Abstract: Processors configured by aspects of the present invention collect pricing metrics that are applicable to restocking operations executed to restock different individual commodities within different respective ones of a plurality of networked bins. In response to determining that a quantity of a first commodity within a first of the bins is below a threshold restocking level, processors combine a first restocking operation that restocks a first restocking quantity of the first commodity within the first bin with a second restocking operation that restocks a second restocking quantity of a second commodity within a second bin of the plurality of bins into a combined restocking operation, in response to determining that executing the combined restocking operation generates a combination cost saving relative to a cost of executing the first restocking operation without combining with the second restocking operation.

Abstract: Systems, methods and tools for targeting campaign notifications during specific times that a user performs related activities or events. The targeted delivery system retrieves information describing the user's day to day activities and the timing of the activities from a plurality of data sources such as social media, browser history, downloads, search engine activity, emails, audio data, video data etc. From the collection of activity data, a schedule may be created that may segment each different activity or proclivity into a particular time slot where a pattern of an activity or proclivity generally occurs. The targeted campaign delivery systems identify a user's schedule and lifestyle, breaks down the schedule into a series of time slots and caters the delivery of context specific campaign notifications before, during or closely after the time frames when the relevant activities are typically scheduled to occur.

Abstract: A system and method for energy management for multi customer multi time zone distributed facilities are disclosed. In one embodiment, data associated with the energy management of the multi customer distributed facilities located in different time zones is obtained based on associated energy models by a data acquisition/integration layer. Further, the obtained data for energy management of the multi customer distributed facilities is transformed by a data management layer. Furthermore, control commands are generated using the transformed data and associated one or more pre-defined thresholds and set-points by an energy transaction layer. Also, energy of the multi customer distributed facilities is substantially simultaneously managed using the generated control commands by the energy transaction layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for recovering a polyester component and products of a non-polyester component from a fabric containing a polyester blend. The polyester component of the present disclosure is polyethylene terephthalate and the non-polyester component is wool. The process includes hydrolyzing the article using at least one hydrolyzing agent to convert the non-polyester component into products of the non-polyester component and release the polyester component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing performance of a power grid monitor are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving test data from a test power grid monitor coupled to a power grid signal source and receiving reference data from a reference power grid monitor coupled to the same power grid signal source. The method also includes identifying a power grid condition based on the received test data and/or reference data, extracting a subset of the test data and a subset of the reference data corresponding to the identified power grid condition, and comparing the subset of the test data to the subset of the reference data to determine a measurement accuracy of the test power grid monitor.

Abstract: Autonomic discovery and integration of complementary Internet services can include discovering a plurality of services that are complementary to an offered service and selecting a service from the plurality of services as a candidate for integration with the offered service. A new service can be automatically generated by integrating the candidate service with the offered service. The new service can be included in a service catalog.

Abstract: An initial user is selected and social data associated with the user is retrieved. Social contacts within the profile are identified and assessed for association with a product or product type. Social contacts are sorted according to their proximity to the initial user. Target or reference contacts are identified based on product association and proximity.

Abstract: A sensor-enabled smart device may be recommended to a user. The sensor-enabled smart device may be identified from a registry on a network. The smart device may have the ability to send and receive real-time data over the network. A value of the device, to the user, may be determined based on user analytics. A vendor through which to sell the device may be determined based on market analytics. A sale of the device via the vendor may be recommended to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects include geo-fence management using a cluster analysis technique. A set of dynamic user data is received from a set of users. The cluster analysis technique may be used to process the set of dynamic user data. Accordingly, a geo-fence opportunity event is detected using the cluster analysis technique. Based on a selection criterion with respect to the geo-fence opportunity event, it is determined to provide an opportunity for a subset of the set of users. In response to making the determination, the opportunity can be provided for/to the subset of the set of users.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects include geo-fence management using a cluster analysis technique. A set of dynamic user data is received from a set of users. The set of dynamic user data may have identification information which identifies one or more users, location information which indicates location for one or more users, and context information which indicates application context for one or more users. The cluster analysis technique may be used to process the set of dynamic user data. Accordingly, a geo-fence opportunity event is detected using the cluster analysis technique. Based on a selection criterion with respect to the geo-fence opportunity event, it is determined to provide an opportunity for a subset of the set of users. In response to making the determination, the opportunity can be provided for/to the subset of the set of users (e.g., sending a notification to the subset of the set of users).
