  • Publication number: 20210365449
    Abstract: A method for dynamically creating and validating a predictive analytics model to transform data into actionable insights the method comprising: identifying an event, selectively tagging, based on analytics expertise, at least one time series data area (data area), where the identified event occurred, comparing data area where the identified event is tagged with the data area where the identified event is not tagged, building, based on analytics expertise, the predictive analytics model embodying the classification generated by selective tagging, displaying the visual indicia generated by executing the predictive analytics model, and validating the predictive model based on a feedback from at least one domain expert.

  • Patent number: 10891566
    Abstract: A device for managing material delivery productivity is disclosed. The device may receive information identifying a job site, a load zone, a dump zone, a quantity of loads, and a material. The device may provide, to a user device associated with a machine, information indicating that the load zone, the dump zone, the quantity of loads, and the material are assigned to the machine, and may receive, over a time period, location information associated with the machine. The device may determine statuses of the machine over the time period and based on the location information, and may calculate a dump count of the material and a quantity of material delivery cycles, for the machine and at a particular time, based on the statuses of the machine. The device may perform an action based on the dump count of the material and the quantity of material delivery cycles.

  • Publication number: 20200390066
    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting a male animal to masturbate can include: a tube with an end opening into a cavity, the end having a pair of flat surfaces extending therefrom; a plate with an receptacle extending therefrom, the receptacle corresponding to the tube to receive the same upon insertion, the pair of flat surfaces of the end engaging with a corresponding pair of orifices formed through the plate assembly to reversibly lock the tube against the plate. A female animal mannequin can have the plate installed therein. The tube and the receptacle of the plate can be approximately the same length to accommodate coupling there-between. Further, the pair of flat surfaces can each include a protrusion that removably engages with each orifice to reversibly lock the tube with the plate prior to masturbatory use of the tube by a male animal.

  • Patent number: 10853748
    Abstract: A device for managing material handling productivity is disclosed. The device may receive information identifying a moving zone for a job site, a quantity of loads for the moving zone, and a material for the moving zone, and may identify a first machine, from multiple machines, to assign to the moving zone, the quantity of loads, and the material. The device may provide, to a first user device associated with the first machine, information indicating that the moving zone, the quantity of loads, and the material are assigned to the first machine. The device may receive, from the first user device, location information associated with the first user device and the first machine, and may provide the location information to a second user device, associated with a second machine, to enable the second machine to travel to the first machine.

  • Publication number: 20200143344
    Abstract: An efficient interactive graphical user interface for scheduling transfers is disclosed. A method of providing such a graphical user interface includes displaying a calendar that includes days selectable and not selectable as either a transfer date for sending a transfer to a recipient or a transfer received date on which the transfer is intended to be received. Input may be received selecting either the transfer date or the transfer received date. The other of the transfer date and the transfer received date is then determined and an indication is displayed indicating the first date and the determined date. Further input may then be received selecting a second date different from the first date. The other date is then redetermined based on the second date. The display of the calendar is updated to replace the first visual indication with a second visual indication indicating the second date and the redetermined date.

  • Publication number: 20140156229
    Abstract: A method for performing fatigue-based topology optimization of a structure on a computational device is provided. The method may include receiving first data pertaining to a problem definition of the structure; generating a density filter; generating interpolation schemes for stiffness, volume and fatigue; generating a global fatigue measure; generating an adaptive normalization scheme; generating a regional fatigue measure; generating second data based on the first data, the density filter, the interpolation schemes, the global fatigue measure, the adaptive normalization scheme and the regional fatigue measure, the second data pertaining to an optimized solution to the problem definition; and displaying the optimized solution at an output device.
