| 20080235074 | Method for Forecasting and Managing Multimedia Contacts - Multimedia contacts are forecasted, propagated, and managed for each period in a range. The number of contacts received in a period is forecasted using historical methods and is propagated to succeeding periods based on the business goals, such as how quickly a certain contact type is to be handled. After the contacts have been propagated, a total contacts to handle is determined for each period, and the staffing requirements are calculated therefrom. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080300953 | Workforce management system with fairness scheduling - A workforce management system implements enhanced any-day-of-the-week or holiday fairness processing. The system provides one or more display interfaces indexed by day of week or given holiday dates, and through which a user defines a fairness policy with respect to each such day or dates. In use, the system compares a fairness policy with historical credit data to generate a rank order of agent eligibility to fulfill a contact center schedule for a given day or holiday date. This rank order of agent availability is then provided to a scheduler to enable generation of one or more contact center schedules for the given day or holiday date. The day of week and holiday fairness may be carried out independently or combined. The system also enables fairness days or dates to be processed according to a user-defined priority. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090016650 | HANDHELD IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A handheld inspection apparatus for inspecting an object in a non-contact manner is provided, the apparatus comprising: a telecentric lens arrangement comprising a telecentric lens arranged to collect light rays projected or reflected from an object to be inspected; a mobile image sensing device such as a CCD digital camera arranged with respect to the telecentric lens to receive the lights rays collected by the telecentric lens and convert these into an image representative of the object, wherein the telecentric lens is arranged such that movement of the apparatus in a direction away from or towards the object causes the image to remain of the same size on the image sensing device. Preferably an illumination unit is provided which is detachably mounted on the camera and is interchangeable depending on the purpose. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100055941 | System and method for connecting flat flx cable with an integrated circuit, such as a camera module - A Flat Flex Connector (FFC) has connector flanges embedded in its insulated electrical traces. The flanges engage electrical circuits in a camera module such as a CMOS or CCD and are clamped into electrical engagement. The opposite end of the FFC makes electrical contact with another electrical device such as a semiconductor circuit. The assembly allows electrical connection of two or more devices in a confined space in which the electrical device are not easily aligned for electrical contact. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100075514 | Method of making electrical connector on a flexible carrier - A compliant, scalable, thermal-electrical-mechanical, flexible electrical connector. In one configuration, the flexible electrical connector comprises a flexible substrate, a first and second conductive layer, and a plating contiguously applied over the conductive layers and holes through the substrate. The first and second conductive layers are adhered to opposite sides of the flexible substrate and have a plurality of raised contact elements in registration with at least a subset of the holes. At least some contact elements on the first and second conductive layers that oppose each other are in electrical communication with one another by way of the plating. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100167561 | Structure and process for a contact grid array formed in a circuitized substrate - An elastic contact array circuitized substrate includes a circuitized substrate provided with circuit traces, and an array of three dimensional contact elements joined to the circuitized substrate and electrically coupled to the circuit traces. In one configuration, the array of three dimensional contacts are formed in a spring sheet material having anisotropic grains whose long direction is selected with respect to the longitudinal direction of elastic contact arms, in accordance with desired properties. In another configuration of the invention, the circuit traces are formed integrally within the spring sheet material. | 07-01-2010 |
