  • Patent number: 11943203
    Abstract: A method includes selecting, by at least one hardware processor of a first database deployment, data for transmission to a second database deployment. The data includes a plurality of files forming a data stream. At least a first file of the plurality of files is encoded using a first encryption key which is stored in at least a second file of the plurality of files. The at least a first file is further encoded to include a second encryption key associated with at least a third file of the plurality of files. A set of nodes is identified in a virtual private network connected to the first and second database deployments. The data stream is transmitted from the first database deployment to the second database deployment via the set of nodes of the virtual private network that is connected to the first database deployment and the second database deployment.

  • Publication number: 20240054191
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques, devices, and systems for reducing waste by determining and utilizing scores associated with perishables that have been, or that are in the process of being, transported along a supply chain. A computing system may receive sensor data from a sensor within a threshold distance of the perishable, may provide the sensor data as input to a trained machine learning model, which generates, as output a score relating to a freshness of the perishable. This score and related information can be made accessible to users by associating an identifier with the score and with the information.

  • Publication number: 20240054503
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques, devices, and systems for reducing waste by determining and utilizing scores associated with perishables that have been, or that are in the process of being, transported along a supply chain. A computing system may receive different types of data associated with a perishable, may determine a sub score for each type of data received, the sub score based at least in part on a completeness weight and an importance weight, and may compute, based at least in part on the sub scores, a score relating to a transparency of information associated with the perishable, wherein the information is derived from the first data and the second data. This score and related information can be made accessible to users by associating an identifier with the score and with the information.

  • Publication number: 20220369267
    Abstract: A process of administering electronic device registration and authentication includes receiving an access request; comparing the credentials to credential data within a database; scanning for available communications channels; reporting available communications channels to an activation administrator server via one of the channels; and initiating activation of an activatable electronic device. The access request includes credentials and attribute data. The device can self-administer the process by an available means of communication. The device includes a memory, communications interfaces, and a processor. The processor identifies a unique attribute of the device and obtains and populates a form to generate an activation request including the device attribute, information associated with the device, and an intended usage. The activation request is forwarded to the server using the interface.

  • Patent number: 10976099
    Abstract: The locking shelf insert for use with a refrigerator or freezer is configured for use with a storage device selected from the group consisting of a refrigerator and a freezer. The selected storage device further comprises a storage shelf. The locking shelf insert for use with a refrigerator or freezer is a barrier structure that attaches to the storage shelf. The locking shelf insert for use with a refrigerator or freezer forms a barricade that controls access into the storage space provided by the storage shelf. The locking shelf insert for use with a refrigerator or freezer comprises a first shell, a second shell, and a door structure. The first shell, the second shell, and the third shell combine to form the barricade such that the form factor of the barricade is adjustable. The door structure provides access into the protected storage space formed by the barricade.

  • Patent number: 10630841
    Abstract: Agents operating at call centers or other customer support service networks may assist large numbers of customers consecutively and in a dynamic manner. One example may include populating a portion of a first agent user interface of a first agent device with a first customer profile, identifying a second agent device currently assigned a second customer call with second customer call information related to the first customer call information, comparing the first customer call information to the second customer call information, determining the second customer call information exceeds a relevancy threshold when compared to first customer call information, populating a portion of a second agent user interface of the second agent device with the portion of the first agent user interface, and updating the first agent user interface by removing the first customer call information and providing another customer call to the first user agent device.

  • Publication number: 20200012881
    Abstract: A real time video analytic processor that uses a trained convolutional neural network that embodies algorithms and processing architectures that process a wide variety of sensor images in a fashion that emulates how the human visual path processes and interprets image content. Spatial, temporal, and color content of images are analyzed and the salient features of the images determined. These salient features are compared to the salient features of objects of user interest in order to detect, track, classify, and characterize the activities of the objects. Objects or activities of interest are annotated in the image streams and alerts of critical events are provided to the user. Instantiation of the cognitive processing can be accomplished on multi-FPGA and multi-GPU processing hardware.
