Fabric or garment with integrated flexible information infrastructure

A fabric, in the form of a woven or knitted fabric or garment, including a flexible information infrastructure integrated within the fabric for collecting, processing, transmitting and receiving information concerning-but not limited to-a wearer of the fabric. The fabric allows a new way to customize information processing devices to "fit" the wearer by selecting and plugging in (or removing) chips / sensors from the fabric thus creating a wearable, mobile information infrastructure that can operate in a stand-alone or networked mode. The fabric can be provided with sensors for monitoring physical aspects of the wearer, for example body vital signs, such as heart rate, EKG, pulse, respiration rate, temperature, voice, and allergic reaction, as well as penetration of the fabric. The fabric consists of a base fabric ("comfort component"), and an information infrastructure component which can consist of a penetration detection component, or an electrical conductive component, or both. The preferred penetration detection component is a sheathed optical fiber. The information infrastructure component can include, in addition to an electrically conductive textile yarn, a sensor or a connector for a sensor. A process is provided for making an electrical interconnection between intersecting electrically conductive yarns. Furthermore, a process is established for sheathing the plastic optical fiber and protecting it.

Method and system for selecting a preferred contact center agent based on agent proficiency and performance and contact center state

ActiveUS20050043986A1Good choiceHigh degree of impact on the center's operational effectivenessManual exchangesAutomatic exchangesTime informationOperational effectiveness
A method and system for selecting an agent to service a contact at a contact center accounts for the state of the contact center and for individual agent proficiency and performance. A software-implemented method includes an algorithm that adjusts the agent-selection process according to variations in state such as fluctuating call volume. When two or more metrics describe distinct aspects of an agent's performance and both aspects are relevant to agent selection, the algorithm can weigh each according to relative importance to the center's operational effectiveness. The present invention couples to the information infrastructure of a computer-based contact center and interfaces with the components of the center that acquire and maintain information pertinent to the agent-selection process. This connectivity delivers real-time information to the software algorithms and thereby facilitates rapid response to changing conditions.

Subfederation creation and maintenance in a federation infrastructure

A computational system determines that a joining node in the federation infrastructure desires to join an identified subfederation within the federation infrastructure. The system accesses the joining node's group table, where the group table includes membership information identifying subfederations within the federation infrastructure. Each node in the federation maintains neighborhood information for each subfederation of which the node is aware. The system determines that no entry for the identified subfederation exists in the joining node's group table and, based on the determination, routes a group join message to a rendezvous point within the federation infrastructure. The rendezvous point checks its group table for an entry corresponding to the identified subfederation. The system also receives an indication from the rendezvous point indicating that the rendezvous point's group table does not include a corresponding entry for the identified subfederation and that the joining node is the first member of the identified subfederation.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that allows secure deployment delegation and management of applications in a distributed-computing infrastructure. During operation, the system assigns a deployment-role to a user, which enables the user to deploy an application in the distributed-computing infrastructure. Moreover, by assigning the deployment-role to the user, the system also delegates the privilege to assign a run-time-role to the application. Note that the set of run-time roles a user is allowed to assign (or grant) can depend on the deployment role that has been assigned to the user. Furthermore, assigning the run-time-role to the application grants permission to the application to access a resource in the shared infrastructure, which allows the application to operate properly. Furthermore, note that by delegating to users the privilege of assigning roles to applications simplifies the secure deployment and management of applications in the distributed-computing infrastructure.

Method and device for coordinating dynamic interference between neighboring cells of wireless communication system

The invention provides a method for defining home information infrastructure (HII) and a scheme for coordinating dynamic interference of multi-point cooperation between cells in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system based on HII. In the scheme, co-scheduling is performed between the neighboring cells by using the HII mechanism, so that the interference between the cells is suppressed, and the throughput rate and the quality of service (QoS) level of a cell-edge user are effectively improved. Particularly, a base station generates an HII list for each main interference neighboring cell and periodically transmits the list to the base station of the interference neighboring cell. Meanwhile, when the base station is subjected to uplink scheduling, the HII list of the cell per se is updated according to the HII list transmitted by the interference neighboring cell, and the user is scheduled according to the list and the channel condition.
