According to certain embodiments, the systems and methods may facilitate the identification of a set of products or services purchased by an individual, and the determination of a reward level associated with the set of products or services. The systems and methods may select a digital animation, from a set of digital animations that is predetermined based on a set of probabilities, corresponding to the reward level, and present the digital animation in a user interface.

Abstract: A secondary battery module containing an energy storage device; an integrated voltage converter; power switching network; and charge controller that is configured via a variable pull-down resistor attached to an input contact to configure a plurality of autonomous modes without user input. The pull-down resistor is typically embedded in accessory cables or equipment attached to the battery module. Autonomous modes include energy harvesting, energy sharing, MPPT photovoltaic charging, USB port power source, programmable power supply, ideal diode output control, etc. In addition, the battery contains a digital communication bus that allows for full control of all functions by an external controller. A scalable power system is implemented with multiple battery modules attached to an external controller and common bus bar to increase power output and battery system capacity.

Abstract: A control input apparatus for operating an aerial lift system includes a control lever assembly that has at least one control lever and at least one position sensor. The at least one position sensor may indicate a position and/or a movement of the at least one control lever. The control input apparatus additionally incudes a control input element actuatable over a movement range from a non-actuated position to a fully-actuated position, and at least one interlock sensor that releases an interlock corresponding to the control lever assembly upon the control input element being actuated at least to an actuation threshold position located between the non-actuated position and the fully-actuated position. Upon the control input element being actuated at least to the actuation threshold position, the control input apparatus provides control inputs corresponding to the position and/or the movement of the control lever indicated by the at least one position sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating launch sites for a satellite constellation are provided. A carrier aircraft may be configured to launch a first satellite into the first orbit and a second satellite into the second orbit. In some embodiments, information about an accessible range of the aircraft may be received. Based on the received information, a geographical area that the aircraft can access without landing may be calculated. Using received information and the orbit parameters of the first orbit and the second orbit, a first launch site for launching the first satellite and a second launch site for launching the second satellite may be calculated. The first launch site may comprise a first geographical position and a first launch time, and the second launch site may comprise a second geographical position and a second launch time. Both launch sites may be within the calculated geographical area.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing three-dimensional printed oral stents are provided for head and neck radiotherapy. Movement of the jaw of the patient is simulated via a computer processor. Simulating movement of the jaw of the patient comprises rotating and translating a mandible of the jaw. A digital negative impression is transformed into a digital oral stent by adding support structures to the digital negative impression. The support structures facilitate three-dimensional (3D) printing of the patient-specific oral stent.

Abstract: A method and system for fairly and affordably connecting dispute litigants with self-help services, attorneys, judges, and juries is provided to open up new possibilities for resolving legal disputes in a privatized forum.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an invoice data store contains electronic records for invoices associated with customers and an enterprise, including an electronic record identifier and a set of attribute values. An electronic invoicing system computer server may receive invoice data (associated with a customer of the enterprise) from remote invoice platforms, and the server may create invoice documents in first and second formats based on information in the invoice data store. It may be determined that the invoice documents represent “work in process” and, as a result, the system may prevent the invoice documents from being transmitted to a customer device. An adjustment to the invoice document in an intermediate format is received and the invoice document in at least one of the first and second format is automatically updated. When it is later determined that the invoice documents no longer represent “work in process,” the system electronically transmits the invoice documents to the customer device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to maintain the privacy of a user's actions and/or experiences on a computer network. The user's privacy is maintained by making the user, the user's data and the user's tracks anonymous to network operators and content providers, while supporting pattern analysis for purposes including, but not limited to, analytics, reputation management, search, discovery, hashtag or geotag management. Unique and dynamically generated tokens are used to make the user's identity and actions anonymous during the user's activities, exchanges or communications on the computer network. Collected information regarding the actions of the anonymous users can be used to generate analytical data. However, the collected information is not associated with an individual user unless that user is a registered user and even then, a specific user's data and track are only available to that user.

Abstract: A system has a reputation management server that provides a reputation score for each subscriber based on ratings of the subscriber retrieved from one or more transactional servers. The data from the one or more servers is processed to provide an aggregated rating for each subscriber. Another user, such as a buyer or seller in a transaction with the subscriber, can access the reputation management server and be provided with access to the subscriber's rating(s). The reputation management server uses a statistical model to generate statistical data of subscribers based on their retrieved ratings, and the reputation management server assigns a percentile rating to subscribers based on the generated statistical data.

Abstract: A hashtag management system permits a user to review a ranked or unranked list of hashtags that are correlated with an object of interest and to manipulate the list, such as by adding or deleting hashtags or by rearranging the ranking and to use the list for the purposes of contextual search and/or discovery. Based on the inputs of multiple users manipulating the hashtags, the system determines trends and/or preferences, search and/or discovery priorities and provides information about the trends and/or preferences to users who may use such information in order to select one or more of the hashtags for sharing across a social media platform and/or for the purposes of search and/or discovery. Additionally, the system facilitates the process by which the selected hashtags are shared across social media platforms in conjunction with the corresponding object and/or searching and/or discovering related objects.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for capturing user analytics for user experiences on, for example, a website, mobile application, and/or at an offline location, venue and/or event without requiring a programmer to provide specialized code in each instance. When a user event occurs, such as a click or other selection of an object and/or user action, a user analytics system captures and stores information about the event. The captured information is such that an administrator or other user is capable of identifying the object and associated analytics by viewing the captured information and/or graphical representations thereof. In addition, a user may define a model flow for comparison to actual user flows by simply navigating through a website, mobile application, and/or at an offline location, venue and/or event in a manner that the user believes is similar to how other users will navigate through the website, mobile application, and/or at an offline location, venue and/or event.
