Patent number: 12093158Abstract: Track transformations of mature digital twins from time of creation to decommissioning of the physical asset. As physical assets evolve, changes, repairs, maintenance and services relevant to the physical assets originally provided, can be applied or deemed inapplicable in the current state. Mature digital twins are leveraged to identify proposed changes to physical assets and compare original digital twins of the base asset to determine whether deviations over time render the proposed changes irrelevant. Irrelevant changes, due to deviations from the original digital twin, are further analyzed to determine whether the irrelevancy is due to a previous action performed on the physical asset and update to the mature digital twin. Previous updates to physical assets, reflected in the mature digital twin, can be eligible for rebates and incentives where the asset owners performed actions that render proposed updates irrelevant, while relevant changes are approved and permeated to mature digital twins.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Joseph G. Berti

Patent number: 11960797Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for managing retractable privacy partitions to dynamically subdivide spaces in buildings into sub-spaces (or rooms). Retractable privacy partitions are distributed throughout a given space in a building such that the retractable privacy partitions can completely retract into a surface of the given space (for example, the floor or ceiling) such that when they are fully extended, the retractable privacy partitions create separate rooms within the given space, and when fully retracted, the retractable privacy partitions do not significantly impede movement or sightlines throughout the given space. Further disclosed are techniques to manage the retractable privacy partitions based on properties indicative of demand for rooms of various sizes within the given space. Some embodiments further disclose retractable privacy partitions including switchable glass to provide additional flexibility through dynamic opacity along with dynamic extension/retraction of the partitions.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Xinlin Wang, Lisa Seacat DeLuca

Patent number: 11900430Abstract: A buy-online pickup-in-store (BOPIS) order at risk of abandonment is saved by converting the order to same-day delivery. A risk deadline is established using a combination of cognitive prediction, a customer-specific time frame, order constraints, and real-time data. The cognitive prediction uses a customer profile having historical data pertaining to previous BOPIS orders from this customer. If the product is not picked up by the risk deadline, a check is made to see if same-day delivery is feasible. If so, a notification is transmitted to the customer with proposed delivery details. The notification can be sent at an optimal time based on previous notifications sent to the customer and time constraints related to the order, and using an optimal communication channel based on previous engagement rates with the customer over different communication channels. Once confirmation is received from the customer, the product is shipped, saving the sale.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Borja Canseco, John Kaufmann, Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Andrea Young
