  • Patent number: 11962655
    Abstract: A method for managing a communication session includes receiving a request to perform a task. The task is divided into one or more steps. One or more user devices are identified that can be used to perform one or more of the steps. One or more communication channels are identified that are available to the one or more user devices.

  • Patent number: 11512179
    Abstract: A supported elastomeric foam (100) includes an elastomeric matrix (102) formed of an elastomer and including a reinforcement region (104) and a foamed region (106). The foamed region includes gas filled cells (108) in the elastomer, and the reinforcement region includes a porous layer (204) having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer. The foam can include an adhesive at a surface of the foam. A compressible seal (802) including a compressible body, which can be elastomeric foam, can also include a pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions about which the compressible body can deform to form a sea. The supported elastomeric foam can form a gas tight seal in an interface when placed under minimal compression.

  • Patent number: 11361285
    Abstract: A computerized method and system of validating a check at presentment for payment includes executing imaging software and decoding software stored in a computer memory housed in a computer, generating pixel data from the encoded indicia on the instrument, digitizing the pixel data to generate digital pixel data, storing the digital pixel data in the memory, generating a data set by decoding the digital pixel data, and transmitting the data set to a server over a network, wherein the server is configured to execute validation software to determine if the negotiable instrument has been previously presented for payment. The computer then receives a validation indicator back from said server to display on the computer.

  • Patent number: 11326037
    Abstract: A compressible seal (400A) includes a compressible body (406) having a first surface (410) and a second surface. A pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions (412) is formed of an adhesive connected with at least one of the first surface (410) or the second surface of the compressible body (406). The compressible body (406) is operable to conform around the pattern of adhesive regions (412) to prevent fluid ingress when the compressible body (406) is compressed.

  • Publication number: 20200185919
    Abstract: A system may include a resource distribution network and multiple control devices coupled to the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be configured to control a state of consumption of a resource from the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be further configured to receive data from a set of neighboring control devices, where the data indicates respective states of consumption of the resource associated with each of the neighboring control devices, determine an average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices based on the data, and calculate at least one threshold value based on the average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices. Controlling the state of consumption of the resource may be based on a comparison of the measured value to the at least one threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10370083
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of a wing fold system may include a latch assembly rotating an unfixed portion of a wing, with respect to a fixed portion of the wing, between a flight position of the wing and a folded position of the wing. A first portion of the wing may hold a rotating portion of the latch assembly. A second portion of the wing may hold a secured portion of the latch assembly. The rotating portion of the latch assembly may rotate between an open position and a closed position. A slot in the rotating portion may receive the secured portion of the latch assembly. A securing portion of the rotating portion may secure a secured portion of the latch assembly. The latch assembly may prevent rotation of the second portion when the wing may be in the flight position.
