Abstract: A guest engagement system and associated methods provide seamless engagement with guests of facilities through the use of wireless sensing technologies. The system makes use of individual guest devices which are carried by guests and used to automatically identify and authenticate the guests throughout the facility. Services can thereby be seamlessly provided to the guests throughout the facility. The services include contact tracing, automatic unlocking of doors, including hotel or state room doors, based on the guests' immediate proximity to their assigned room's door. The services also include automated payment services provided at checkout or vending terminals, and automated log-on to interactive displays and portals, among others, based on secure wireless authentication of the guest devices.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling noise generated by a transport climate control system (TCCS) that provides climate control within a climate controlled space of a transport unit are disclosed. The methods and systems include a controller obtaining a noise tolerance, wherein the noise tolerance is a threshold noise level that includes at least a noise level generated by the TCCS; the controller monitoring the noise level generated by the TCCS; the controller comparing the noise tolerance with the noise level generated by the TCCS; upon the controller determining that the noise level generated by the TCCS is greater than the noise tolerance, the controller determining a target operating condition of the TCCS for matching the noise level generated by the TCCS with the noise tolerance; and the controller adjusting the TCCS to the target operating condition to adjust the noise level generated by the TCCS.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to automated trust discretionary distribution decisions. The innovative system comprises a computer server configured to perform the steps of: receiving, via an electronic input, a trust beneficiary cash distribution request relating to a trust instrument; responsive to the trust beneficiary request, obtaining trust details relating to the trust instrument; applying, via a computer server, a trust decision predictor to the distribution request to generate a trust decision wherein the trust decision predictor considers a set of decision factors comprising the trust beneficiary cash distribution request, beneficiary details, trust details and applicability of governing restrictions; presenting, via an electronic interface, the trust decision; automatically executing the trust decision; and applying feedback data to refine and standardize the trust decision predictor.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for automatically extracting information from unstructured data are provided. A receiver receives digitized data of a document having unstructured data format. A processor applies machine learning models for sectioning the digitized data. An OCR device applies an OCR processing to the sectioned digitized data. The processor matches the sectioned digitized data to patterns and rules; applies classification models to the matched digitized data to identify entities and events from the sectioned digitized data; automatically link each entity with corresponding event in a hierarchical format to generate a document having structured data format; and output the document having the structured data with metadata having the linked entity with corresponding event in the hierarchical format to downstream applications.

Abstract: An enclosed medical case cart includes a left-side panel, a back panel, and a right-side panel supported on a chassis. A top panel is supported on the left and right-side panels and the back panel. A door including a transparent panel is coupled to either the left or right-side panel by a hinge. A plurality of freely-swiveling caster wheels are coupled to the chassis. A first status indicator assembly including a plurality of flags movable between a first position and a second position is coupled to the top panel. A second status indicatory assembly having an indicator disc movable between a first position and a second position is coupled to an interior surface of the door. A fifth-wheel assembly having a non-swiveling wheel movable between a first position and a second position is coupled to the chassis.

Abstract: A method includes providing digital content to a content designer through a device and receiving an input from the content designer through the device indicating a desire to tag an event in the digital content. A user interface is then provided to receive a predicted biometric response from the content designer, the predicted biometric response comprising a biometric response that is expected to be observed in end users when the end users experience the event. An identifier for the event and the predicted biometric response is then stored so that it is associated with the digital content.

Abstract: A system includes a brain activity sensor sensing electrical activity of a students' brain and a device that receives messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a first value for an attribute of instruction and that determines a first attention level from the received messages. The device receives additional messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a second value for the attribute of instruction and determines a second attention level from the additional received messages. The device then determines an attention variability for the attribute of instruction based on a change in attention level from the first attention level to the second attention level.
