Publication number: 20150221014Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining an item group and generating a group representation for the item group are provided. Accordingly, item data associated with a user may be accessed. The item data may include item temporal data. Item relationships between pieces of the item data corresponding to items may be identified. The item relationships may include a temporal relationship that may be based on the item temporal data. An item group associated with the items may be determined based on the item relationships. A group representation corresponding to the item group may be generated. The group representation may summarize the items associated with the item group. The methods and systems may cause presentation of the group representation to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2014Publication date: August 6, 2015Applicant: EBAY INC.Inventors: Jonathan Gabbai, James Tenniswood

Patent number: 6180939Abstract: A temperature compensation system (300) is provided for compensating measurements from a sensor (240). A temperature transducer (310) is placed in close proximity to a manufacturing workstation as a means of measuring the ambient temperature associated with the workstation (200). A reference workpiece (100) is placed within a sensing zone of the sensor (240). The system (300) includes a temperature compensating module (320) that is connected to the sensor (240) and to the temperature transducer (310) for determining a baseline measurement of the reference workpiece at a reference temperature. The temperature compensating module (320) is further adapted for collecting a plurality of measurements of the reference workpiece over a plurality of temperatures for establishing a relationship between these measurements and their corresponding temperature values.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1998Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Perceptron, Inc.Inventors: Myles Markey, Jr., Dale R.
