  • Publication number: 20200118223
    Abstract: Using artificial intelligence to automatically and intelligently extract critical data from utility bills, enrich the extracted data with other data, categorize the data, validate and detect anomalies in the data, draw insights from the data, and pro actively present usage recommendations based on the insights and respond to user inquiries regarding the data through a user-friendly interface.

  • Patent number: 6747684
    Abstract: A printing system has a laser scanner and a print bar such as a page-width-array printhead associated with an array of photodetectors. The scanner scans the array of photodetectors, to selectively light activate photodetectors in the array. Each photodetector, when activated by the scanner triggers its associated inkjet nozzle(s) in the printhead to deposit ink on a media surface. In one embodiment the page-width-array is stationary and the media is periodically advanced as ink drops are deposited.

  • Patent number: 5614333
    Abstract: A label for an electrochemical cell with a condition tester for the cell integrated with the label to form a label/tester composite is disclosed. The label/tester composite has a thermochromic material in thermal contact with an electrically conductive material. A substructure containing a cured conductive material and preferably also a thermochromic material is formed on a releasable web and transferred from the releasable web to the inside surface of the heat shrinkable base film. A partition coating may be applied over the transferred conductive material. Preferably, a sheet of paper or plastic film having a large window opening therein for entrapping air is applied over the partition coating and aligned over the heat generating portion of the conductive material. The label/tester composite is applied to the cell housing with the insulating paper or plastic film with window opening against the cell housing.
