motion, full-color, dynamic interface with complex visuals without imposing heavy hardware requirements on a consumer electronics device. Instead, the hardware requirements are placed on another computer device that is designated as a media server. The media server generates the complex UI, encodes the UI into one or more compressed video frames, and transmits the compressed video frames to the CE device. The CE device plays the UI video as it would any other video. User inputs for interacting with the UI are transmitted and interpreted by the media server. The media server updates the UI images based on the interaction.

Selecting from currently available television programs or other commercial broadcasts is enabled by clustering the broadcasts on the basis of program categories and by simultaneously displaying video information from all of the broadcasts. The channels through which the commercial broadcasts are received are monitored in order to detect any changes in program categorization. Thus, the clustering of the broadcasts is dynamic with respect to the number of broadcasts in the different clusters. Each broadcast is displayed as a reduced-scale presentation that is based upon the video information specific to the broadcasts. In one embodiment, at least one of the clusters can be split into sub-clusters, such as splitting a movie cluster or a sports cluster on the basis of genres. Optionally, the different reduced-scale presentations are continuously updated, other than during commercial times.

Natural joint interfaces wear out and / or are damaged causing pain and disability. They can be currently replaced by artificial surfaces made of materials or in the near future by magnetic fields. They would benefit from a PVES (paramagnetic visco-viscoelastic supplement) that can replace or augment natural joint interfaces or augment total joint replacements. Joint replacement components can be modular and would benefit from a PVES to decrease wear and damp impact between modular parts of a single component. The PVES is a dynamic interface allowing components to be less rigid. Energy transmission is reduced. PVES can act as an interface between natural damaged joint surfaces obviating the need for classic total joint replacement or between the surfaces of artificial joint components to improve or supplement their function. These PVES can be controlled by magnetic fields with respect to their location, physical properties, loads, etc. PVES are typically made of paramagnetic ions and a substrate molecule. One such PVES can be made of gadolinium ions and hyaluronic acid to form gadolinium hyaluronate.

A thrust bearing assembly including a ring-like support structure having a castellated end configuration, a ring-like dynamic race, and a ring-like thrust washer sandwiched between the castellated end configuration and the dynamic race. The castellated end configuration defines a plurality of support regions and a plurality of notches between adjacent support regions. The thrust washer sits atop the castellations of the support structure. The castellated end configuration of the support structure provides intermittent support regions and intermittent unsupported regions to the thrust washer. When a thrust load is applied to the bearing assembly, the thrust washer elastically flexes at the unsupported regions and creates undulations in the washer's dynamic surface to create an initial hydrodynamic fluid wedge with respect to a mating surface of the dynamic race. The gradually converging geometry created by these undulations promotes a strong hydrodynamic action that wedges a lubricant film of a predictable magnitude into the dynamic interface between the thrust washer and the dynamic race in response to relative rotation. This lubricant film physically separates the dynamic surfaces of the thrust washer and dynamic race from each other, thus minimizing asperity contact, and reducing friction, wear and bearing-generated heat, while permitting operation at higher load and speed combinations.
