Abstract: A method for synchronizing intelligent electronic units IEDs in a locally restricted network, which has at least two timing units. For a timing unit that has become functional again or has been reconnected to the network, checking whether the network contains a further timing unit in an active grandmaster role. Forcing the first timing unit into its slave state when another timing unit in the grandmaster role has been detected in the locally restricted network, wherein the first timing unit synchronizes with the timing unit in the grandmaster role. Once synchronization is complete, no longer forcing the first timing unit into the slave state. The first timing unit switches to the role of grandmaster timing unit when it is better suited to the grandmaster role, or it remains in its slave state when another timing unit in the network is better suited to the grandmaster role.

Abstract: An online concierge system facilitates order fulfillment by maintaining discrete time intervals for deliveries and a hierarchical data structure encoding picker characteristics. Each level in the tree structure represents a fulfillment capability and is assigned a value. Upon receiving an order specifying items and a time interval, the system applies a machine learning model to predict the number and capability levels of available pickers for the specified interval. The model is trained using historical data labeled with picker availability and their corresponding capability levels. Training includes predicting picker counts per level, computing an error metric, and updating model parameters to minimize error. The system further analyzes the order to assign tags that map to required picker characteristics, aligning them with corresponding levels in the tree structure.
