Abstract: An indication from an identification device is received. The indication includes identification information for each user of one or more users in a vehicle. The identification device is found in the vehicle. Whether the identification information for each user of the one or more users is correct is determined. Responsive to determining the identification information for any user of the one or more users is incorrect, a manager of the vehicle is notified.

Abstract: A first optical marker contained in a first image captured by an image capture device of a delivery drone can be identified, the first optical marker indicating a first cargo recipient. Responsive to identifying the first optical marker contained in the first image, first data corresponding to the first optical marker can be generated by performing image processing on the first image. Responsive to the generating the first data corresponding to the first optical marker, a first specific location at a general location can be determined by processing the first data. The first optical marker can indicate the first specific location and the first specific location can be different than a second specific location where the first optical marker is positioned at the general location. The delivery drone can be initiated to deliver the cargo at the first specific location indicated by the first optical marker.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for structural damage detection in a vehicle. The method includes detecting a change in tension of a wire coupled to two different nodes of a multiplicity of nodes tethered to one another by way of tensioned wires and affixed to a portion of a vehicle. Thereafter, in response to the detection, data is uploaded that includes the change in tension to a computer remote form the vehicle over a computer communications network.

Abstract: At least one image captured by an image capture device of a delivery drone can be processed to identify at least one optical marker contained in the image. The optical marker can display at least one machine readable optical label, or alphanumeric characters, indicating a cargo recipient. Responsive to identifying the optical marker, image processing on the image can be performed to generate data corresponding to the machine readable optical label or alphanumeric characters. Whether the data corresponds to an intended cargo recipient of a cargo being carried by the delivery drone can be determined. Responsive to determining that the data corresponding to the machine readable optical label or alphanumeric characters corresponds to the intended cargo recipient of the cargo being carried by the delivery drone, the delivery drone can be initiated to deliver the cargo at a specific location indicated by the optical marker.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request to purchase admission to an event at a specific venue, a user identification of the user requesting admission and the user's payment method, and a device identifier associated with the user and transmitting the user location; store the request, user/payment data and device identifier in a database; receive, from a sensor within a specific location in the venue, a notification of the device within a proximity to the sensor; and update the payment method to reflect a deduction of the price for the event as determined by the location in proximity to the sensor.

Abstract: The system for inventory management includes a plurality of tags, a root tag connected via a wire to at least one tag of the plurality of tags, and a reading device. Each tag of the plurality of tags corresponds to an item and each tag of the plurality of tags is connected via a wire to at least one other tag of the plurality of tags. The reading device is connected to the root tag to receive data found on the plurality and the data is transferred to the reading device through one or more wires connected to the root tag.

Abstract: A speech from a speaker proximate to one or more microphones within an environment can be received. The microphones can be a directional microphone or an omni-directional microphone. The speech can be processed to produce an utterance to determine the identity of the speaker. The identity of the speaker can be associated with a voiceprint. The identity can be associated with a user's credentials of a computing system. The credentials can uniquely identify the user within the computing system. The utterance can be analyzed to establish a zone in which the speaker is present. The zone can be a bounded region within the environment. The zone can be mapped within the environment to determine a location of the speaker. The location can be a relative or an absolute location.

Abstract: A method for providing dynamically translated public address announcements can begin with a multi-lingual module maintaining a listing of mobile devices that are currently active within a specified geographic area serviced by a public address system. The native language used by a mobile device that is different than a language used by the public address system can be noted. Content for an announcement broadcast by the public address system can be converted into a format capable of being transmitted via a wireless communications message. The converted content can be translated to the native languages noted in the listing. The wireless communications message containing the translated content can be pushed to corresponding mobile devices in the listing and the wireless communications message containing the converted content can be pushed to a remainder of the mobile devices in the listing via a non-cellular wireless network local to the specified geographic area.

Abstract: To reduce the temperature compensation error of a hot element mass airflow sensor due to thermal radiation losses, the element is coated with a low emissivity material. In the case of a hot film sensor which comprises a thin metal foil resistor sandwiched between polymer layers, the outer surface is covered with a low emissivity coating comprising a thin metal layer which is highly reflective to infrared radiation. A circuit supplies energy to the element to heat it to a prescribed temperature; the power required to maintain that temperature correlates with the rate of convective energy loss to the airflow and thus to the rate of mass airflow.
