20110156734 | TEST SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TESTING ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Devices under test (DUTs) can be tested in a test system that includes an aligner and test cells. A DUT can be moved into and clamped in an aligned position on a carrier in the aligner. In the align position, electrically conductive terminals of the DUT can be in a predetermined position with respect to carrier alignment features of the carrier. The DUT/carrier combination can then be moved from the aligner into one of the test cells, where alignment features of the carrier are mechanically coupled with alignment features of a contactor in the test cell. The mechanical coupling automatically aligns terminals of the DUT with probes of the contactor. The probes thus contact and make electrical connections with the terminals of the DUT. The DUT is then tested. The aligner and each of the test cells can be separate and independent devices so that a DUT can be aligned in the aligner while other DUTs, having previously been aligned to a carrier in the aligner, are tested in a test cell. | 06-30-2011 |

In order to best cater such interests, the real estate service may perform the lead allocation by identifying current the geographic position of the client, and then comparing that position against current geographic positions of agents in geographic proximity to the client. In some instances, the real estate service identifies a certain number of most proximate agents and relays the client's request to such agents. When one of the agents responds to the request, that agent is assigned to the client. In some instances, the service then informs the client about the assignment, and also, in some instances, indicates an expected arrival time of the agent at the client's present location. | 07-28-2011 |
20110184875 | LEAD ALLOCATION IN REAL ESTATE APPLICATIONS USING DYNAMIC AGENT ALLOCATION WEIGHTAGES - An embodiment of lead allocation methodologies relates to dynamically assessing an allocation weightage of the real estate agents at the time an incoming client makes an agent request, and allocating an agent to the client based on a ranking of the allocation weightage. Each agent in a real estate service community comes with certain unique qualifications. Such qualifications could include expertise in specific factors. While some qualifications may stay constant, other qualifications, such as expertise, current client load, etc. vary with time and need to be periodically assessed. Additionally, the qualification of a given agent may also vary with respect to client characteristics. Accordingly, when a client makes a request for an agent, efficient lead allocation may be accomplished by dynamically assessing the status or qualifications of the agents at the time the request is made, and allocating the most qualified agent according to the dynamic assessment. | 07-28-2011 |
20110184876 | VIRTUAL BIDDING PLATFORM FOR LEAD ALLOCATION IN REAL ESTATE APPLICATIONS - In embodiments, the real estate service offers a virtual allocation platform to the real estate agents, allowing the agents to bid for an incoming client. In embodiments, the real estate service computes a ranking of the real estate agents and allows the real estate agents to bid for an incoming client. The real estate service evaluates a bid as a function of the allocation weightage (and corresponding ranking) of the agent and processes the bids in one of several ways. In some instances, the real estate service collects bids for a certain duration of time (e.g., 30 minutes after receiving the client request). The real estate service collects the bids and allocates the client to the bidder with the highest allocation weightage. In some instances, a tiered bidding system is utilized based on a ranking of the agents. | 07-28-2011 |

20090001677 | Dynamically Adjustable Panhard Bar - The invention is a panhard bar that can alter the tracking offset while the car is in motion, and allow the driver of the car the ability to change the tracking as the driver desires, thus improving the turning ability of the car as the track condition changes. The present invention mechanically lengthens or shortens the panhard bar thus moving the axle to the left or right. This then changes the tracking of the front to rear wheels. Adjusting means are placed in reach of the driver to accomplish the change. In another embodiment the adjustment means is not controlled by the driver, but rather by a characteristic reaction of the car. The adjustments means may respond to the front wheels turning to the left or right, to deceleration forces indicating a turn on the track is approaching, and to acceleration forces indicating the straightaway of the track is approaching. | 01-01-2009 |

20140211817 | MULTIPLEXING MULTIPLE SERIAL INTERFACES - An integrated circuit with two operating modes is described. During a first operating mode, a de-multiplexer selectively couples information received via a common set of pads to first control logic, which decodes the information based on a first serial-interface technique. Moreover, during a second operating mode, the de-multiplexer selectively couples a first portion of the information to the first control logic and a second portion of the information to second control logic, which decodes the second portion based on a second serial-interface technique. By facilitating time-domain de-multiplexing of two similar serial-interface techniques, the integrated circuit can overcome the constraints imposed by a low or limited pin count. | 07-31-2014 |
