Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes identifying caller data for a caller in a queue of callers, and jumping or moving the caller to a different position within the queue based on the caller data. The caller data may include one or both of demographic data and psychographic data. The caller can be jumped forward or backward in the queue relative to at least one other caller. Jumping the caller may further be based on comparing the caller data with agent data via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair outcome. Additionally, if a caller is held beyond a hold threshold (e.g., a time, “cost” function, or the like) the caller may be routed to the next available agent.

Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes routing a caller from a pool of callers based on at least one caller data associated with the caller, where a pool of callers includes, e.g., a set of callers that are not chronologically ordered and routed based on a chronological order or hold time of the callers. The caller may be routed from the pool of callers to an agent, placed in another pool of callers, or placed in a queue of callers. The caller data may include demographic or psychographic data. The caller may be routed from the pool of callers based on comparing the caller data with agent data associated with an agent via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair outcome. Additionally, if a caller is held beyond a hold threshold (e.g., a time, “cost” function, or the like) the caller may be routed to the next available agent.

Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes identifying caller data for at least one of a set of callers on hold and causing a caller of the set of callers to be routed to an agent based on a comparison of the caller data and the agent data. The caller data and agent data may be compared via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair having the highest probability of a desired outcome. As such, callers may be pooled and routed to agents based on comparisons of available caller and agent data, rather than a conventional queue order fashion. If a caller is held beyond a hold threshold the caller may be routed to the next available agent. The hold threshold may include a predetermined time, “cost” function, number of times the caller may be skipped by other callers, and so on.

A system and method for learning models from scarce and/or skewed training data includes partitioning a data stream into a sequence of time windows. A most likely current class distribution to classify portions of the data stream is determined based on observing training data in a current time window and based on concept drift probability patterns using historical information.

A job recommender method and a candidate recommender method apply two common classification techniques (K-nearest Neighbors and Classification Tree) to generate job recommendations for job seekers and candidate recommendations for employers. The invention further utilizes a matching algorithm to calculate the match degree between a particular job and a particular candidate, and to create an order of priority and relevancy for users. In addition, the matching algorithm enables a pay-for-performance payment method, which charges employers for receiving qualified candidates. The recommender and payment methods and system of the invention is accessible via a network, such a local area network, a wide area network, or the Internet.

An adjustable weight-loaded dip-chin machine. Dip bars and chin bars with means for vertical adjustment are mounted on columns, which in turn are mounted on a base. An arm is pivotally attached to the base, and weights can be added to an arm spindle attached to the arm. A belt is attached to the arm, and the weighted arm spindle resist upward exerciser motion when performing dips or chins. A pivot hook releasably engages the arm spindle in an elevated position for convenience and safety when commencing and ending a squat exercise series. Means are disclosed for adjusting the height of the pivot hook on a column, and for automatically disengaging the pivot hook from the arm spindle when exercise commences. A squat platform is sized to fit between foot platforms, which together form a stable standing area for the exerciser. Squat handles are height-adjustably mounted to the columns.

A weight adjusting structure of a golf club head comprises a 360-degree rotatable rotary table installed in a body of a golf club head, wherein the rotary table is combined with an incomplete annular weight block at a peripheral portion on an arbitrary side thereof, so that the rotary table and the weight block form a rotary table assembly whose weight orientation can be adjusted. The weighted rotary table assembly installed in the body of the golf club head can be used to adjust a distribution of different weights around 360 degrees, whereby a preferred location of the club head's gravity center can be set according to a golfer's swing posture and a location of the club head's gravity center the golfer is used to.

The invention relates to a method for adjusting distribution weights in a network comprising multiway routing or distribution tiers. Traffic on links or via nodes in which a threshold value for the volume of traffic is exceeded is reduced by adjusting the relative distribution weights within the distribution tiers. The inventive method allows shifting of distribution weights so as to obtain equal traffic distribution in the network. Disclosed are abort criteria in case the volume of traffic exceeds the capacity of the network. Traffic distribution which respects load thresholds of individual links represents a major step towards guaranteeing quality of service characteristics for telecommunication services provided via the Net.

A pop-up tackling practice machine has a base with a peripheral tube curved at each end for safety, and a plate covering an opening formed by the tube. Outside the tube, two inverted ears are centrally located on the base and extend upwardly and outwardly at oblique angles with respect to the plate. A bracket allows pivotable mounting of a T-shaped handle that may be grasped by a coach standing on the plate. A further bracket is also mounted on the plate to which a multiple use pad may be mounted. The further bracket is vertically adjustable for height adjustment, pivotable with respect to the plate, and the bracket permits rotation with respect to the plate. The underside of the plate has an elongated roller.

The invention is applicable to the field of medical image processing, and provides a dividing method based on the CT (Computed Tomography) image liver tumor focus. The method comprises the following steps of preprocessing an initial CT image; completing ROI selection on the suspected focus in an interactive way by aiming at the preprocessed CT image; performing texture description on the ROI based on a CT value, and obtaining probability spectrums of the ROI through weighted computation of texture descriptors; building a big data priori knowledge base, determining a focus region probability spectrum threshold value, and dividing the suspected focus based on the threshold value; and completing the volume statistics and the quantization output on the focus. The method has the advantages that a plurality of texture descriptor probability spectrums are obtained based on stable and comparable CT value calculation; meanwhile, the threshold value of the texture descriptor probability spectrums is obtained through manual division calculation based on the priori knowledge base; and the accuracy and the timeliness of the multi-domain liver tumor focus division in the CT image can be realized.

The invention relates to a large-sized adjustable container counterweight device comprising a base. A primary double-layer guide box with a sandwich structure and a plurality of secondary single-layer guide plates are arranged on the base, the secondary single-layer guide plates are at least partially accommodated in the sandwich structure in an adaptive way, the plurality of secondary single-layer guide plates are connected end to end so as to form an adjustable box body structure, and the base is also provided with double-stage oil cylinders matched with the primary double-layer guide box and the secondary single-layer guide plates.
