  • Publication number: 20210119946
    Abstract: A system and method directed to determining one or more polls that a user may have missed during a period of inactivity is provided. Initially, a polling system may determine that a user is now active and may determine one or more polls that were created for or assigned to a user, or a group to which the user belongs, during the period of inactivity. The polling system may then surface a notification and/or an input window such that a user may provide polling input. In some instances, a user may have missed multiple polls; the polls presented to the user may be based on recent user activity and/or whether such missed polls are still live, or open.

  • Publication number: 20210114275
    Abstract: A system for controlling parameters of polymeric film includes an extruder and a die which has a gap. A plurality of regulators are positioned along the die for regulating the gap. A cooling cylinder is located downstream of the die and a polymeric melt extends from the die to the cooling cylinder. A haze generator for creating a haze lane in the polymeric melt is located proximate the gap. A haze sensor system is located downstream from the gap in a measuring location. The haze sensor system is locates a transverse point for the respective haze lane in the polymeric film at the measuring location. The haze sensor system is in communication with the regulators to adjust the gap based on a correlation of haze lane position at origin point and transverse point at the measuring location.

  • Publication number: 20210118045
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for overcoming lost opportunities in the world of car vetting, bidding, and acquisition. The present invention helps automotive industry individuals and businesses take advantage of opportunities to acquire cars that they previously would not have been able to purchase due to limitations in the present technology in the field. This may be accomplished through enabling a system to compile unstandardized information from various locations throughout the world and standardizing such information by factoring in various inconsistencies that exist based on fragmented descriptions and standards across the automotive industry. The present invention configures a system to allow users to sort through, track, and organize information in a way that has never existed enabling them to make real time decisions on acquisition of automobiles that would not otherwise be possible.

  • Publication number: 20210119976
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a telecommunications management system (TMS) that receives an indication from a first user to participate in a telecommunication. The TMS can identify a characteristic of the first user and compare the characteristic with one or more characteristics of each user of a pool of users. The TMS can select, based on the comparison, a second user of the pool of users that matches the first user. The TMS can initiate, responsive to selecting the matching second user, an anonymous telecommunications channel between the first user and the second user.

  • Publication number: 20210120653
    Abstract: A two-way load control system comprises a power device, such as a load control device for controlling an electrical load receiving power from an AC power source, and a controller adapted to be coupled in series between the source and the power device. The load control system may be installed without requiring any additional wires to be run, and is easily configured without the need for a computer or an advanced commissioning procedure. The power device receives both power and communication over two wires. The controller generates a phase-control voltage and transmits a forward digital message to the power device by encoding digital information in timing edges of the phase-control voltage. The power device transmits a reverse digital message to the controller via the power wiring.
