  • Patent number: 11790388
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for automatic coupon code fill in a mobile application. The system identifies a checkout page in a WebView of a mobile application and extracts field data from the checkout page. The system identifies a coupon code field and a cart total field from the field data. The system obtains one or more coupon code(s) and tests the one or more coupon code(s) in the checkout page. The one or more coupon code(s) are tested in the identified coupon code field to determine whether any of the coupon code(s) cause the value associated with the cart total field to decrease. In response to one or more coupon code(s) providing a reward on the checkout page, the system identifies a best coupon code, which it inserts in the identified coupon code field in the checkout page in the mobile application.

  • Publication number: 20230095226
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for identifying order-related data on a webpage using machine learning. The system identifies one or more HTML blocks on a webpage for further processing, where each HTML block includes one or more HTML tags that are each associated with metadata and a value. The system converts each of the HTML tags into a vector representation. The system applies a neural network model to each of the vector representations, resulting in another vector representation, which is converted into a machine-generated label prediction for each tag, where the neural network model is trained to predict labels, including order-related labels, corresponding to HTML tags. The system identifies order-related data on the webpage from the machine-generated label predictions for the HTML tags and the corresponding tag values. The system outputs the identified order-related data.

  • Patent number: 10745858
    Abstract: Methods of improving the drying rate of a cellulosic web, such as a tissue web, by providing an apparatus having two noncompressive dewatering devices, such as two through-air driers, where the temperature of the drying medium supplied to each device is separately controlled. The temperature of the medium supplied to the first device may exceed 450° F., such as from about 450 to about 600° F. On the other hand the temperature of the medium supplied to the second device may be less than the temperature supplied to the first, such as from about 350 to 450° F. Drying the web in this manner not only improves drying efficiency, but also limits or prevents degradation of the web, such as the combustion of cellulosic fibers making up the web or monosaccharides associated therewith. As such, webs that are substantially free from furan and acetaldehyde may be produced by the present methods.

  • Patent number: 10240292
    Abstract: Unlike conventional through-air drying processes the instant invention utilizes at least two through-air driers where the first dyer is at least partially encircled by a first through-air drying fabric and the second dyer is at least partially encircled by a second through-air drying fabric. By providing each through-air dryer with its own fabric the overall drying performance may be increased. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the first and second fabrics may be different to optimize both the drying performance and/or tissue product properties.

  • Patent number: 10239720
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved belted reel which is particularly well suited for the winding of soft, bulky tissue webs and overcomes the limitations of the prior art. The belted reel is capable of providing coordinated web tension and nip control by providing the winding parent roll with two nip points—the first nip formed between the winding roll and the second between the winding roll and a second support drum. Preferably the drum encircled by the endless belt lies above the second support drum and the first and second nip points lie in the same vertical plane.

  • Patent number: 10014991
    Abstract: Modifications to frame/subframe structure are presented herein so that a wireless device can transmit its data within a fraction of a subframe. The device obtains data to be transmitted in an unlicensed spectrum and determines whether an entire subframe is required to completely communicate the data. If the data is small enough to not require the entire subframe, then the device generates a burst transmission to minimize the time period of the subframe used to communicate the data. The device transmits the burst transmission and a parameter indicating the duration of the burst transmission.
