  • Publication number: 20230054847
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a part identification and location system that has a server and a handheld device, and the handheld device is communicatively coupled to the server via a network. Further, the system has a handheld device processor that displays a plurality of graphical user interfaces to the handheld device and receives data from a user of the handheld device identifying a system, subsystem, or part that the user desires to purchase. Additionally, a server processor searches for the desired system, subsystem, or part on a plurality of part databases, locating one or more parts that match the system, subsystem, or part the user desires. The handheld device processor displays a list of the system, subsystems or parts located, receives data indicating which system, subsystem, or part the user desires to purchase, and receives payment data for purchasing the system, subsystem, or part.

  • Patent number: 10949635
    Abstract: A package scanning conveyance system that integrates a first two-dimensional image with at least a second two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional point clouds to calculate or estimate a package's physical properties, and/or determine if there are two or more packages in a pile. The captured imaging data is transformed by the inventive system to provide real-time feedback to a human operator to enable the operator to maintain an understanding of the system's performance. The imaging data may also be used to perform quality-checks on other parts of the package delivery and conveyance systems and document the condition of packages that have passed through the system.

  • Patent number: 10915747
    Abstract: A computing device receives a request to render a listing of item entries on a graphical user interface. The computing device receives an electronic image of the document, analyzes the electronic image, and determines a document type by performing an image recognition on a first portion the electronic image, comparing information extrapolated via the image recognition algorithm to a database of document types, and identifying a match between the extrapolated information a document type. The computing device applies an OCR algorithm that corresponds to the determined document type to a second portion of the electronic image, and identifies items extracted from the second portion. The computing device renders the listing of item entries on the graphical user interface of the user computing device, the listing of items comprising a listing of each item extracted from the second portion of the electronic image.

  • Publication number: 20190197307
    Abstract: Modifying graphical user interfaces based on new data obtained from electronic documents comprises a computing system and an image capturing system of a user. The computing device receives a first digital image comprising a first set of data and extracts the first set of data from the first digital image. The computing device populates a list with a first set of data. The computing device receives a second digital image comprising a second set of data and extracts the second set of data from the second digital image. The computing device then modifies the list based on the second set of data. The computing device searches for third party data to associate with items on the list and takes appropriate action based on the association.

  • Patent number: 9518454
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for controlling a plurality of perforating gun assemblies arranged in a gun train and lowered into a wellbore. The perforating gun assemblies are connected to a top sub controller that is also lowered into the wellbore. The top sub controller includes a first communications module to communicate with an above-ground control panel via a wireline and a second communications module to communicate with a switch sub in each the plurality of perforating gun assemblies via a network bus. Each switch sub has a unique network address. During assembly, the control panel automatically detects the order of the perforating gun assemblies in the gun train based on polling each of the switch subs of the plurality of perforating gun assemblies using the respective unique network addresses.
