  • Patent number: 11974410
    Abstract: Aspects discussed herein include an electronic device and an associated connector interface. The electronic device comprises an enclosure that defines an internal volume, a plurality of external surfaces, and a recess from an external surface of the plurality of external surfaces. The recess has circumferential slot(s) extending to the external surface and that receive flange(s) of an external connector. The electronic device further comprises a connector interface connected with one or more electronic components disposed in the internal volume. The connector interface comprises first conductor(s) that are exposed at the recess. While the flange(s) are received in the circumferential slot(s), rotation of the external connector causes the flange(s) to slide within the circumferential slot(s) into a retained position, in which second conductor(s) of the external connector, having a fixed disposition relative to the flange(s), are connected to the first conductor(s).

  • Publication number: 20240111961
    Abstract: A system and method employs a chatbot into which a user can input an inquiry/question regarding a risk related topic is disclosed. The user can obtain an answer to the inquiry. The system and method can receive, via a chatbot interface, an inquiry. An intent of the inquiry can be determined using a natural language processing (NLP) model. The inquiry can be matched, using a classifier, to a related data set based on the determined intent. An output can be generated based on the related data set in response to the inquiry. The output can be transmitted for display on the chatbot interface.

The electronic device comprises an enclosure that defines an internal volume and a plurality of external surfaces. The enclosure comprises a thermal member exposed to the ambient environment at an opening defined through a first external surface. The thermal member has a greater thermal conductivity than other portions of the enclosure, which have a greater transmissibility of wireless signals than the thermal member. The plurality of external surfaces and the thermal member are disposed to prevent liquids from entering the internal volume. The electronic device further comprises a temperature sensor disposed in the internal volume, thermally contacted with the thermal member, and connected with wireless transmitter circuitry to wirelessly transmit measurements of the temperature of the ambient environment.

  • Patent number: 11797920
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement automated-checkout techniques for the purchase of items that are priced per unit weight. For example, the described systems may enable a facility to implement technology where users are able to remove items from inventory locations, where the inventory locations include weight sensors detecting the weights of the items that were removed. The system then determines the prices based on the weights and charges the users for the prices of the items without performing manual checkout of the items. The price of an item is determined based on the weight of the item and the price per unit weight of the item. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.

For example, the described systems may enable a facility to implement technology where users are able to remove items from inventory locations, place the items on weight sensors, and then be charged for the prices of the items without performing manual checkout of the items. The price of an item is determined based at least in part on the identifier of the item and the price per unit weight of the item. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.

  • Patent number: 11559098
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to generate a base digital file for a garment and a custom digital file for the garment, which may be used in garment production. For example, a system may receive information providing various specifications for manufacturing a garment, generate a base digital file for the garment, receive a request to transform the garment from a first garment size to a second garment size, and then generate a custom digital file for the garment by applying custom user body measurements to the base digital file or by applying a grading scale.

  • Publication number: 20200308591
    Abstract: Provided are methods of assessing activity of a promoter region. The methods include culturing a cell including a nucleic acid, the nucleic acid including a region that encodes an enzyme donor (ED) operably coupled to a promoter region, under conditions in which the ED is expressed when the promoter region is active. The methods further include contacting the ED, if expressed, with an enzyme acceptor (EA) to form ED-EA complexes having enzymatic activity. The methods further include detecting the level of the enzymatic activity to assess activity of the promoter region. Activity of the promoter region may be indicative, and therefore may be used to assess, the activity of a cellular signaling pathway of interest and/or of endogenous or exogenous (e.g., introduced) transcription factors of interest. Cells, compositions, and kits that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure, are also provided.
