Abstract: Among other things, a computing system receives data from a user device. The data may be about one or more users and can indicate one or more content preferences associated with a first user. The computing system also receives provider data from a provider system. The provider data may be about one or more products that are offered for procurement from the provider. The computing system stores the provider data about the one or more products and at least a subset of the data about the one or more users in a memory of the system. The computing system generates a user-specific interface that is provided for output to the user device. The user-specific interface is generated using the data about at least one product and based on at least one content preference of the first user.

Abstract: A system for measuring the position of one or more object in an area of interest. The system has an ultra wideband position measurement system with a plurality of beacons which are each located in separate fixed positions with respect to the area of interest; and one or more portable tag which is attachable to the object and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

Abstract: A system and method for measuring the position of one or more object in an area of interest. The system has a primary beacon located at a first fixed position in or near the area of interest which generates a time referenced primary signal, two or more secondary beacons located at different fixed positions in or near the area of interest which generate time referenced secondary signals and one or more portable tag, the portable tag being attachable to the object. The portable tag has a portable tag circuit for calculating the distance of the portable tag to the primary and secondary beacons by means of a time of flight calculation which uses, the known position of the primary and secondary beacons, time referenced signals and delay information associated with the time referenced signals, such that the portable tag calculates its own position.
