Patent number: 9977936Abstract: A computer-implemented method for tracking an item having an electromagnetic frequency signature is provided. The method includes obtaining, using a processor system of a device, an electromagnetic frequency signature of an item. The item associated with the obtained electromagnetic frequency signature is identified and the location of the device at the time the item is identified. The identity of the item associated with the electromagnetic frequency signature and the location of the device at the time the electromagnetic frequency signature is obtained are recorded for associating the item with the location of the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Gregg M. Arquero, Eli M. Dow, Syed F. Hossain, Joshua Schaeffer, Yunli Tang

Publication number: 20180122259Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products for modifying driving behavior. Aspects include obtaining driving data for a driver. Then developing, by a processor, a driving profile based on the driving data for the driver, wherein the driving profile includes one or more driving behaviors. Aspects also include obtaining location data for the driver and obtaining a set of driving rules from one or more databases based upon the location data for the driver. Additionally, aspects include comparing, by the processor, the driving profile to the set of driving rules to derive a set of suggested driving changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Gregg M.

Publication number: 20180089168Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing automated operations to analyze and prioritize incoming user messages. An indication of a message sent to a recipient user is received. Based at least in part on configuration information associated with the recipient user, the received message is analyzed. Analyzing the received message includes at least one of determining sentiments associated with the received message, determining intentions associated with the received message, determining document classes associated with the received message, and generating summary information corresponding to the received message. Based at least in part on the analyzing of the received message, a prioritized listing of multiple messages associated with the recipient user, including the received message, is displayed to the recipient user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2016Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Gregg M.

Publication number: 20180089171Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing automated operations to analyze and prioritize incoming user messages. One or more indications of a plurality of messages sent to one or more recipient users is received. Based at least in part on one or more natural-language processing libraries, multiple messages of the plurality are analyzed. Analyzing the multiple messages includes determining one or more sentiments associated with each of the multiple messages, and generating, based at least in part on the determining of the one or more sentiments, aggregate sentiment information regarding one or more subsets of the multiple messages. Based at least in part on the analyzing of the received message, indications are provided of the aggregate sentiment information generated regarding one or more subsets of messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2016Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Gregg M.

Publication number: 20170198985Abstract: A heat sink structure is provided having fins mechanically altered dynamically to change and optimize the heat sink's performance based on certain environmental conditions. Specifically, the shape of fins of the heat sink structure is dynamically altered in response to environmental conditions that indicate the need for increased thermal performance by spreading the fins through a mechanical device dynamically, or by collapsing the fins to reduce pressure drop across a region when increased thermal performance is not needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Bjorn J. Ahbel, Wiren D. Becker, Marc H. Coq, Milnes P. David, Ryan N. Elsasser, Syed F. Hossain
