Abstract: An electronic device presents a virtual behavior of a participant in a Metaverse. The electronic device determines a context of the Metaverse including the people meeting with the participant. The electronic device determines a real-world behavior of the participant while immersed in the Metaverse. The electronic device generates virtual behavior of the participant based on the context of the Metaverse and the real-world behavior of the participant while immersed in the Metaverse. The electronic device renders an avatar of the participant having the virtual behavior of the participant.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for access token conversion. The system comprises a first application programming interface (API) backend using a first authentication service based on a first tokenization protocol and a second API backend using a second authentication service based on a second tokenization protocol. The second authentication service is configured to receive from, a user device, a call to the second API backend with a first token associated with the first authentication service, convert the first token to a first converted token based on the second tokenization protocol, and forward the first converted token to the user device for use in subsequent calls to the second API backend.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to multichannel authentication and tokenization. A system comprises a first authentication system serving a plurality of in-store point of sale terminals and implementing a physical channel authentication policy and a second authentication system serving a plurality of user devices accessing an e-commerce service and implementing an e-commerce channel authentication policy, and a tokenization system. The tokenization system being configured to generate a first token in response to receiving a first user credential from an in-store point of sale terminal via the first authentication system, generate a second token in response to receiving a second user credential from a user device via the second authentication system, and forward the first token and the second token to the retailer backend system, wherein the first token and the second token are generated based on a same tokenization protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluating a maintenance report. A maintenance report is received for an item of modular industrial equipment. The maintenance report includes a maintenance-related code, selected from a defined library of maintenance-related codes, and a free text field describing either or both of an observation of the item of modular equipment that is inconsistent with a defined specification and an action taken to repair or maintain the item of modular industrial equipment. A plurality of features representing the semantic content of a free-text field are extracted, with at least a portion of the plurality of features being extracted via a document embedding approach. At an expert system, a new maintenance-related code is determined from the defined library of maintenance-related codes for the item of modular industrial equipment, from the plurality of features.

Abstract: One example includes a forecasting inventory management system for a fleet of assets. An I/O interface receives inputs defining inventory and supply chain parameters of the assets and component(s) of each asset over a duration of time spanning from a present time to a future time. The inputs further include a time-phased input corresponding to a change associated with at least one of the inventory and supply chain parameters at future time(s) in the duration of time. The I/O interface can also provide outputs comprising an inventory assessment model comprising an allocation of the inventory of the component(s) throughout the duration of time. A memory system stores a database defining the inventory and supply chain parameters associated with the assets and the component(s). A forecasting engine generates the inventory assessment model at the present time based on the inventory and supply chain parameters throughout the duration of time.
