Abstract: A system and method for implementing a client service aspect of an enterprise, in which clients interact with representatives via a variety of different communication channels (e.g., phone, chat, text, email). A client contacting the enterprise may be identified. After which, an internal client identification and all available client information may be retrieved from a centralized data store. A representative may quickly and easily search this information to facilitate the interaction. After a purpose of the interaction is given or determined (e.g., request a quote, or account status), the client may be prioritized based upon that purpose and/or transferred to a less busy or otherwise more appropriate communication channel. Any new client information generated during the interaction is indexed and added to the data store. A work schedule for the client service aspect may be adjusted based upon client prioritizations, channel usages, and/or projected future workloads.

Abstract: An AHU comprises a cabinet, a heat exchanger and a blower. The cabinet has an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, panels are provided on sides of the cabinet forming an air flow path for air flowing through the air handling unit between the air inlet opening and the air outlet opening. The heat exchanger is disposed in the air flow path and adapted to conduct heat exchange between air passing through the air flow path and a working medium flowing in the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes an inlet header for supplying the working medium and an outlet header for collecting the working medium. The heat exchanger is slanted with respect to a side of the cabinet such that the inlet header and the outlet header extend through one of the sides of the cabinet for providing access to the inlet header and the outlet header from the one of the sides of the cabinet. The blower is vertically disposed relative to the heat exchanger in the cabinet for forcing air to flow through the air flow path.

Abstract: A computing device, method and computer program product are provided to generate training data for a machine learning system including training data representative of one or more edge scenes. In the context of a computing device, the computing device includes a simulator configured in accordance with a sampling algorithm to create a plurality of different scenes, including one or more edge scenes, within a scenario that is at least partially defined by one or more parametric attributes. The computing device also includes a physics engine generate training data representative of the plurality of different scenes including the one or more edge scenes. The physics engine is configured to modify the one or more parametric attributes to generate additional and different training data based upon another plurality of different scenes created by the simulator within another scenario that is at least partially defined by one or more parametric attributes, as modified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container (3) comprising a first chamber (4) containing a foamable liquid; a self-heating element (5) which is in thermal contact with the foamable liquid; a pressurized gas which is contained in the first chamber or in a second chamber allowing release of the pressurized gas to the first chamber; and an outlet valve (1) which is in liquid communication with the first chamber. The container and/or the outlet valve can be used for dispensing foam and aerated liquid, preferably milk foam. Preferably the foamable liquid is milk, preferably dairy milk or plant based milk, more preferably pasteurized and/or sterilized dairy milk.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring battery usage information. In an embodiment, battery usage data is received from a battery energy storage system comprising a battery pack. The battery usage data may include battery identification information, one or more battery sensor measurements for a period of time, and a cumulative warranty value for the battery pack. A project to which the battery pack belongs may then be determined based on the received battery identification information. Finally, the battery usage data may be stored in a warranty database. The warranty database may store battery usage data for a plurality of battery packs. The warranty database may further be partitioned by project, and the battery usage data for is stored in a partition of the warranty database for the determined project.

Abstract: A shopping cart with the trailing end brake kit, includes a trailing end brake installed on each rear wheel of the shopping cart. The trailing end brake kit can be easily installed on any existing shopping cart in the field. The trailing end brake kit has a brake lever with an ON and OFF position, which is operated by their foot. To unlock the shopping cart's wheels, the operator must lift up the lever in the OFF position with the foot to disengage the lock on the wheels. To lock the shopping cart's rear wheels, the operator must push the lever to the ON position with their foot to prevent the shopping cart rear wheels from moving.
