Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a subscriber device, a request including virtual region characteristics and an occupancy threshold, and determining, using image data captured by a camera and the virtual region characteristics, a virtual region corresponding to a portion of a physical region within a field of view of the camera. The virtual region is smaller than the physical region. The method also includes determining, using the image data, an occupancy of the virtual region and determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold. In response to determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold, the method also includes generating a notification to the subscriber device.

Abstract: A cash trapping monitor apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a monitor printed circuit board (PCB) interposed between a shutter assembly PCB and a dispenser/recycler PCB. The monitor PCB is connected/interfaced to a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor and an ultrasonic sensor both of which are situated behind a shutter blade in a media chute of a media handling device. Blade states reported by the shutter are changed by the monitor PCB before reporting to the dispenser/recycler PCB when distance measurements provided by the sensors indicate a cash trapping device is present in the chute, indicate that the shutter blade is missing, and/or indicate an original shutter blade was replaced with a different shutter blade.

Also set forth are methods of making and using these electrochemical cells.

Abstract: Provided are separators for use in an electrochemical cell comprising (a) an inorganic oxide and (b) an organic polymer, wherein the inorganic oxide comprises organic substituents. Also provided are electrochemical cells comprising such separators.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing network applications. For instance, system(s) may install a network application on a first virtual server. The system(s) may then receive first data representing events that occurred during a first launching of the network application on the first virtual server. Using the events, the system(s) may generate second data for optimizing a second launching of the network application on a second virtual server and store the second data in one or more databases. As such, after installing the network application on the second virtual server, the system(s) may provide the second virtual server with the second data so that the second virtual server may use the second data to optimize the second launching of the network application. In some examples, using the second data reduces the amount of time that it takes for the second virtual server to launch the network application.

Abstract: A gutter guard apparatus that is configured to superposed the upper opening of a conventional gutter wherein the present invention inhibits debris from entering the gutter and further prevents ice accumulation or build-up in the gutter passage. The present invention includes a body wherein the body has a bottom with opposing sidewalls contiguously formed therewith. The bottom of the body includes a plurality support wall members extending upwards therefrom. The support wall members form longitudinal channels wherein the longitudinal channels have a plurality of apertures formed in the bottom thereof. A fascia sealing member is operably coupled to the body proximate the first longitudinal sidewall. A heating element channel is present adjacent to the second longitudinal sidewall and is configured to receive an retain therein a heating element. A cover member is superposed the heating element channel. A screen mesh member is located across the opening of the body.
