A system and method for automatically measuring, aggregating, analysing, predicting exact effort and time productivity, of white collar employees, within an organization and thereafter providing instructions for improving productivity and workload allocation, and optimizing workforce and operational efficiency, without requiring manual intervention or configuration, is described. The system captures all the work effort put on by the users. The system tracks the daily time spent by employees. This is mapped to activities and objectives that are automatically inferred based on the applications and artifacts being used, the source of offline time usage, and the employee's position in the organization and role therein. The captured individual work effort is mapped to the organization's hierarchy and business attributes. As a result, Work Patterns and trends within each sub-unit / operational dimension of the business are identified.

A mid-point call management node subject to monitoring through a workstation communicatively coupled thereto, provides call services (e.g., through extensible markup language (XML), and in particular call control extensible markup language (CCXML) and / or voice extensible markup language (VXML), instructions) for an inbound call received from an originating network at an originating point-of-presence (POP) associated with multiple, disparate call centers, the call services being provided in response to call management application instructions issued according to enterprise-specific strategies for optimizing call handling between the originating POP and domestic and / or international ones of the disparate call centers communicatively coupled thereto. Call center information (e.g., call load information) received at the management node from the multiple call centers may be used in connection with providing the call services. The enterprise-specific strategies may be instantiated as processes for: call routing, load balancing, work force management, and / or customer relationship management.

A computer-implement method and the associated system of computing resources provides an automated work force management capability that optimizes work assignments for individual workers using work force management techniques in combination with social networking analysis (SNA). The work force management attributes are enhanced using SNA. Bipartite graphing processes are used to match the socially enhance worker attributes with the work requirements. By combining the social networking information with the work force management attributes, work assignments are optimized. This optimization exploits historical social interactions between workers and combines their influence with the skills and other work force attributes of each worker required for job performance.

A locking device for a lock cylinder (12) has an electronically controlled inhibiting element (2), which in an inhibit position (x.sub.S) blocks movement of a rotor (1) relative to a stator (6) and frees the rotor (1) in a free position (x.sub.F). A drive (9) exerts a working force (F.sub.A) on the inhibiting element (2), by which inhibiting element (2) can be reversibly transferred from the inhibit position (x.sub.S) into the free position (x.sub.F) and vice versa. A guide (52-57) is connected to the drive (9) and, at least outside the free position (x.sub.F), clearly defines the position of the inhibiting element (2). A restoring device (3) exerts a restoring force (F.sub.R) directed away from the free position (x.sub.F) on the inhibiting element (2), when that element is between the free position (x.sub.F) and a rest position (x.sub.O). In the rest position (x.sub.O) and in positions between the rest position (x.sub.O) and the free position (x.sub.F), the inhibiting element inhibits movement of the rotor (1). The locking device is resistant to external, undesired vibration and / or shock effects or magnetic action.

Spaced apart rungs or tabs on the bottom of the sprayer boom provide openings through which sprayer nozzles are aimed while the nozzles, hoses and connectors remain mostly recessed within the boom which provides physical protection from wind and other damage and still allows easy access for repair.

A panel-type subfloor assembly for an anchored / resilient floor includes a plurality of elongated panels laid end-to-end in parallel rows along a first direction, the panels having elongated slots formed therein that are oriented at an oblique angle relative to the first direction. For the entire floor, this results in a plurality of aligned rows of elongated slots oriented at an oblique angle relative to the first direction. Each slot cooperates with an elongated fastener, namely an elongated dual flanged channel held by at least one pin. The fastener is positioned within the respective slot and adapted to hold the respective panel to the base along two longitudinal edges of the slots, in a manner that limits upward movement of the panel while permitting downward deflection. The slots are longitudinally and transversely oversized relative to the flanges of the fastener, and preferably each fastener is secured to the base via only a single pin. This promotes self-alignment of fasteners and the floor in response to lateral sheer forces, thereby resulting in floor with a high degree of structural integrity that is able to withstand substantial lateral sheer forces and / or vertically directed forces. An upper wear layer is secured to the panel-type subfloor. Compared to other panel-type anchored / resilient floors, the floor of this invention simplifies and reduces installation and handling time, resulting in reduced labor costs. The structure itself also provides high strength and durability, but with reduced quantity and cost of materials.
