  • Patent number: 11410114
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems that can help an aerial transport service provider (ATSP) select an unmanned vehicle (UV) to deliver a temperature-sensitive item. In accordance with example embodiments, the ATSP system can generate a transport task to fulfill a request for delivery of the temperature-sensitive item, where the transport task involves delivering the item while maintaining a temperature of the item within a preferred temperature range. The system can calculate an amount of required energy to perform the transport task for each available UV of the fleet of UVs. Further, based on (i) the amount of required energy for each available UV, and (ii) a respective remaining battery energy level for each available UV, the ATSP system can select a first UV to perform the task. Yet further, the ATSP system can assign the transport task to the first UV.

  • Patent number: 11409946
    Abstract: A system and method for linking management requirements for financial instruments to source documents. The system generates a viewing interface for viewing managed accounts that contain various financial instruments. Source documents for the financial instruments are converted into a digital format, therein producing digitized documents. The digitized documents are stored in a searchable database. The digitized documents are analyzed to locate specific clauses within the digitized documents that create management requirements. The clauses are identified with unique numerical identifiers. The numerical identifiers are used to create hyperlinks for recalling said clauses from the database. The hyperlinks are added to the viewing interface wherein the hyperlinks can be used to recall and review the clauses directly.

  • Patent number: 11411819
    Abstract: Automatic network configuration for the recovery of virtual machines. A network configuration can be automatically provisioned by discovering the network topology of a source site and then matching the virtual machines to their locations or subnets in the network topology. The network is then implemented on a target site such that the required connectivity is present in the recovered target site even when the infrastructure of the source site and the target site are different.

  • Patent number: 11408480
    Abstract: A system may detect a vibration being applied to a tuned vibration absorber. The tuned vibration absorber may include a beam, a mass, springs, a sensor, and an actuator. The mass may be disposed on the beam at a current position. The actuator may be configured to adjust a position of the mass on the beam. The system may identify a target position of the mass on the beam based on the detected vibration. The system may generate a drive signal, based on the target position, to control the actuator to adjust the position of the mass on the beam. The system may control the actuator to adjust the position of the mass from the current position on the beam to the target position on the beam to attenuate the vibration.

  • Patent number: 11409910
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, submitted confidential data of a certain cohort (e.g., title, region, organization) is split into two components covering different portions of the cohort attributes (e.g., a first portion for (title, region)-wise confidential data values and a second portion of organization-wise compensation adjustments). These two portions are then analyzed separately and the inferences from both models are integrated together to obtain predictions for compensation values for the cohort as a whole.

  • Patent number: 11410496
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for the application of filtering in the collection and application of facial biometrics to a number of problems common to the vending and gaming environments. A succession of video frames of a scene are analyzed to determine if one or more faces are present. If so, the face most relevant to the application based in its position in the scene is selected. The selected face in each of the succession of video frames is then quality rated according to certain criteria to select the best frame for computing a biometric value of the selected face. One the biometric value has been computed, the value may be compared against a database to determine if a biometric value for a matching face was previously stored. If so, the quality rating of the new image and a quality rating previously stored with the stored biometric are compared.

  • Patent number: 11406055
    Abstract: An agricultural implement for applying fertilizer beneath the surface of the soil. The implement has a main frame for connecting the agricultural implement to agricultural equipment. A swing arm is pivotally connected to the main frame. An adjustable actuator interconnects the swing arm to the main frame to control the movement of the swing arm with respect to the main frame. A pair of discs are mounted to the free end of the swing arm for rotation with respect to the swing arm. The discs are offset mounted with respect to one another and are angled outwardly with respect to the direction of travel of the implement. The discs form grooves for receipt of fertilizer. Fertilizer tubes are mounted to the swing arms adjacent the discs. The fertilizer tubes deposit fertilizer in the grooves formed by the discs.
