  • Method and system for managing, matching, and sourcing employment candidates in a recruitment campaign
    Patent number: 11126970
    Abstract: A method and system for automating some aspects of a recruiting process, which may implement rules permitting the processes of sourcing candidates, setting up job interviews, and responding to candidate questions to all be automated with a computer.

  • Identifying paths using social networking data and application data
    Patent number: 11126651
    Abstract: Data from social networking applications and other applications that can be used to communicate are combined for a user to generate a graph of the various relationships that the user has with other users in the social networking applications and other applications. In addition, the behaviors of each user with respect to communicating through the various social networking applications and other applications are monitored to generate task data that describes user preferences for communicating using each social networking application or other application for different tasks. At a later time, when a user is looking to connect with another user for an indicated task such as networking, the graph can be used to recommend paths to other users in the various social networking applications and other applications, and the generated task data can be used to rank the recommended paths based on the indicated task.

  • Adhesive viscoelastomer and its use in stabilized storage containers
    Patent number: 11124596
    Abstract: The invention provides a unique thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product and a container combination comprised of the supportive base equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomer reaction product possessing unexpectedly superior adhesive and cohesive efficacy rendering it especially useful as an adhesive insert in a container combination. The thermoset insert bonds to any suitable supportive structure. The unique viscoelastomeric reaction product inserts adhesively immobilize items placed thereupon and adhesively or permanently bonds to most conventional containers. The tenacious cohesive and adhesive features of the insert allows for inverted stowage of stowed items. Due to the confining adhesive and cohesive attributes of the insert, structural supports of a flexible or solid base without a conventional confining structure provide a unique container combination for the stowed items.

  • Systems and methods for improved geolocation in a low power wide area network
    Patent number: 11129096
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved geolocation in a low power wide area network are disclosed. One example method may include receiving an instruction to determine a geolocation of an end in a low power wide area network. An instruction may be transmitted to the end node for the end node to transmit a high-energy geolocation signal at a power of about 0.5 Watt to about 1 Watt. The end node may transmit the high-energy geolocation signal and a plurality of gateways of the low power wide area network may receive the high-energy geolocation signal. A plurality of receipt times may be identified. Each receipt time may be indicative of the time at which the high-energy geolocation signal was received by the respective gateway of the plurality of gateways. Based at least in part on the plurality of receipt times, a geolocation of the end node may be determined.
