Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for providing users with electronic retrieval capabilities that are activated upon the users' determined locations respective to real-world locations associated with a message providing entity. The disclosed technology combines the previously separate systems of mail extraction, geo-fencing and content delivery (e.g., notification) into a single system that efficiently manages a user's inbox in order to provide the user with content the user has expressly indicated is of interest to that user.

Abstract: A user can share (show) multimedia information while simultaneously communicating (telling) with one or more other users over a network. Multimedia information is received from at least one source. The multimedia information may be manually and/or automatically annotated and shared with other users. The multimedia information may be displayed in an integrated live view simultaneously with other modes of communication, such as video, voice, or text. A simultaneous sharing communication interface provides an immersive experience that lets a user communicate via text, voice, video, sounds, music, or the like, with one or more other users while also simultaneously sharing media such as photos, videos, movies, images, graphics, illustrations, animations, presentations, narratives, music, sounds, applications, files, and the like. The simultaneous sharing interface enables a user to experience a higher level of intimacy in their communication with others over a network.

Abstract: A light-emitting system (1000) removably attachable to headgear is provided, which comprises: a form factor (1010) configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system (1000) is removably attached to the headgear for use; a plurality of halo lighting elements (1100) configured to selectively generate at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the light-emitting system; and at least one task lighting element (1120) aligned in a direction along a task light axis (1130) that is fixed and oriented downwardly at an oblique angle (?) relative to a transverse plane (TP) of the light-emitting system (1000), the at least one task lighting element (1120) being configured to selectively generate flood task lighting in an area in front of a user.

Abstract: A strapping tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tool includes a motive power source and a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly includes a first punch and a die, the first punch and die configured to crimp or cut a notch in a strapping seal member and/or a piece of strapping so as to secure the piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to analyzing data systems to detect data deficiencies and generating user interfaces for performing user communication sessions to resolve the data deficiencies. A data system may include components and implement operations to analyze a related set of data to determine when to initiate a communication session with a user to resolve a data deficiency. The data system also may be configured to generate user interfaces customized based on particular users and/or particular associates to allow the associate to interact with the user to resolve the data deficiency. The data system also may determine when to record the communication session, store and/or transcribe the communication session, and/or associate the stored communication session records with the corresponding data in the data system.

Abstract: An externally-powered strapping tool includes a strapping tool assembly configured to perform one or more strapping operations; and an external power source operatively coupled thereto, the external power source being attached to the strapping tool assembly in a substantially immovable manner. According to another aspect, a strapping tool assembly includes one or more strapping tool subassemblies configured to perform one or more strapping operations; a power transfer subassembly operatively coupled to the one or more strapping tool subassemblies, the power transfer subassembly configured to transfer motive power from the external power source to the one or more strapping tool subassemblies; and a coupling member configured to couple the strapping tool assembly to the external power source.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly includes a frame subassembly having a cargo bed access opening disposed between a driver side section and a passenger side section, and a door subassembly that is pivotably coupled to the frame subassembly and is pivotable relative to the frame subassembly back-and-forth between a door open position and a door closed position. The door subassembly closes the cargo bed access opening when the door subassembly is in the door closed position. The assembly further includes a tube of the frame subassembly. The tube extends along an inboard side of the driver side section, along an inboard side of the passenger side section, and along a bottom of the cargo bed access opening.

Abstract: An orthopedic instrument, comprising a pair of pivotally-connected arms, extending beyond a pivot axis of a first pivot; a pair of feet mounted to ends of the pair of pivotally-connected arms; and a quadrilateral linkage configured to maintain parallelism between the pair of feet over a range of angles and to selectively alter a distance between the pair of feet.

Abstract: A light-emitting system (1000) removably attachable to headgear is provided, which comprises: a form factor (1010) configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system (1000) is removably attached to the headgear for use; a plurality of halo lighting elements (1100) configured to selectively generate at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the light-emitting system; and at least one task lighting element (1120) aligned in a direction along a task light axis (1130) that is fixed and oriented downwardly at an oblique angle (?) relative to a transverse plane (TP) of the light-emitting system (1000), the at least one task lighting element (1120) being configured to selectively generate flood task lighting in an area in front of a user.

Abstract: Vehicle systems for accessing and utilizing vehicle cargo spaces on vehicles equipped with a tailgate assembly having a door subassembly may include deployable step systems, deployable lift panel systems, deployable cargo extender systems, etc. The vehicle systems may be either separate from or integrated with the door subassembly of the tailgate assembly. An exemplary vehicle system may include a deployable step that is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position in order to present a step surface to a user for accessing the vehicle cargo space.

Abstract: A machine learning system that includes three machine learning models implemented in a hardware processor, a first-level feature creation module, and a combination module provides an output based on one or more channel inputs. Each of the three machine learning models receives the channel inputs and additional feature inputs based on the channel inputs to produce the output. The first-level feature creation module is implemented in hardware and receives the channel inputs, performs a feature creation operation, creates the additional feature inputs, and provides the additional feature inputs to at least one of the machine learning models. The first-level feature creation operation performs a calculation on one or more aspects of the channel inputs, and the combination module receives the one or more machine learning model outputs and produce a machine learning channel output.
