Abstract: A method of customized installation of access control hardware according to one embodiment includes capturing, by a camera of a mobile device, at least one image of an installation location for the access control hardware, generating a set of customized installation instructions for the access control hardware at the installation location based on the at least one image, and displaying the customized installation instructions on a graphical user interface of the mobile device.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor and a workspace observer comprising a program of instructions embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor. The workspace observer may be configured to when read and executed by the processor monitor interactions by a user with an existing user workspace of the information handling system, based on the interactions, generate a workspace efficiency indicative of an efficiency at which the user completes one or more tasks using the existing user workspace, and if the workspace efficiency is below a threshold efficiency, generate a new user workspace for the user to replace the existing user workspace.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating intercom communication for one or more quick-service restaurant drive-throughs are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: capture sound from a customer placing an order; generate order information signals that represent the captured sound; encode signals to form order data packets; transmit the order data packets to a base station through a single pair of wires that is also used to provide power; decode information from the order data packets; and generate order sound based on the decoded information, such that the generated order sound is audible to a staff member of the quick service restaurant through a headset.

Abstract: A modular block has lad wye plates configured on opposing sides of the block that carry the load from an axle fastener to load fasteners coupled to the eye. This configuration of the load wye plates enables the other components, including contact surface components such as the sheave, sheave wheel, side plates and bushings to be made of lower weight materials, such as polymers thereby increase the load to weight ratio of the modular block. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a preferred material for the contact components and high load capacities are realized with these polymeric components used in conjunction with the load wye plates. Also, the use of non-sparking polymeric or composite materials is required in some applications to prevent fire or combustion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for migrating and integrating data from one or more external locations to an internal location are disclosed. The system comprises multiple temporary locations to sort, transform, or store the data in the migration process. During the process, the data could be assigned various attributes, which are determined based on metadata associated with the original data. The system will track these attributes as the data moves through the various temporary locations.

Abstract: A system can arrange a plurality of transport services in a geographic region by matching received transport requests from requesters with standard vehicles to facilitate transport of the requesters to destinations indicated in the transport requests. The transport requests can comprise both requests for standard vehicles and high-capacity vehicle (HCV) requests from HCV requesters. Based on a set of transport services for HCV requesters, from the plurality of transport services, the system can determine over a specified duration of time, a set of demand data for HCV transport services in the geographic region. The system can then execute a route design model using the set of demand data to generate an HCV route network for the geographic region.

Abstract: A lid for a beverage container having a first drinking opening, a second drinking opening, and a selector. The selector is configured to linearly slide between a first position in which the first drinking opening is accessible and the second drinking opening is inaccessible, and a second position in which the second drinking opening is accessible and the first drinking opening is inaccessible.

Abstract: A pest control composition comprises from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % sodium lauryl sulfate; from about 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt % of a C6-C22 fatty acid or salt thereof; from about 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt % of an active ingredient selected from the group consisting of corn mint oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, rosemary oil, thyme oil, citronella oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, cedarwood oil, garlic oil, geranium oil, lemongrass oil, geraniol, eugenol, nerol, vanillin, 2-phenylethyl propionate, menthol, menthone, thymol, carvone, camphor, methyl salicylate, p-cymene, linalool, eucalyptol/1,8-cineole, alpha-pinene, bornyl acetate, gamma-terpinene, and mixtures thereof; from about 0.1 wt % to about 45 wt % of a solvent selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate, propylene carbonate, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate, butyl stearate, glycerin, and mixtures thereof; and from about 60 wt % to about 95 wt % water.

Abstract: Some embodiments described herein are directed to a lid for a beverage container including a lid base, a closure, and a handle. The lid base may define a drinking opening therethrough. The closure may be coupled to the lid base and movable between a closed position in which the closure covers the drinking opening and an open position in which the closure does not cover the drinking opening. The handle may be coupled to the lid base and rotatable about a handle rotation axis. When the closure is in the closed position, the closure remains in the closed position when the handle is rotated within a first handle range. In response to the handle being rotated beyond the first handle range when the closure is in the closed position, the closure automatically moves from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing distributed content to a mobile device (e.g., in a mobile vehicle) through multiple content access points along a particular route are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive a selection of media content and a selection of a particular route from a plurality of routes to enable navigation of a mobile vehicle from a start point to an end point calculated based on at least a number of content access points along each route. A computing device may divide the media content into a plurality of segments and send each segment to a respective planned content access point of a plurality of planned content access points along the particular route. In some embodiments, a mobile computing device within a mobile vehicle may receive a segment from each planned content access point to enable continuous uninterrupted playback of the media content.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for automated determination of certain physical characteristics of a trailer in a tractor-trailer truck and positional arrangement between the trailer and tractor of the truck. The technology may include a camera mounted on the tractor to acquire an image of at least a rear portion of the trailer; a sensor configured to acquire information relating to the trailer angle; a processor configured to determine a position of the rear portion of the trailer in the image, and determine the length of the trailer based at least in part on the determined position of the rear portion of the trailer in the image and the information relating to the trailer angle.
