  • Patent number: 10733565
    Abstract: Described is an interactive data processing system configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative values generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative values associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative values accurately reflects the actual event. The sensor data and tentative values may be provided to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative values. The selected tentative value and the sensor data may be used to train the automated system.

  • Patent number: 10724895
    Abstract: Described are systems and techniques configured to test sensors in a materials handling facility. In one implementation, an age of a user in the facility and a predicted path through the facility may be determined. Physical access controls may be initiated at inventory locations along the predicted path and adjacent to the user. The physical access controls may include deployment of physical barriers, activation of locks, and so forth. As another user who is permitted access approaches a particular inventory location, the physical access controls may be deactivated.

  • Publication number: 20160257105
    Abstract: A decal removal assembly includes a plate that is structured to have a steam space extending therein. The plate may be positioned proximate a surface such that the steam space surrounds a decal adhered to the surface. A handle is attached to the plate and the handle is in fluid communication with the steam space. A nozzle is attached to the handle and the nozzle has a distal end with respect to the handle. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the steam space and the distal end may be fluidly coupled to a steam source. Steam from the steam source is directed into the steam space thereby facilitating removal of the decal from the surface. A plurality of couplers is provided and each of the couplers is attached to the plate. Each of the couplers engages the surface such that the plate is retained on the surface and each of the couplers is positioned proximate one of four corners of the plate.

  • Patent number: 8938791
    Abstract: A method for dynamically assigning a displayable realm name begins upon receipt of an authentication request to an application, such as a web application, being executed by an application server. In response, a determination is made whether an application realm name has been set in a configuration file associated with the application. If not, a custom display property is then evaluated. If the custom display property is set true, a realm name associated with an active authentication mechanism is retrieved and provided for display in an authentication panel. If the custom display property is set false, a default string is provided for display in the authentication panel. In this manner, an application server administrator can control what realm name is displayed to an end user in the event an application developer has not specified the realm name in the application configuration.

  • Publication number: 20140278248
    Abstract: A method and system for administering enterprise appliances facilitates maintenance, procurement, deployment and security of enterprise appliances by taking targeted administrative actions in response to detected power anomalies experienced by such appliances. By using detected power anomalies as triggers for targeted administrative actions, rather than waiting for administrators to be notified of problems with enterprise appliances by workers or departments to which such appliances are assigned, problems with enterprise appliances are resolved more quickly and costs to the enterprise arising from such problems are reduced.

  • Patent number: 8707405
    Abstract: A method for selectively refreshing group membership for an identifier associated with an authenticated user. The identifier represents an application server security context, and it is generated to enable a user credential associated with the authenticated user to be persisted. Following such authentication, the client is provided with a time-bounded, renewable security token. The method begins by configuring an option whether group membership information is refreshed during renewal of an expired security token. During renewal of an expired security token, the method determines whether the option is set. If so, an attempt is made to refresh information. This attempt performs a set of checks to verify certain conditions. If these checks are valid, the identifier is refreshed and the security token renewed with updated group membership information. If any check is not valid, the identifier is refreshed and the security token renewed with existing information.

  • Patent number: 8655277
    Abstract: A workspace energy management method and system control the power state of workspace appliances using multi-factor presence detection and mobile phone identity verification. Multifactor presence detection substantially reduces the risk that workspace appliances will be powered-up in response to erroneous detection of presence at the workspace (e.g., false positive). Mobile phone identity verification, which verifies that the office worker's mobile phone is at the workspace (and thus that the office worker is also likely at the workspace) before workspace appliances are powered-up, prevents workspace appliances from being inadvertently powered-up by personnel other than the office worker, but without compromising worker privacy.

  • Patent number: 8656202
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a plug network based on appliance identification. In a basic implementation, when a new appliance is activated on the plug network, a power usage profile for the new appliance is computed based on current and voltage measurements. The new appliance is classified into an appliance class based on the power usage profile. A power management action message respecting the new appliance is generated based on the class and is outputted. By judiciously configuring the power management actions applicable to different appliance classes, a business can monitor which types of appliances are attached by employees to power outlets and/or set the terms and conditions under which such appliances operate.
