Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with arrangements described herein can include identifying a variety of accounts associated with a user and determining a set of actions that can be taken with respect to the accounts. For instance, upon death of a user, a predetermined set of actions can be executed to transfer one or more assets as defined in a digital will. The accounts can be identified by scanning one or more accounts associated with the user. The accounts associated with the user and/or the account actions for the accounts can be automatically maintained over time. On an account transfer event, each of the accounts can be automatically transferred and/or closed in accordance with the determined account actions. In many embodiments, a password manager is maintained to facilitate the review of accounts and the performance of the appropriate actions on the occurrence of a transfer event.

Abstract: Fibrous structures that exhibit a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.75 and/or less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method described herein and a Geometric Mean Modulus (GM Modulus) of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm and/or a Machine Direction Modulus (MD Modulus) of less than 1253.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm and/or a Cross Machine Direction Modulus (CD Modulus) of less than 1569.2 g/cm at 15 g/cm, are provided.

Abstract: An electronic content generation and distribution method and system generates and distributes audio content from time-sensitive written content having a defined time sensitivity. The method and system includes accessing a narrator data database having narrator data therein and selecting a narrator using the narrator data from the narrator data database for generating an audio narration of the time-sensitive written content. The narrator is different from the author of the written content and narrator selection is based on-educational familiarity of the narrator with a subject matter of the time-sensitive written content based on a comparison of the subject matter of the time-sensitive written content and availability of the narrator based on the time sensitivity of the time-sensitive written content. The method and system includes distributing the written content to the selected narrator and within a defined time period, receiving an audio narration generated by the selected narrator.

Abstract: Methods and system for guiding user data capture during a scan of a vehicle using a mobile device are disclosed. A user may scan a vehicle using a camera or other sensors of the mobile device to capture data from which a three-dimensional virtual model may be generated. During the scanning process, models may be generated and evaluated according to quality metrics. Visual cues may be determined and presented to the user during scanning to indicate areas sufficiently scanned or areas requiring additional scanning to meet data quality requirements for model generation. Damage to vehicle components may be identified by analysis of the generated model, and addition data capture or user annotation entry may be directed based upon the identified damage.

Abstract: The aspects disclosed herein are directed to systems, methods, implementations, and devices for determining if optical fire detector location, orientation, and quantity is sufficient to view a target fraction of all fire scenarios, as determined by risk analysis (e.g., 90%, using an approach that considers the actual dimensions of the visible fire). Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer may review a real-world implementation, or collection of fire detectors including their locations and orientations as determined by heuristics, such as placing fire detectors near potential leak locations, and determine if the proposed layout is capable of detecting the target coverage, or fraction of fire scenarios that are possible in a given situation.
