  • Publication number: 20160042367
    Abstract: In certain examples, systems and methods here may use a combination of GPS location data provided by a user's device and the use of low-energy beacons in a shopping location which interact in real time with a user's device to enable the targeted interactions. User flow through a retail shopping location is collected and then mapped to provide interaction data used to present targeted unique interactions and experiences for each user.

  • Patent number: 7216332
    Abstract: A software development system is described in which lattice theory is used to model the compatibility and desirability in the target execution environment of various build option parameters selected by a user. A library selector is formed by combining the build option parameters of each source code entity to produce a selector having the maximum level of execution environment requirements needed among the group of source code entities being compiled. This library selector may be used to select a particular library of machine code entities compatible with these execution environment requirements whilst providing the most desirable machine code entities to exploit the capabilities of the target data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20030234162
    Abstract: A boost drive that decreases the belt tension at otherwise high-tension locations along the conveying path of a modular plastic conveyor belt. The boost drive includes first and second drive wheels arranged to rotate about parallel axes transverse to the direction of belt travel. The drive wheels engage the top and bottom sides of the belt near a side edge of the belt. A drive mechanism drives the wheels in tandem, which provide a drive force to the belt that supplements the primary drive force and decreases tension in the belt.
