Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for scheduling services and other types of appointments in conjunction with purchasing and/or redeeming deal offers. Merchants may customize a scheduling system to provide scheduling capabilities and deal redemption capabilities to consumers interested in scheduling appointments. A consumer may use the scheduling system to select dates and times, merchant locations, and/or staff members, among other things, when scheduling appointments, and provide deal and/or other payment related information to the merchant. Merchants may use the scheduling system and consumer date received therefrom to track resources across numerous locations, keep apprised of their staffs' availability, receive/generate analytics data related to the affect deals have on their business, and gain a better understanding of their customers. The scheduling system may be integrated into the merchant's website and/or linked to deals offered by a third party promotional system.

Abstract: A network device receives first objects defining first network data associated with an asynchronous distributed network and an asynchronous distributed network operating system and generates a natural name graph based on the first objects. The network device provides information describing the natural name graph to other network devices in the asynchronous distributed network and receives a second object defining second network data. The network device determines whether one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object and removes the one of the first objects from the natural name graph, to generate an updated natural name graph, when the one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object. The network device provides the updated natural name graph to the other network devices to prevent the other network devices from generating erroneous results.

Abstract: A process control tool for processing wide data from automated manufacturing operations. The tool including a feature selector, an analysis server, and a visualization engine. The feature selector receives process input data from at least one manufacturing process application, wherein the process input data includes a plurality of observations and associated variables, converts the received process input data to a stacked format having one row for each variable in each observation, converts identified categorical variables into numerical variables and identified time-series data into fixed numbers of intervals, computes statistics that measure the strengths of relationships between predictor values and an outcome variable, orders, filters, and pivots the predictor values. The analysis server performs at least one operation to identify interactions between predictor values, e.g. using maximum Likelihood computations or predefined searches, in the filtered predictor values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for coordinating parking availability are provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for generating a three-dimensional fracture network model are provided. The method can include receiving reflected acoustic signal measurements acquired in response to emission of acoustic waves by one or more sensors disposed in a wellbore formed within a target region. Each reflected acoustic signal measurement represents a strength of a reflected acoustic wave as a function of time measured in at least one predetermined direction oriented with respect to an axis of the wellbore. A fracture extension estimate is generated for each of the reflected acoustic signal measurements. A three-dimensional fracture network model is generated corresponding to the fracture extension estimates generated for each of the plurality of reflected acoustic measurements. The generated fracture network model is output for display or use in modeling environments.

Abstract: A method for providing galvanic isolation between an input or trunk interface (30) and multiple outputs or spur interfaces (38) for connecting field devices (14) to a trunk (20) of a two-wire (44a, 44b) process control network (10) includes connecting multiple sets of multiple spur interfaces to respective isolating elements (34). Each isolating element (34) connects a respective set of outputs or spur interfaces (38) to the trunk interface (30) and galvanically isolates (40, 42) the respective set of spur interfaces (38) from the trunk interface (30). Field devices (14) attached to different sets of spur interfaces are also galvanically isolated from one another.
