  • Patent number: 11496543
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for invoking integration actions in a unified collaboration system. A client communicates with a bridging web server through a ReST. The bridging web server comprises a cloud service which facilitates communication with integration servers, which may be located on-premises. In an embodiment, the integration server(s) host a number of plugins which are capable of implementing integration actions. The bridging web server decides which action implementation is the best one to service a request. The implementation may be based on prior configuration. Routing decisions on the bridging web server may be automatically selected based on prior configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220341407
    Abstract: A fluid transportation system and method use a negative pressure driving mode to absorb fluids from a fluid storage assembly and a positive pressure driving mode to load the absorbed fluids into the fluid-using system. At least two working modules are used to transport fluids to the fluid-using system, the process of transporting fluid in each working module being divided into the processes of absorbing fluids into a fluid transfer assembly, and loading fluids into a fluid transfer assembly. The process of absorbing fluids in each working module and the processes of absorbing fluids and/or loading fluids in any other working module overlap at least partially along the time axis. With the present disclosure, the accuracy and speed of fluids transportation are improved, a device utilizing the system and method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11211942
    Abstract: A variable output data rate converter circuit preferably meets performance requirements while keeping the circuit complexity low. In some embodiments, the converter circuit may include an oversampling sigma delta modulator circuit to quantize an analog input signal at an oversampled rate, and output an sigma delta modulated signal, a transposed polynomial decimator circuit to decimate the sigma delta modulated signal, and output a first decimated signal, and an integer decimator circuit to decimate the first decimated signal by an integer factor and output a second decimated signal having a desired output data rate. The transposed polynomial decimator circuit has a transposed polynomial filter circuit and a digital phase locked loop circuit, which tracks a ratio between a sampling rate of the first decimated signal and the oversampled rate, and outputs an intersample position parameter to the transposed polynomial filter circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210365164
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating and presenting engagement heatmaps. In one aspect, a method includes generating and providing, to a client device, an interactive interface that includes a session replay area that presents playback of user interfaces presented during a user session. A detection is made, based on interaction data received from the client device, of user interaction with an interface control for viewing engagement heatmaps. In response to detecting the user interaction with the interface control, playback is paused. The interactive interface is updated to present, for each of two or more user interface elements presented by the given user interface, an engagement heatmap visualization that visually represents a relative quantity of user interactions with the user interface element when the user interface element was presented by the given interface.

  • Patent number: 11096337
    Abstract: An HVAC system used in a growing room to grow plants, including lighting and other heat producing pieces of equipment, wherein operating parameters are modified over time in response to and anticipation of changes in heat production by the lighting and other heat-producing pieces of equipment and moisture production from the plants and plant growing systems located in or near the growing room. The operating parameters of the system are modified during the growth cycle of the plants to provide environmental conditions appropriate to each phase of the plant growth. Additionally, the system comprises components carrying a load such that energy use can be reduced during times when less than maximum load is required. Algorithms and tables to control airflow, heating, cooling, dehumidification, and chemical composition of the air are included to maximize plant growth. CO2 and other byproducts of heating, cooling, and cogeneration are recycled for use in connection with plant growth.
