  • Patent number: 10769164
    Abstract: A method and system are provided including a search module; a display; a memory storing processor-executable steps; and a search processor coupled to the memory, and in communication with the mapper module and operative to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to: present a user interface on a display, the user interface including a user-entry field to receive a query, wherein the query includes one or more terms; receive the query in the user-entry field; in response to the received query, parse the query; determine whether any of the one or more terms of the parsed query are object candidates; determine, for each object candidate, one or more available actions for the object candidate; generate a list of one or more selectable objects; and display the list of one or more selectable objects on a user interface. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20190019123
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for executing a work process through self-sustainable objects are described herein. The method includes identifying a work process comprising a plurality of self-sustainable objects. A self-sustainable object includes data representing values of one or more attributes of the self-sustainable object. The self-sustainable object monitors its data. Based upon the monitored data, the self-sustainable determines or detects whether an event is triggered. One or more events may be predefined for the self-sustainable objects. When an event is triggered, the self-sustainable object executes an action including sending message to another self-sustainable object, sending a message to a user, initiating a repair action, and updating its status to one of an active state, an inactive state, etc. The self-sustainable object may request for user's input and the requested user's input may be provided to the self-sustainable object for executing the work process.

  • Patent number: 9381954
    Abstract: A body supporting structure for a vehicle body has a passenger-compartment section, a front-structure section and a rear-structure section. In order to form the body supporting structure, at least one supporting-structure body is configured as a three-dimensional flat structure which extends in all vehicle directions (x, y, z direction) and includes flat elements, the flat elements which extend in different vehicle directions (x, y, z direction) are connected with the formation of soft transitions, the flat elements are configured with cross-sectional areas which are structured depending on the applied loads, and flat elements with low applied loads or non-loadbearing regions are configured with apertures.

  • Patent number: 7603300
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to generate statistical reports on transactions conducted via an electronic marketplace are based on data extracted from the transaction documents. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving documents sent through an electronic marketplace, with each document including multiple data fields. Data is extracted from predetermined document data fields. The extracted data relates to a predetermined statistical category of transactions conducted through the electronic marketplace. The extracted data is stored, and a report corresponding to the predetermined statistical category is provided. The report includes an aggregation of the stored extracted data associated with the predetermined statistical category. In some implementations, a report may be generated that relates to information regarding global spending according to the buyer, seller, time period, product type, contract, and/or other parameters.
