Abstract: In an embodiment, communication data including an interaction between at least two individuals in an organization is received via at least two communication platforms. Content of the interaction is extracted to produce extracted content. A frequency of interaction and a type of interaction between the at least two individuals is determined based on the extracted content. A map representative of social interaction within the organization is generated. The map includes an indication of the frequency of interaction and the type of interaction between the at least two individuals. A new frequency of the interaction and a new type of interaction for at least a first individual of the at least two individuals with another individual is determined based on the map. A signal representing the new frequency of interaction and the new type of interaction with the other individual in the organization is provided to a compute device.

Abstract: A method for harnessing a connected network to securely verify and execute a transaction is provided. The method may include requesting a PIN from a mobile device. The request may be transmitted via a USSD message. The method may also include receiving the PIN from the mobile device. The PIN may be received via a response to the USSD message. The method may also include authenticating the mobile device. The method may also include accessing a third-party network to verify an authentication status of the mobile device. The third-party network may include a plurality of IoT endpoints. Each IoT endpoint may include a stored verification usage process. The stored verification usage process may relate to a user associated with the mobile device. The method may also include executing the transaction upon receipt of an authentication signal from the third-party network.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data collected by an autonomous mobile robot as the autonomous mobile robot moves about an environment, the sensor data being indicative of sensor events and locations associated with the sensor events. The method includes identifying a subset of the sensor events based on the locations. The method includes providing, to a user computing device, data indicative of a recommended behavior control zone in the environment, the recommended behavior control zone containing a subset of the locations associated with the subset of the sensor events. The method includes defining, in response to a user selection from the user computing device, a behavior control zone such that the autonomous mobile robot initiates a behavior in response to encountering the behavior control zone, the behavior control zone being based on the recommended behavior control zone.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for scheduling and controlling a mobile robot based on user location, user behavior, or other contextual information. In an example, a mobile cleaning robot comprises a drive system configured to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment in a user's residence, and a controller circuit configured to receive an indication of a user entering or exiting a pre-defined geographical zone with respect to a location of the user's residence. Such indication may be detected using location and geofencing services of a mobile device. Based on the indication of the user entering or exiting the geofence, the controller circuit may generate a motion control signal to navigate the mobile cleaning robot to conduct a mission in the environment.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods allow a user, in a single set up process, to set up multiple sub-meetings in a compound meeting and have individualized invites sent to the invited individuals. A dynamic, interactive calendar graphic can be used where the user can drag meeting time indicators for each invited individual to desired time slots. Once suitable meeting times are established, the user can cause the invites to be sent electronically to each invitee, and each invite is individualized to the meeting start and stop times for the recipient.

Abstract: A mill includes a mill body defining a plurality of blades extending in a direction from a center or rotation of the mill body to a gauge surface. The blades define a cutting profile having a minimum diameter at a longitudinal endmost position. The minimum diameter is smaller than a diameter of a drop ball. The cutting profile has an intermediate diameter at most equal to the diameter of the drop ball at a longitudinal distance from the endmost position greater than the diameter of the drop ball. Shear cutters are mounted on at least one of the plurality of blades, mounted such that at least one shear cutter is mounted closer to a center of rotation of the mill body with respect to other cutters mounted to the blades. At least one insert is mounted to the at least one of the plurality of blades rotationally ahead of the shear cutters.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a mandolin slicer kit assembly comprising: a main body having two opposite side panels; a cutting blade mounted on the main body; a slicing plate carrier mounted between the two side panels of the main body; a plurality of slicing plates of different types, each of the slicing plates having a plurality of slicing teeth mounted on a top surface thereof and at least one recess formed on a bottom surface thereof; and an adapter plate having a leading portion, wherein said leading portion has at least one elastic rib for detachable engagement with the at least one recess of the slicing plate to form a slicing plate assembly, and said slicing plate assembly detachably is mounted on the slicing plate carrier. The mandolin slicer further comprises a slicing plate holder separate from all of the main body, the cutting blade, the slicing plate carrier, and the adapter plate.

Abstract: A seal segment is provided for a shroud ring of a rotor of a gas turbine engine. The seal segment is positioned, in use, radially adjacent the rotor. The seal segment has two or more spaced passageways. In use, a respective support bar can be contained within each passageway. The support bars allow attachment of the seal segment to the engine casing. Each passageway has an elliptical or substantially elliptical cross-section with a minor diameter and a major diameter, the minor diameter being substantially aligned with the radial direction. The respective support bar has a correspondingly elliptical or substantially elliptical cross-section for a close fit in the passageway.
