  • Patent number: 11797907
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products for dynamically identifying and engaging at least one on-demand packaging customer in a consolidated fashion. The system comprises one or more computer processors configured to: receive qualification data associated with at least one customer; calculate whether the at least one customer is a qualified customer; in response to identifying the qualified customer, determine whether the qualified customer is a targeted customer; in response to identifying the targeted customer, evaluate a readiness of at least one facility operated by the targeted customer for engagement of an on-demand packaging configuration; in response to determining a positive facility readiness, generate one or more documents for execution by at least the targeted customer, the carrier, and the supplier; and upon execution of the one or more documents, facilitate implementation of the on-demand packaging configuration at the at least one facility.

  • Patent number: 11586704
    Abstract: A method for facilitating the testing of a data sample involves a computing device carrying out the following actions: displaying a data sample on a user interface; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of a test to be performed on the data sample; receiving, via the user interface, an input of a result of the test; generating, in a graph database, a vertex representing a visual indicator corresponding to the input result; and creating, in the graph database, an association between the vertex representing the visual indicator and a vertex representing a file containing the displayed data sample.

  • Publication number: 20190108197
    Abstract: A method for facilitating the testing of a data sample involves a computing device carrying out the following actions: displaying a data sample on a user interface; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of a test to be performed on the data sample; receiving, via the user interface, an input of a result of the test; generating, in a graph database, a vertex representing a visual indicator corresponding to the input result; and creating, in the graph database, an association between the vertex representing the visual indicator and a vertex representing a file containing the displayed data sample.

  • Patent number: 4328022
    Abstract: A composite article is disclosed which embodies a thermally sensitive component enclosed within borosilicate glass bodies having a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of 30 to 40.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree.C. The bodies are joined by an intermediate layer of sealing material which is a fused mixture of a sealing glass containing an infra-red absorbing oxide and a mill additive having a low coefficient of thermal expansion. There is further disclosed a method of forming the seal between the glass bodies by application of infra-red radiation to the sealing material.
