  • Publication number: 20220284386
    Abstract: One example of computerized inventory redistribution control includes, for each location inventory record in a set of location inventory records, calculating a quantity change that will bring a current item quantity to a different item quantity for the location inventory record. Determining a cost of a minimum-cost redistribution among the physical locations to effect the quantity changes. Determining a scaling factor that maximizes total revenue when the quantity changes are scaled by the scaling factor after deducting the cost scaled by the scaling factor. Generating transfer instructions for a redistribution of the item by scaling the transfer quantities of the minimum-cost redistribution by the scaling factor. Transmitting each transfer instruction to a computing device associated with a physical location indicated in the transfer instruction.

  • Publication number: 20110111792
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing a wireless transceiver device includes a composite antenna that is configured to include both a low-frequency antenna and a high-frequency antenna that are connected in a series configuration. The composite antenna is supported by an integrated circuit that includes a low-frequency circuit, a high-frequency circuit, and an impedance matching circuit. The low-frequency circuit supports low-frequency communications over the low-frequency antenna without high-frequency suppression from the high-frequency circuit or high-frequency antenna. The high-frequency circuit supports simultaneous high-frequency communications over the high-frequency antenna without low-frequency suppression from the low-frequency circuit or low-frequency antenna.
