  • Publication number: 20240142287
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a holding tank having a plurality of segments, each segment configured to hold an individual product, a plurality of suspension assemblies supporting the vehicle, and a volume determination system. The volume determination system is configured to receive an indication when a first segment of the plurality of segments of the holding tank is being filled with a first product via a first filling process, responsive to an input that the first filling process of the first segment is complete, receive first pressure measurements from the plurality of suspension assemblies, based at least partially on the received first pressure measurements, determine a volume of the first product within the first segment of the plurality of segments of the holding tank, and cause the determined volume of the first product within the first segment of the plurality of segments to be output to an operator of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240142288
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a holding tank including a plurality of segments, each configured to hold an individual product, a plurality of suspension assemblies supporting the vehicle, and a volume determination system. The volume determination system is configured to receive image data from at least one imager system of the vehicle during a first filling process of a first segment of the holding tank, analyze the received image data to identify a termination of the first filling process, responsive to identifying the termination of the first filling process, receive first pressure measurements from the plurality of suspension assemblies, based at least partially on the received first pressure measurements, determine a volume of a first product within the first segment of the holding tank, and cause the determined volume of the product within the first segment of the plurality of segments to be output to an operator of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11969578
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

  • Patent number: 11567963
    Abstract: Methods are provided for semantic processing of data files including detecting formats of data embedded in the data files and converting the data to formats compatible with a data analysis tool. The method may comprise determining if the data file comprises signature characteristics associated with a known data format and, if so, determining a set of data manipulation operations associated with the known data format to convert the data file to a compatible format for the data analysis tool. The method may further comprise semantically analyzing components of the data files to assess formatting across a required set of criterions needed by the data analysis tool and determining sets of data manipulation operations to perform to convert the data file to a compatible format.

    Abstract: Methods are provided for semantic processing of data files including detecting formats of data embedded in the data files and converting the data to formats compatible with a data analysis tool. The method may comprise semantically analyzing components of the data files to assess formatting across a required set of criterions needed by the data analysis tool and determining sets of data manipulation operations to perform to convert the data file to a compatible format. Semantic analysis of values in criterions across data entries may allow for groups of entries to be associated together with transaction ID values common to and unique to the groups of entries associated with a common transaction. The method may group data entries based on values in criterions, test potential groupings based on a behavior test to assess characteristics of entries when grouped in the proposed manner, and generate a new transaction ID criterion in each of the data entries.

  • Publication number: 20200074563
    Abstract: Methods are provided for assigning transaction identifiers to data entries in a general ledger. The method may comprise grouping data entries into potential transaction groups based on values in one or more criterions, validating the potential transaction groups based on a behavior test to assess characteristics of entries when grouped in the proposed manner, and generating a transaction ID criterion in each of the data entries if the behavior test is sufficient based on the assessed characteristics of entries when grouped in the proposed manner. The method may further comprise semantically analyzing components of the data files to assess formatting across a required set of criterions needed by the data analysis tool and determining sets of data manipulation operations to perform to convert the data file to a compatible format.

  • Publication number: 20110258561
    Abstract: A software-based dashboard interface on computing units enables user participation in social media sites on a global computer network on behalf of an entity. Contributors collaborate via the dashboards to have electronic conversations regarding existing postings and/or ideas for new postings on social media sites regarding or affecting the entity. One or more of the users develop a proposed posting(s) regarding or affecting the entity and intended for a social media site(s) on the global computer network. A computer-assisted approval process is performed by an Approver for one or more of the proposed posting(s). One or more approved postings are then posted to the social media site(s) via a computing unit(s). A Conversation Manager manages the collaboration, development and posting.
