  • Patent number: 12236253
    Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems and apparatuses for using keyboard input to configure targeted prompts in association with graphical elements of a software application being developed and to access the targeted prompts during runtime execution of the software application. A user interface of a builder application can include a first region and a second region. The first region displays options for configuring targeted prompts. The second region is a canvas region that displays a second user interface generated through execution of the software application. Keyboard input can include a shortcut that updates the user interface to switch between the first region and the second region and/or a shortcut that sequentially navigates between graphical elements that can be associated with targeted prompts. Other keyboard shortcuts can be made available for use with the builder application and/or during runtime execution of the software application.

  • Patent number: 12229548
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include assessing factors that may affect the quality of software under development by a development team or that may be used to evaluate the health of software already deployed in a computing environment. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting, by a computing system, historical information about a plurality of prior development projects; correlating, by the computing system, the historical information with each of a plurality of developers that participated in one or more of the plurality of prior development projects; collecting, by the computing system, information about an application developed by a subset of the plurality of developers; generating, by the computing system and based on the information about the application and the correlated historical information, a predicted outcome for the application; and taking an action, by the computing system and based on the predicted outcome, to prevent the predicted outcome.

  • Patent number: 12179452
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for making bags or pouches is disclosed. It includes a track, at least two sleds that move on the track, and operating stations mounted on the sleds. The film moves along the track, and the sleds move with the film while performing operations on the film. The system can have the sleds stationary while operating for an intermittent machine, and move to reconfigure when the film is moving. The operating stations include one or more of a sealer, a heater, a cooler, an inserter, a knife, a punch, a perforator, a static charger, and a printer. The track forms a continuous path or is linear. A controller controls the sleds and operating stations. The controller includes an operating time and/or a reconfiguration module. The operating time module is responsive to a user set material thickness or a sensed material thickness.

  • Patent number: 11829927
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for interactive deliveries are provided. For an upcoming service point that is associated with a service point device, it is determined whether the item to be delivered to the service point is within an activation zone for activating the service point device. Responsive to determining that the item is within the activation zone, the service point device is remotely activated. Remotely activating the service point device triggers dynamical provision of an alert interface. An indication of user interaction via the user interface indicating availability of the user to receive the item is received. A notification of the indication of the user interaction is provided. If the notification indicates that the individual is available to receive the item at the service point, the item is delivered to or picked-up from the service point.

  • Publication number: 20220347961
    Abstract: In certain examples, a machine that forms a web into bags or pouches includes a sealing section through which the web is conveyed in a machine direction. The sealing section is configured to form a lap seal in the web and has an input end configured to receive the web which has a first web section and a second web section. An ultrasonic sealer with a horn and an anvil defines a nip therebetween through which the first web section passes. The ultrasonic sealer is configured to form the lap seal in the first web section. The anvil is positioned between the first web section and the second web section. An output end is configured to dispense the web with the lap seal formed therein.

  • Publication number: 20220263809
    Abstract: A method and system for transmission of digital content via e-mail with point of use digital rights management is disclosed. The secured access rights to the digital content may be customized for individual recipients by the sender, and may evolve over time. The access rights are enforced according to a time-dependent scheme. A key server is used to arbitrate session keys for the encrypted content, eliminating the requirement to exchange public keys prior to transmission of the digital content. During the entire process of transmitting and receiving e-mail messages and documents, the exchange of cryptographic keys remains totally transparent to the users of the system. Additionally, electronic documents may be digitally signed with authentication of the signature.
