20130116126 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND MODIFYING CARBONACEOUS COMPOSITIONS - This invention generally relates to natural gas and methylotrophic energy generation, bio-generated fuels and microbiology. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides nutrient amendments and microbial compositions, e.g., consortia, that are both specifically optimized to stimulate methanogenesis, or for “methylotrophic” or other conversions. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods to develop nutrient amendments and microbial compositions that are both specifically optimized to stimulate methanogenesis in a given reservoir. The invention also provides methods for the evaluation of potentially damaging biomass formation and scale precipitation resulting from the addition of nutrient amendments. In other embodiments, the invention provides methods for simulating biogas in sub-surface conditions using a computational model. | 05-09-2013 |

20090255310 | MULTI-DIRECTIONALLY SWEPT BEAM, ROLL FORMER, AND METHOD - A high-strength beam includes first and second sections bent in opposite directions as part of a roll-forming process. A frame includes side frame members incorporating the double-bent beam and at least one energy management tube attached to the beam. In one form, the beam is tubular and has a cross-sectional dimension of greater than 25 mm and a material strength of at least about 60 KSI tensile strength. A roll form apparatus includes a roll former device and a sweep station in-line with the roll former device for sweeping the continuous beam in first and second opposing directions. Also, a method of roll-forming comprises steps of: roll-forming a sheet of material into a continuous beam and sweeping first and second sections of the beam in opposite directions. | 10-15-2009 |
20110067472 | Roll Former With Three-Dimensional Sweep Unit - An apparatus includes, in combination, a roll former with rolls configured to form a structural beam from sheet material, and a sweep unit for longitudinally sweeping a beam in any of vertical, horizontal, or combination directions. The sweep unit has a first pair of forming rolls positioned to engage first opposing sides of the structural beam and has a second pair of forming rolls positioned to engage second opposing sides of the structural beam. The sweep unit movably supports the first and second pairs of forming rolls so that any selected one of the forming rolls continuously engages an associated side of the structural beam while an associated one of the forming rolls opposing the selected one forming roll moves downstream and around the selected one forming roll. This provides a very stable beam-bending condition promoting dimensional stability during the sweeping process, and hence dimensional accuracy and repeatability. | 03-24-2011 |
20110067473 | Method of Forming Three-Dimensional Multi-Plane Beam - A method includes, in combination, a roll former with rolls configured to form a structural beam from sheet material, and a sweep unit for longitudinally sweeping a beam in any of vertical, horizontal, or combination directions. The sweep unit has a first pair of forming rolls positioned to engage first opposing sides of the structural beam and has a second pair of forming rolls positioned to engage second opposing sides of the structural beam. The sweep unit movably supports the first and second pairs of forming rolls so that any selected one of the forming rolls continuously engages an associated side of the structural beam while an associated one of the forming rolls opposing the selected one forming roll moves downstream and around the selected one forming roll. This provides a very stable beam-bending condition promoting dimensional stability during the sweeping process, and hence dimensional accuracy and repeatability. | 03-24-2011 |

20100080377 | METHOD FOR REDUCING NON-VALUE ADDED TIME BETWEEN CALLS SERVICED AT A CALL CENTER - A method for reducing non-value added time between calls serviced at a call center includes selectively enabling an after-call-work state that is configured to be activated during a call from a subscriber vehicle when an advisor at the call center indicates a need for the after-call-work state. If the advisor does not activate the after-call-work state during the call, then upon completion of the call, automatically setting an operator station of the advisor to a call ready state. If, however, the advisor activates the after-call-work state during the call, then upon completion of the call, the method includes activating the after-call-work state. | 04-01-2010 |
20120219142 | CALL TRANSFER PROCESS AND SYSTEM - A call transfer process involves receiving a voice call at a call center from a caller, and initially servicing the voice call by a call center advisor. The servicing includes obtaining information from the caller pertaining to a purpose for which the voice call was made. Via the advisor, the method further involves answering at least one question pertaining to the voice call, where the question(s) is/are generated by a computer program run by a processor connected to an advisor workstation and is/are presented to the advisor on the advisor workstation during the voice call. Based on answer(s) to the question(s) and via the computer program, a particular department associated with the call center is recommended that is capable of further servicing the voice call. The voice call is transferred to the recommended department. Also disclosed herein is a system for accomplishing the same. | 08-30-2012 |
