  • Publication number: 20240119735
    Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring inventory of a product storage facility include an image capture device configured to move about the product storage areas of the product storage facility and capture images of the product storage areas from various angles. A computing device coupled to the image capture device obtains the images of the product storage areas captured by the image capture device and processes the obtained images of the product storage areas to detect individual products captured in the obtained images. Based on detection of the individual products captured in the images, the computing device analyzes each of the obtained images to detect one or more adjacent product storage structures (shelves, pallets, etc.) and identifies and selects a single image that fully shows a product storage structure of interest and fully shows each of the products stored on the product storage structure of interest.

  • Patent number: 10725625
    Abstract: A method and system. In response to receiving a click on a first link included in a parent webpage being displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) on which a parent tab associated with the parent webpage is displayed: a new tab corresponding to the first link is created, the new tab is displayed on the GUI, the parent webpage is replaced by a new webpage associated with the first link, and a screenshot of the parent webpage is generated and saved to a tooltip attribute of the new tab. A cursor of a pointing device hovering above the new tab is detected. The screenshot is retrieved from the tooltip attribute and persistently displayed on the GUI. During displaying the screenshot and with the hovering above the new tab no longer occurring, a click on the screenshot is received and in response, the parent webpage in the GUI is reopened.

  • Patent number: 10199778
    Abstract: High speed connector inserts and cables having improved heat conduction, high strength, and may be manufactured in a reliable manner. One example may provide a connector insert having several paths by which heat may be removed from circuitry in the cable insert. In one example, heat may be removed from one or more circuits by forming a thermal path between a circuit and a shield of the connector insert. Another path may include one or more pads on a side of an integrated circuit board that are soldered directly to the shield. A braiding surrounding a cable may be soldered or otherwise thermally connected to the shield. Another example may provide a cable having a braiding that includes one or more types of fibers, such as aramid fibers. Another example may provide for increased manufacturability by using a wire comb and a solder bar.

  • Patent number: 8801461
    Abstract: Structures and methods that simplify the assembly of connector inserts. One example may provide a connector insert having a termination block that is arranged to receive an end of a cable. The termination block may provide a first number of conductors in a first row and a second number of conductors in a second row. The termination block may be stepped such that the first number of conductors emerge from the termination block at a different position along their lengths than the second number of conductors. The first number of conductors may then attach to a first side of a printed circuit board or other connector portion, while the second number of conductors may then attach to a second side of the printed circuit board or other connector portion.
