Abstract: Embodiments are directed to generating service offerings based on associated content and historical data. Content from a content panel may be provided. Subjects associated with the content may be determined based on information included in the content. A service category associated with the subjects may be determined based on services provided by a healthcare organization. An offering model may be employed to generate an offering panel based on the service category.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a glazing for electric heating, comprising a first glass sheet, a first masking layer around the periphery of the first glass sheet, an aperture in the first masking layer for a sensor, a second glass sheet bonded to the first glass sheet by a ply of interlayer material, a carrier film positioned between the ply of interlayer material and the first glass sheet, an electric heating element on the carrier film, and a second masking layer on the carrier film. The second masking layer positioned on a carrier film causes less stress in the glass sheets during moulding and thus less optical distortion. The invention also concerns a method of manufacturing the glazing and use of the glazing for example as a window for a vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the time of delivery of an order is performed by a service system. The system receives the order from a customer device, and maps the customer telephone number to a routing telephone number. The system then sends the order with the routing telephone number to a provider, such as a restaurant. The provider prepares the order. A deliveryman calls the routing telephone number when he delivers the order to the customer. The system sets the reception time of the call as the time of delivery of the order. The system then forwards the call to the customer.

Abstract: A disclosed method includes assigning a unique identifier to a computer product instance, such as a server, switch, router, or storage device, to be deployed at a data center or other location on behalf of a customer, generating security credentials for the computer product dependent on the identifier, obtaining the credentials by a customer-side automated deployment agent, and using them by the deployment agent during deployment of the computer product. The credentials may be generated by a supplier-side credential management system, then requested and received by the deployment agent over a secure communication channel. The credentials may be generated by a program shared between the supplier-side credential management system and the deployment agent. The identifier may identify a hardware or software component or be selected by the supplier or customer.

Abstract: A container having a battery and one or more active systems for maintaining temperature or other characteristics of goods stored within the container relies on a battery to maintain those active systems during transit. The size of the battery required for such applications may be reduced by providing access to external power during a shipment cycle. For example, shelves within transit vehicles or warehouses can supply electricity to the active systems via a wireless or wired connection, or they may recharge the container's battery, or both. The container may also have data bridging capabilities that use short range wireless technology to communicate with nearby devices that have access to other data streams, such as GPS data and internet connectivity. When bridged with a provider, the container may have access to new data streams, or may be able to disable internal devices providing those same data streams to conserve power.
