Abstract: Currently, significant technological obstacles prevent the automation of campaign configuration. Embodiments overcome these obstacles using an artificial intelligence (AI) model (e.g., comprising a k-nearest neighbor algorithm) that determines historical segments that match a target segment, based on one or more segment attributes. One or more thresholding criteria of a performance filter are applied to campaign configurations, associated with these matching historical segments, to determine one or more campaign configurations to be recommended. If one of these recommended campaign configurations is accepted, campaign settings for a new campaign may be auto-populated according to the accepted campaign configuration, such that a new campaign, with expected high performance, can be easily configured.

Abstract: A release logic system for releasing cartons into a fulfillment system is described. In an example implementation, a release logic engine may receive carton data representing a set of cartons and indicating picks for each the set of cartons. The release logic engine may determine a score for a carton of the set of cartons based on a location of a first pick of the carton in a pick-to-cart area of a fulfillment center. In some implementations, the release logic engine may assign the carton to a cart adapted to transport cartons based on the score determined for the carton, and may induct the carton into the fulfillment center for the first pick using the cart.

Abstract: A method of processing off gas from a chemical plant, where the off gas includes carbon dioxide and water. The processing of the off gas involves separating the off gas into a gas phase and a liquid phase and using one or more ion-exchange resin bed(s) and one or more granular activated carbon bed(s) to separate unwanted organic materials from the liquid phase. Based on this separation, water can be recovered that has less than 10 wt. % of the unwanted organic compounds originally in the liquid phase of the off gas.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes for reducing interruptions due to a presentation timestamp restart (PTSrs) are provided. A process includes receiving content data packets identifiable by a timestamp. The timestamps vary between a PTSmin and a PTSmax. When PTSmax is reached, a next data packet is restarted at substantially equal to PTSmin. The process includes first determining whether one of the timestamps have restarted and, if so, generating a loop over index file associating a first timestamp with a first index value (A), a second timestamp with a second index value (B), a third timestamp with a third index value (C), and a fourth timestamp with a fourth index value (D). PTSrs may be detected when the second timestamp is greater than the fourth timestamp or when the first timestamp is greater than the third timestamp. When a restart occurs, adjustments to content playback sequence are made using the index values.

Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for using an HTML-based application integrated with an embedded browser on a client device, for trusted data transfer for instance. An HTML-based application within an embedded browser of a client device can provide access to a network application and its resources. The HTML-based application can establish a secure session for the network application between a server and the HTML-based application. The embedded browser can determine that the HTML-based application is a trusted application via application of one or more policies. With the secure session established and responsive to determining that the HTML-based application is a trusted application, the embedded browser may establish at least one virtual channel between the embedded browser and the HTML-based application. Using the at least one virtual channels, the embedded browser can transfer data between the secure session of the network application and the operating system (OS) of the client device.

Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for securely managing browser plugins via embedded browser. The solution enables a client application or embedded browser to dynamically load the browser components into the embedded browser based on a risk or security profile and one or more policies. The policies can be centrally managed to enable only allowed browser components to be loaded within the embedded browser for a given risk profile. Based on the risk profile, a session established by the embedded browser can be transferred from the client application to a hosted browser at a secure server. When the session is transferred to the hosted browser, the present system can also redirect the browser component configurations to the hosted browser such that the same browser components are enabled, disabled, or modified at the hosted browser.
