Publication number: 20210065213Abstract: A method for analyzing interactions of a customer with an organization includes obtaining data regarding interactions of the customer with the organization. The data is obtained from a plurality of sources and aggregated into a plurality of categories. Using a data model, a value for aggregated data in a category at a time period is predicted. An actual value for the aggregated data for the category at the time period is obtained. A determination is made as to whether a difference between the value predicted for the aggregated data for the category and the actual value for the aggregated data for the category exceeds a threshold. When the difference between the value predicted for the aggregated data for the category and the actual value for the aggregated data for the category exceeds the threshold, one or more actions is taken regarding the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2015Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Evelyn Ujanen, Daniel Dixon, Cigdem Gencer

Patent number: 7730772Abstract: A wireless and batteryless pressure sensor apparatus comprises of a SAW sensor and an antenna mounted on a printed circuit board. Optionally, and RFID tag in used in combination with the SAW sensor. A sensor antenna and a RFID antenna can be located on the printed circuit board such that the antennas communicate electrically with the sensor and the RFID device. The sensor can be interrogated utilizing a radio frequency, which is used to excite a SAW crystal inside the sensor. The interrogation signal causes the SAW to resonate wherein a resonant frequency changes with the pressure and temperature that is applied to the sensor. An interrogator can receive a return (echo) signal representing a change in SAW sensor properties (e.g., diaphragm change). A printed circuit board can be mounted on a stainless steel port and overpackaged with standard processes for hermetically sealing the sensor, or sensor and RFID device with at least one antenna.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: James D.

Patent number: 7726184Abstract: The SAW sensor in a stainless steel button package having a diaphragm and mounted on a threaded port. Package can hermetically seal a sensor and RFID-antenna assemblies from media. Sensor diaphragm is exposable to media. Sensor and RFID antennas communicate electrically with SAW sensor and RFID device, respectively, for sensor measurements and identification. Antennas receive RF interrogation signal from a nearby interrogator/transceiver and send reflected RF signals back to the interrogator unit containing sensor measurement and sensor ID. TRF signal excites a SAW resonator inside the sensor and causes the SAW to resonate wherein resonant frequency changes with pressure and temperature applied to the sensor. Antennas could be printed circuit board antennas, helical antennas, loop antennas, any other commercially available off-the-shelf antennas or a combination of these.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: James D.
