  • Publication number: 20260061720
    Abstract: A method of producing a mailer is described. The method includes: placing a first paper on a first unwind cradle, where the first paper includes a first side coated with a heat sealable coating and an uncoated second side; placing a second paper on a second unwind cradle, where the second paper includes a first side coated with the heat sealable coating and an uncoated second side; mating the first paper and the second paper using a heated band roller running in a machine direction, forming a mated paper; folding the mated paper, forming a folded mated paper; and heat sealing, without use of adhesive, the folded mated paper to create a width of the mailer.

  • Publication number: 20250348546
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for extracting webpage features using coded data packages for page heuristics. A service provider server may provide website agnostic tools that account for differences in webpage layouts. This may be done using coded data packages designed to consider webpage heuristics of different webpages. These data packages include entries that have a term, a weight, and an optional scope for searching or filtering webpage elements in webpage document code for webpages. U sing multiple entries in a data package, a decision may be returned of whether a webpage includes a certain feature, data, or element, as well as data for the element. The identified feature may be used for data extraction and/or determination, which may allow one or more applications and/or browser extensions to provide services across multiple different websites without specifically formulating the data packages for certain website styles.

  • Publication number: 20250156409
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for narrowing a scope of a search on a computing device to provide relevant search results to the user. Prior to receiving a search query from the user in a search box of a desktop taskbar, scope options are communicated for presentation from which the user can select. These scope options enable the user to select from web-based searches and local searches. A selection is received form the user of one of the scope options. Suggested search results are generated based on this scope option selection. At least one suggested search results is communicated for presentation on a display of the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20250086694
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for enhancing a merchant product webpage by providing additional content associated with a product being displayed on the merchant product webpage. A product catalog stores product records corresponding to data associated with different products. As a webpage is accessed by a user device, data is extracted from the merchant product webpage. The extracted data is used to identify one or more product records in the product catalog that are potential matches to the webpage. When multiple product records are identified, a remote server is used to access and interact with the webpage separate from the user device. Additional data is extracted from the webpage based on interactions by the remote server with the webpage. The additional data is used to determine a single product record for the webpage. The webpage is modified based on the single product record.

  • Publication number: 20250081289
    Abstract: A processing server assists in selectively removing or opting-out a client device from further communications. The processing server includes a hardware processor, and memory storing computer instructions that when executed perform transmitting a message to an entity, indicating directions to opt-out of receiving further communications, receiving, in response to the transmitting of the message, a reply, from the entity, inferring an intent of the reply pertaining to opting-out of receiving communications, and selectively terminating the communications based on the inferred intent.

  • Publication number: 20240429598
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for calibration of satellite communication antennas are disclosed. An example aerial vehicle includes an antenna; an attitude sensor; machine-readable instructions; and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to at least identify a first angular position of the antenna associated with a peak power of a signal received by the antenna when the aerial vehicle is at a first heading; identify a second angular position of the antenna associated with a peak power of a signal received by the antenna when the aerial vehicle is at a second heading, the second heading different than the first heading; determine an offset between the attitude sensor and the antenna based on the first angular position and the second angular position; and cause a pointing angle of the antenna relative to an external source to be adjusted based on the offset.

  • Patent number: 12149332
    Abstract: A mobile communication system for sending data to one or more satellite resources over a wireless connection includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data into a database and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the mobile communication system to receive a primary service data stream and a secondary service data stream, and determine a bandwidth utilization efficiency of the wireless connection between the mobile communication system and the one or more satellite resources. In response to determining the wireless connection has available headroom, the primary service data stream is combined with the secondary service data stream to create an aggregated data packet. In response to determining the aggregated data packet is less than or equal to the size of the available headroom, the mobile communication system transmits the aggregated data packet over the wireless connection.
