Abstract: An example method for visual testing and issue communication of programmed display of content includes obtaining a workflow of test scenarios for visual testing a display. The content displayed on the display is controlled by a set-top box (STB) device executing target instructions. The example method further includes identifying a visual testing issue associated with executing the test scenarios, and communicating the workflow and issue to a remote device for reproduction of the issue.

Abstract: A refrigeration system having a primary receiver, a secondary receiver, a first gas bypass valve, and second gas bypass valve, a feed control valve, and a controller. The primary receiver has a primary receiver operating pressure and is configured to collect a refrigerant circulated by the refrigeration system. The secondary receiver includes a liquid refrigerant inlet fluidly coupled to a primary receiver liquid refrigerant outlet. The feed control valve is coupled between the primary receiver liquid outlet and the secondary receiver liquid refrigerant inlet. The controller operates the feed control valve to control a flow of a liquid refrigerant from the primary receiver to the secondary receiver.

Abstract: Example embodiments described herein are directed to systems and methods related to moving a package in a delivery vehicle in a timely manner prior to the vehicle reaching a destination for the package. In an example embodiment, a computer identifies a target spot located ahead of the delivery destination. The computer then conveys an instruction to an automated package moving apparatus in the vehicle to initiate a movement of the package from a first location in a cargo area of the vehicle to a second location in the cargo area before or at a time of arrival of the vehicle at the target spot on the delivery route. The process of identifying the target spot on the delivery route can involve determining an amount of time to be allocated for the automated package moving apparatus to move the first package from the first location to the second location in the cargo area.

Abstract: Secure, controlled, interactive virtual visitation for confinement institution inmates is provided using computing devices connected through a network by managing the scheduling of visitation sessions and use of shared visitation session resources, ensuring the identities of the inmate and the person with whom the inmate is to interact in the virtual visitation session, and by monitoring the interactions and communications during the virtual visitation sessions to detect prohibited activities. Another embodiment of the invention uses a virtual desktop shared from a remote server to ensure that an inmate does not have access to prohibited applications or content during a virtual visitation session.

Abstract: Some implementations provide input-triggered user verification. This may involve trigging a user verification (e.g., capture of an image, sound, fingerprint, etc.) to verify a user's identity based on input (e.g., typing) received ad the device. Triggering the user-verification based on receiving input may help ensure that the image, sound, fingerprint, etc. is captured at a time when the user is close to the device, touching the finger-print sensor, and/or in view of the camera during the capturing. Some implementations provide user verification based on a user-identification of a previously selected image. This may involve using an inmate-selected picture or other image to recover a forgotten alphanumeric reference. Some implementations of the invention disclosed herein provide user verification based on a computer-vision identification of a wearable identification tag. This may involve using an image of the user's identification tag worn on the user's wrist to verify the user's identity.
