Methods of manufacturing including subjecting a release liner of the label to a die cut slightly larger than the size of an intended RFID inlay to form the separable inner release liner portion and outer release liner portion and applying a RFID inlay to a back surface of a release liner within the die cut inner release liner portion.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to systems and methods for generating a multi-part place identifier with at least one part. The system includes logic to receive a location address and a place name wherein the location address is a validated address. The system includes logic to calculate a geocode for the location address and use the geocode to identify a geometrical boundary encompassing the location address. The system includes logic to convert the identified geometrical boundary to an alpha-numeric identifier forming a Where part of the multi-part place identifier. The system can use an input location address or a place name to match a previously generated and stored multi-part place identifier. The system can provide the generated or matched multi-part place identifier to a user for use in further analysis.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to systems and methods for finding a multi-part place identifier with at least one part. The system includes logic to receive an input including an input location address and validate the input location address (e.g., using coding accuracy support system or CASS). The system includes logic to access a database storing records of validated addresses and corresponding multi-part place identifiers using the validated address. The system includes logic to match the validated input address to an address in the stored records in the database and retrieve corresponding matched multi-part place identifier with at least a Where part. The Where part includes an alpha numeric identifier indicating a geometrical boundary for the matched validated input address. The system can provide the matched multi-part place identifier with at least the Where part to a user for use in further analysis.

Abstract: Embodiments of a combustor assembly for a turbine engine are generally provided. The combustor assembly includes a first separable portion defining a dome assembly, and a second separable portion defining a deflector assembly. The first separable portion and the second separable portion are coupled together at a fitted interface.

Abstract: During a pandemic like COVID-19, real-time automated virus-monitoring and predictive models are crucial. The solution of this disclosure is through the development of a novel systems approach of implementing AI into visual cameras for visible characteristics such as facial and physical recognition and thermal imaging and other wavelength capture sensors such as thermal body characteristics which are then integrated with community mapping to resolve issues and predict trends before they happen. The system finds the distance between groups of people in classrooms, buildings, or other physical structures to locate pinch and possible virus contagion points in remote areas. Forehead to forehead measurement is one method as a novel approach to capture distance quickly. This is integrated into a distance statistical metric such as the Manhattan Distance Metric model to exemplify any two people who are less than 6 feet away and community mapping to identify and predict areas of concern.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet having a rotating drum operably positioned therein for processing fabric. At least one transducer is positioned proximate the drum that provides an ultrasonic resonance that is directed into an interior chamber of the drum. The ultrasonic resonance is adapted to be directed into damp fabric being treated within the interior chamber. The ultrasonic resonance serves to modify water trapped within the damp fabric into a substantially gaseous form.

Abstract: Illness states are reported to create disparate data sets associated with illness reports. The illness reports are verified by comparing and correlating information in the data sets. Illness reports are indicated by location-specific markers displayed on a map of a particular geographical region of interest by a computing device having a display screen. Illness reports having associated data in both data sets are considered to be verified, and thus to have a higher level of relevance as more reliable, more persuasive, more severe, and/or more accurate. Verification indicators are displayed on the display screen in association with each marker for which the associated illness report has been verified. Accordingly, reported illnesses are displayed on a geographically-relevant basis in differentiated fashion to provide a visual indication of verified and unverified reported illnesses.
