Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of an apparatus, method, and system comprising a portable device configured to communicate with a terminal and a network server, and execute stored program code in response to user interaction with an interactive user interface. The portable device contains stored program code configured to render an interactive user interface on a terminal output component to enable the user the control processing activity on the portable device and access data and programs from the portable device and a network server.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system that includes a camera, a shadow device that mimics, copies, or duplicates the properties of the camera, and a controller. The controller can be located in the same vicinity as the shadow device, where the camera is in a remote location. An operator can receive feedback that mimics what they would be experiencing if they were operating the camera directly. The controller then manipulates the remote camera based on the input from the operator. The system of the present disclosure allows for a camera operator to be in a remote location, and it still provides accurate, real-time feedback to the operator. Unlike current systems, the present system provides instantaneous or near-instantaneous feedback for cameras in remote locations.
Abstract: A method according to one embodiment includes establishing, by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) circuitry of an access control device, a BLE communication connection with a first mobile device while a main microprocessor and a Wi-Fi circuitry of the access control device are in sleep states; waking, by the access control device, the Wi-Fi circuitry of the access control device from the sleep state in response to establishing the BLE communication connection with the mobile device; establishing, by the Wi-Fi circuitry of the access control device, a Wi-Fi communication connection with an access control server in response to waking the Wi-Fi circuitry from the sleep state; and receiving, by the access control device and from the access control server via the Wi-Fi communication connection, access control data for the access control device transmitted from a second mobile device to the access control server.

Abstract: Customer relationship management (‘CRM’) implemented in a computer system, including administering, by a CRM application of the computer system, with one or more customer representative on behalf of one or more tele-agents asynchronously across one or more platform types, as structure of computer memory of the computer system, a communications session comprising one or more communications contacts with the customer representative in support of the communications session. Digital transcripts of previous contacts are displayed for a tele-agent in real to facilitate communications with the customer representative. The transcripts and associated data are stored as parsed and inferred semantic triples in an enterprise knowledge graph.
Abstract: The present invention includes methods for producing an extruded food particle by extruding through an extruder having a screw within a barrel, a composition containing nutritional food components, and gelatin in an amount sufficient to act as a binder when the composition exits the extruder, where the binder has essentially no starch. The present invention also includes extruded food particles that do not use starch as a binder.
Abstract: Apparatus for radiofrequency neurotomy are disclosed. Needles with deployable filaments capable of producing lesions at target volumes, which include a target nerve, and systems including such needles are disclosed. Ablation of at least a portion of the target nerve may inhibit the ability of the nerve to transmit signals, such as pain signals, to the central nervous system. The lesion may facilitate procedures by directing energy towards the target nerve and away from collateral structures. Example anatomical structures include lumbar, thoracic, and cervical medial branch nerves and rami and the sacroiliac joint.
Abstract: A system for contact information integration with search results, comprising a queue manager; an enterprise communications system; and a search engine. Upon receipt of search query from a user, the search engine submits a request to the queue manager. The queue manager: obtains from the enterprise communications system a communications status comprising an estimated wait time; sends a notification to the search engine advising the search engine of the estimated wait time for service; and upon receiving from the search engine a request to generate a callback to the user from the enterprise of a specific communications type, directing an enterprise communications system of the enterprise that is associated with the specific communications type to initiate a callback to the user from whom the search engine query was received in response to the callback request received from the search engine.
Abstract: A device may receive third-party data associated with merchants and may receive customer interest data associated with customers of the merchants, wherein the customer interest data includes data identifying locations of the customers and birthdates of the customers. The device may train a machine learning model, with the third-party data and the customer interest data, to generate a trained machine learning model. The device may receive, from a user device, data identifying a location and a birthdate of a particular customer of a particular merchant, wherein the particular merchant is one of the merchants, and may process the data identifying the location and the birthdate of the particular customer, with the trained machine learning model, to determine a predicted interest of the particular customer. The device may perform one or more actions based on the interest of the particular customer.
Abstract: A method to partially decrease a reflectivity of a region on a mirror platform includes isolating the region on a surface of the mirror platform and removing a first material from the surface of the mirror platform within the region. The reflectivity of the mirror platform is decreased within the region.

Abstract: A method of connecting a first threaded tubular to a second threaded tubular includes engaging the threads of the tubulars and rotating the first tubular relative to the second tubular to makeup a threaded connection. The method further includes, during makeup of the threaded connection: measuring time, measuring torque applied to the connection, and measuring turns of the first tubular. The method further includes using a programmable logic controller for: evaluating at least one of the measured turns, measured torque, and measured time for at least one of a discontinuity, a torque spike, and a torque drop and accepting or rejecting the connection based on the evaluation.

Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven content generation system is configured to interact with and inject user inputs into the decision-making process to navigate the user through the boundless creative space offered by content generation algorithms powered by AI. A content generation application may generate an initial collection of artifacts (e.g., multimedia) for exposure to a user, which may be generated based on user input, context awareness, or randomly generated. Responsive to user selection of one of the initial artifacts, a subsequent collection of artifacts is generated based on characteristics of the selected artifact. The generative process is recursive in that the generative application and the user continue to interact until the user decides to use one of the generated artifacts. The generative process enables the user to navigate the virtually infinite creative space of artifacts which may be generated by AI algorithms.
