Abstract: An elevator load bearing member includes a plurality of load bearing wires, a polymer-based conductive adhesive coating on each of the plurality of the wires, and a jacket surrounding the wires. The jacket is adhered to the wires by the polymer-based conductive adhesive coating. A method of making a load bearing member for an elevator system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A computing device retrieves a stabilized weight and a weight-based item count for one or more items to be purchased. Responsive to retrieving the stabilized weight, the computing device retrieves an image-based item count and an expected weight based on the image-based item count for the one or more items to be purchased. The computing device selects between authorizing and blocking checkout of the one or more items based on the weight-based item count, the image-based item count, the stabilized weight, and the expected weight.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for applying lifecycle processes to digital data objects utilizing blockchain and artificial intelligence. Embodiments of the systems and methods provide for interacting with a digital data object from a variety of different source systems as well as dynamically modifying particular attributes associated with the digital data objects based on real-time information and/or user-specified requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus for shrouding the coated field joint area of connected line pipe segments, the shroud having first and second housing halves which have end walls which cooperate to form registering openings matching the diameter of the pipe to be shrouded, the housing halves forming a chamber. The housing can be of a clamshell design, being hinged on one side and having hasps, latches or the like on the other side to keep the shroud positioned once it is placed around the coated field joint area of a pipeline. An environment monitor is disposed in the chamber to measure conditions such as relative humidity and temperature.

Abstract: Re-sealable lid films and labels include cut patterns of different dimension in upper and lower material layers, whereby when an upper layer of material is peeled back, a bottom layer portion is exposed. Exposure of the bottom layer portion advantageously exposes printed indicia viewable on or through the bottom layer portion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus relating to an interconnection system configured for a portable electronic device. The interconnection system includes an interface connector having a power port configured to be positioned at a peripheral portion of the portable electronic device. The interconnection system is directed to a latching contact mechanism that provides both electrical engagement and a latching mechanism between a power connector and the interface connector disposed in the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the co-planarity between conductive structures exposed in an interface connector for a portable electronic device. The interface connector includes an elongate housing having a front surface and a bottom surface. The front surface is configured to be at least partially exposed at a peripheral portion of the portable electronic device. The front surface defines port openings in the elongate housing and the bottom surface defines plate openings therein. The plate openings are configured to receive and retain conductive structures and are configured to be at least partially exposed at the bottom surface of the elongate housing and at least partially exposed at the port openings to provide electrical interconnection to the portable electronic device. With this arrangement, the conductive structures in the interface connector are substantially co-planar with each other to provide improved and more reliable electrical interconnection with the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A computer program and method are disclosed for matching a potential positionee and potential positionor. The potential positionee is provided with a positionee information entry interface for entering positionee information comprising the potential positionee's actual qualifications. The positionee information is stored in a database. Matching is accomplished by providing the potential positionor with a positionor information entry interface for electronically entering positionor information comprising at least one target qualification for a position, the positionor information being stored in the database. Matching is based on determining whether the positionee information correlates with the positionor information. A correlated information list is created. The correlated information is presented for review. Code sections of the computer program preferably accomplish these and other tasks.
