Abstract: A search engine coupled to a database of product information is provided a search query having a datapoint and the search engine uses at least the datapoint to generate a search result. A vendor system associated with the search engine subsequently uses one or more interactions with the generated search result to update a conversion value that is linked within a datastore of the vendor system to the datapoint. When it is determined by the vendor system that the updated conversion value that is linked within the datastore to the datapoint was caused to exceed a predetermined threshold value, the vendor system causes a notification to be sent to one or more consumers that previously provided the datapoint for use in a search by the search engine.

Abstract: A vending system including a vending machine and a robot. The robot can be adapted to retrieve product from the vending machine for delivery to a user. When the vending machine is mobile, the robot can alternatively move the entirety of the vending machine to a product delivery location.

Abstract: A computer vision system, which can accurately, quickly, and simultaneously identify multiple SKUs and SKU categories from multiple images taken at a customer's location and that will allow a customer and/or a sales representative to quickly create definitive lists of SKUs and SKU categories that a target vendor sells.

Abstract: A method for assessing content management includes identifying business critical information across processes and groups within the organization, identifying transactions between users within the organization which are associated with the business critical information; identifying major value chain processes within the organization for managing the business critical information and their associated transactions; analyzing the role and flow of the business critical information and their associated transactions within the major value chain processes to develop a set of modifications to the major value chain processes for achieving an optimized flow; measuring the flow of the business critical information and their associated transactions to determine a baseline flow; and modifying the major value chain processes in accordance with the set of developed modifications and measuring the flow of the business critical information and their associated transactions until the optimized flow has been achieved.

Abstract: The refrigeration cycle uses an evaporation zone prior to compression and a condensation zone after the latter, in which the thermodynamic fluid used in the cycle as well as the fluid used in the cold-exchange and heat-exchange cycles is water. The installation is operated on the basis of dynamic compression in two separate compression stages linked to one another by at least one zone with de-superheating and enclosed in a hermetically sealed and heat-insulated enclosure confining the vapor at very low pressure; the wheels of these two stages are mounted directly on the opposite ends of the shaft of a common, sealed, variable speed electric motor disposed inside the enclosure between these stages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit breaker device for assembly and electrical connection of modular power apparatuses. This device is designed to perform electrical connection of a plurality of power apparatuses, such as circuit breakers, installed together on the same mounting rail with auxiliary units. The set of electrical power apparatuses are electrically connected and/or supplied with power up-line by a connecting comb. This comb is in the form of a bus comprising at least one conducting bar extending generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail and generally perpendicularly to one of the faces of the cases, the bars each being connected to one of the phases or to the neutral. Contact strips of the power apparatuses are electrically and selectively connected up-line to one conducting bar by a connector in the form of double-blades or double-grips, cooperating via one of their ends with the contact strips of the apparatuses and via their opposite ends with the conducting bars.

Abstract: An electrical protection apparatus is disclosed, including a circuit breaker and an effector. The circuit breaker includes a first switch circuit including stationary and movable contacts, provided between input and output terminals. The effector includes a second switch circuit that is provided in series with the first switch circuit. Further, the circuit breaker includes an actuating mechanism for opening the contacts, electromagnetic and thermal trip devices for controlling the actuating mechanism, and first and second guiding horns spaced apart from each other and defining therebetween an arc extinguishing chamber. The first arc guiding horn is electrically connected with the movable contact to the input terminal, while the second arc guiding horn includes a switching electrode extending therefrom, the switching electrode being spaced apart from the stationery contact via an insulating gap.
