  • Publication number: 20220222688
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting user actions based upon electronic communication between a user and an organization are disclosed. Based upon user interactions with an organization via electronic communication channels (e.g., e-mail, electronic chat, or voice/video calls), a trained predictive model is used to predict a probability of a future user action relating to the organization. Such user electronic communication is processed to generate message features from message content and metadata, which message features are then combined with other user data features associated with the user or with user interaction with an electronic data system of the organization. The combined data set of message features and user data features is analyzed by the predictive model to generate an output value indicative of a predication of a future user action.

  • Publication number: 20200090244
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing information regarding vehicle inventory availability to users of an information system are disclosed. When generating a vehicle data page for a particular vehicle at a particular location, the information system may generate an expected duration of availability of the vehicle as a prediction of the time between listing and sale of the vehicle. When the expected duration of availability is below a threshold, a status indicator may be generated and added to the vehicle data page to alert users that the vehicle is expected to remain available for only a short period of time. An estimate of time remaining for the vehicle may also be generated and presented to users as part of the vehicle data page.

  • Patent number: 9119164
    Abstract: An access point generates beacons at different power levels at different times to provide an acceptable tradeoff between coverage area associated with the beacons and outage experienced at nearby access terminals. For example, a femto access point may transmit beacons at a relatively low power for a relatively long period of time to reduce interference at nearby access terminals that are being served by a macro access point. The femto access point may then transmit beacons at a relatively high power for a relatively short period of time to enable nearby access terminals to receive the beacons. Also, a given transmit chain may be used to provide frequency hopping of high and low power beacons.

  • Patent number: 8958795
    Abstract: A method for reducing interference to wireless communication devices is disclosed. A proximity of a wireless communication device to a base station is determined. The proximity of the wireless communication device is compared with a proximity threshold and based on the comparison, access to a femtocell may be granted to a restricted/non-CSG (closed subscriber group) wireless communication device. The method also includes causing a registration response to be sent to the wireless communication device based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 8755644
    Abstract: Method of fabricating a semiconductor die with a microlens associated therewith. More particularly, a method for fabricating a vertical channel guide optical via through a silicon substrate wherein the optical via can contain lens elements, a discrete index gradient guiding pillar and other embodiments. Also disclosed are means for transferring, coupling and or focusing light from an electronic-optical device on the top of a semiconductor substrate through the substrate to a waveguiding medium below the substrate. The high alignment accuracies afforded by standard semiconductor fabrication processes are exploited so as to obviate the need for active alignment of the optical coupling or light guiding elements.
