Publication number: 20230186332Abstract: A customer order prediction system can include a computing device configured to obtain customer order data characterizing a customer’s interaction with an electronic marketplace and to obtain environmental data characterizing at least one event expected to effect the customer’s ordering behavior. The computing device can be further configured to generate feature data based on the customer data and the environmental data wherein the feature data organizes the customer data and the environmental data based on characteristics of an order size estimation model. The computing device is also configured to determine a predicted customer order size using the order size estimation model and to adjust a delivery availability of the electronic marketplace based on the predicted order size.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2020Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Abhijeet Rajendra Phatak, Chittaranjan Tripathy, Aaron Martin John Sharpe, Christopher Grierson, Karan Khurana, Chandrasekar Ramalingam, Ioannis Pavlidis, Rishabh Mudgal

Publication number: 20230133602Abstract: An approach generates a speed profile for one or more delivery locations. The speed profile corresponds to location data of a delivery order for a respective delivery location, and indicates a plurality of events associated with a movement of a delivery order to the respective delivery location. The approach generates, based on the speed profile and location data corresponding to the delivery order, feature data of the respective delivery location. The approach applies a machine learning model to the generated feature data to output a door-step time prediction for the respective delivery location. The door-step time prediction is based on a time difference between timestamps of two events of the plurality of events associated with the movement of the delivery order. The approach generates a planned delivery route for the one or more delivery locations, based on the one or more delivery locations and respective the door-step time predictions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2020Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Abhijeet Rajendra Phatak, Chittaranjan Tripathy, Nitishkumar Gopu, Srujan Sai Varma Alluri, Aaron Martin John Sharpe, Christopher Grierson, Karan Khurana, Chandrasekar Ramalingam, Ioannis Pavlidis

Patent number: 7569137Abstract: Processes and apparatus for the treatment of product streams from mineral processing operations, including the treatment of tailings which result from oil sand processing operations. The processes and apparatus relate to the recovery of a diluent solvent from bitumen froth tailings and to the thickening of tailings from a bitumen froth stream and a middlings stream resulting from an oil sand extraction process. In one aspect the processes and apparatus relate particularly to the recycling of product streams to maximize process efficiencies. In a second aspect the processes and apparatus relate particularly to the thickening of tailings to produce an underflow component, a clarified overflow component and an unclarified overflow component.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Fort Hills Energy L.P.Inventors: Alexander William Hyndman, John Patrick Ringstrom, John Sharpe, Douglas Robert Bartlett, W. Scott Hindle, Chris L. Grant

Patent number: 7121419Abstract: The combination of a closure (110) and an in-bore fitment (201) is provided for a container. The closure (110) comprises a generally plain crown (120) with a tubular skirt (130) depending from its periphery. The tubular skirt (130) has a first weakened zone (140) defining a first tamperevident portion (150); the first weakened zone (140) is adapted to break on first opening of the container. The tubular skirt (150) has a second weakened zone (190) defining a second tamperevident portion (150). The second weakened zone (190) is protected from breakage on first opening of the container but is arranged to break if an attempt is made to remove the in-bore fitment (201) from the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Crown Obrist GmbHInventors: Andrew Ferry, James McLennan, David Senior, John Sharpe

Publication number: 20060024905Abstract: An on-chip capacitive device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a MOS capacitor formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a metal interconnect capacitor formed at least in part in a region above the MOS capacitor. The MOS capacitor and the metal interconnect capacitor are connected in parallel to form a single capacitive device. The capacitance densities of the MOS capacitor and the metal interconnect capacitor are, thereby, combined. Advantageously, significant capacitance density gains can be achieved without additional processing steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2004Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: Canzhong He, John Schuler, John Sharpe, Hong-Ha Vuong
