  • Publication number: 20250052480
    Abstract: A refrigerator door has an inner surface that faces rearward toward an interior compartment of the refrigerator and a front, outer surface opposite the inner surface. A peripheral edge surface of the door is disposed between the inner and outer surfaces. A pocket handle extends along at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the door, where the pocket handle defines a recessed surface. A handle assembly includes a mounting portion that is attached to the recessed surface of the pocket handle. The mounting portion extends forward and supports a handle portion at a spaced distance forward from the outer surface of the door.

  • Patent number: 12207166
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of operating an autonomous vehicle (AV), including: detecting an alert condition within the AV via data from an electronic sensor suite of the AV; based at least in part on detecting the alert condition, automatically initiating a call with another party; and communicatively coupling a passenger of the AV to the conference call, whereby the passenger can communicate with the other party via the conference call.

  • Patent number: 11636502
    Abstract: A computer system may access an attributization rule and convert, based on the attributization rule, profile data into attributes for a robust recipient profile. The system may identify, based on tag logic, tags that are associated with the attributes. The tag logic may include instructions to compare the attributes with predetermined attributes associated with the tags. The system may map the identified tags to the recipient identifier. The system may perform communication with a mobile device based on the robust recipient profile and a real-time location of the mobile device. To perform the communication, the system may monitor the plurality of data channels for data comprising real-time location information for the mobile device. The system may determine the mobile device is proximate to a physical object that is associated with the tag and the system may transmit offer information to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10721509
    Abstract: A computer system constructs a decision-predictive recipient profile using sensatory data tied to an online profile of a recipient. After obtaining base sensatory data tied to the online profile of the recipient, the system may filter the base sensatory data by searching the base sensatory data for one or more machine-cognizable characteristics. The filtered sensatory data may be provided to an execution group, which may review displays of the sensatory data. Responsive to the displays of the sensatory data, the execution group may generate descriptors of the content of the filtered sensatory data and send the descriptors to the system. The system may process the descriptors to generate or augment the decision-predictive recipient profile.

  • Patent number: 10198738
    Abstract: A computer system constructs a robust recipient profile. The system receives data associated with recipient digital interactions from, e.g., streaming and/or batch sources. The recipient data may include digital transactional data, social media data, or other recipient-specific information. The system may employ heuristic data ingestion processing to derive further data based on the data inputs and attributization, and thereby may develop a robust recipient profile by aggregating the processed and derived data. The system may implement production rules to determine recipient-specific custom metadata based on the robust recipient profile to transmit to the recipient.
