Abstract: A hybrid drive-thru door system that includes a door panel assembly movable between a plurality of operating modes. The door panel assembly includes a sliding door panel operable for movement between a closed position to at least partially cover a doorway opening and an opened position to at least partially expose the doorway opening. The sliding door panel has an upper sliding door panel member releasably attached to a lower sliding door panel member. The upper sliding door panel member is independently movable relative to the lower sliding door panel member in a window operating mode of the door panel assembly.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for storing data in a datastore. The method generally includes storing first data from a first data producer in a first file maintained in the datastore, receiving a read input/output (I/O) request to read the first data stored in the first file, in response to receiving the read I/O request, locking data in the first file to prevent further data from being stored in the first file, processing the read I/O request, and creating a second file for storing at least second data from the first data producer.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for a version agnostic application programming interface (API) for versioned file systems. A method of processing a read request in a versioned file system includes receiving a write request from a first client. The write request adds one or more files to a first set of files in a first version of a directory or removes one or more files from the set of files in the first version of the directory. The method includes generating a second version of the directory containing a second set of files comprising the first set of files after adding or removing the one or more files. The method includes receiving a read request from a second client for a file, where the file is not in the second set of files, and where the read request does not specify a file version. The method includes serving the read request from an earlier version of the directory than the second version of the directory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining sweepstakes winners involve a display providing a code to an end-user device and the end user-device providing the displayed code to a computer, which determines whether the displayed code is a winning code. Whether a code is a winning code can be based on a variable factor, such as a geographic location, a date, a time of day, a day of a week, a number of submissions by a particular person, valued activities performed by a particular person. The identification of a code as a winning code can be performed either before the code is provided to the display or after the code is received by the computer.

Abstract: A subset of unique codes is generated from a set of codes. The subset of codes are stored in a database on a secure server and each of the codes is marked on a corresponding instantiation of the product. The marked instantiations are distributed. During their distribution, the marked instantiations are verified for authenticity and for routing. This verification is performed by reading or scanning the codes on the instantiations, and transmitting that information to the secure server for comparison against the codes and other information located in the database contained of the secure server.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer implemented process for developing a model which predicts the value of a single dependent variable based on the value of at least one independent variable. The process comprises the steps of creating a dataset containing a plurality of observations each containing a value for the dependent variable and values for the at least one independent variable, creating from the dataset a plurality of original chromosomes each comprising a possible predictive model, developing a quantitative fitness measure for each chromosome, and creating a new generation of chromosomes by selecting a number of the original chromosomes based upon the fitness measures, crossing the selected original chromosomes by at least one of a cloning and a pure (standard) crossover technique, and mutating the crossed chromosomes. A system for carrying out the process of the present invention is also described.
