  • Patent number: 11763322
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling enterprise software policy compliance assessment processes based on quantum combinations of assessment elements. A computing platform may receive an assessment dataset and may generate a time-independent requisite work dataset. The time-independent requisite work dataset may include assessment information identifying a plurality of real branded assessment quanta and priority information identifying a plurality of priority scores. Each priority score of the plurality of priority scores may correspond to an assessment quantum of the plurality of real branded assessment quanta. The computing platform may optimize the time-independent requisite work dataset by aggregating related assessment quanta associated with the plurality of real branded assessment quanta, and this may produce a prioritized schedule of application assessment quanta.

  • Patent number: 11699121
    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to evaluating loading and unloading times of items in a vehicle. The vehicle may be equipped with an object-sensing mat placed in a cargo area and coupled to a computer configured to execute a timing evaluation module. A first change in weight or pressure is sensed when an item is either placed upon, or removed from, the object-sensing mat. An increase in weight or pressure indicates loading of the item on to the vehicle, and vice-versa. The computer can generate a timing prediction model based on processing sensor signals from the object-sensing mat and determining the amount of time taken for loading or unloading items from the vehicle. In one application, a timing prediction model may be generated for each customer of a goods delivery service and used for optimizing delivery operations.
