Abstract: A product monitoring system including: one or more Near Field Communication (NFC) readers associated with a storage device; and a control system including a processor, a memory, and a communication interface, the control system being in communication with the one or more NFC readers, wherein the memory has stored therein executable instructions, wherein the processor is configured, without human intervention and via execution of the executable instructions, to: control the one or more NFC readers to read one or more NFC labels associated with one or more products stored by the storage device; receive, from the one or more NFC readers, product identification data identifying the one or more products stored by the storage device; compare the product identification data to inventory data, stored in the memory, to determine at least one product which has been removed from the storage device, wherein the inventory data is indicative of a most recently determined inventory of the storage device; and transfer, via t

Abstract: Disclosed herein is new software technology for creating and managing a lookahead schedule for a construction project. In one aspect, disclosed herein is a method that involves (1) receiving, from a client station, a request to create an initial lookahead schedule for a project, where the request comprises timeline information for the initial lookahead schedule, (2) after receiving the request, creating the initial lookahead schedule based on the timeline information and a previously-created master schedule for the project, and (3) causing the client station to present a user-interface view that provides a representation of the initial lookahead schedule.

Abstract: Search model updates are described. In one or more implementations, a search service uses a model to rank items in a search result, the model formed using an initial set of data. An update is generated using a subsequent set of data, which is formed after the initial set of data, that provides feedback describing user interaction with one or more items in the search result formed using the model, the generating of the update performed without use of at least a portion of the initial set of data. The model and the update are employed to rank items in a search result for a subsequent search.

Abstract: A method of constructing a data transformation block includes selecting a first discrete logic visual icon and a second discrete logic visual icon from a logic repository. A combination valid state is established when the first discrete logic visual icon can be combined with the second discrete logic visual icon. The first discrete logic visual icon and the second discrete logic visual icon are combined in response to the combination valid state to form a data transformation block. The data transformation block has a corresponding functional language source code description of the logical operations to be performed by the data transformation block. The data transformation block processes data to form transformed data. The data transformation block may be stored in the logic repository so that others can access it.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores executable instructions to deterministically construct a text question for application to a data source. The executable instructions include executable instructions supply a user with an initial text question. The user is allowed to alter a sentence component of the initial text question to form an altered sentence component. It is identified when the altered sentence component in combination with remaining sentence components creates a grammatically incorrect question. A grammatically correct text question including the altered sentence component is supplied in response to the executable instructions to identify. A data source query is constructed from the grammatically correct text question. The data source query is applied to a data source to produce data results. The data results are presented to the user.

Abstract: A method of deterministically constructing a text question for application to a data source includes supplying a user with an initial text question. The user is allowed to alter a sentence component of the text question to form an altered sentence component. When the altered sentence component in combination with remaining sentence components creates an invalid question, sentence components are supplied to insure the selection of a valid question. A data source query is constructed from the initial text question and at least one altered sentence component. The data source query is applied to a data source to produce data results. The data results are presented to the user.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing executable instructions to deterministically construct a text question for application to a data source includes executable instructions to allow a user to specify a second language different than a first language used as organizational schema of a data source. Language rules are loaded for the second language. The language rules are used to translate an initial text question from the first language to the second language. A user is supplied with the initial text question in the second language. The user is allowed to alter a sentence component of the text question to form an altered sentence component. Executable instructions identify when the altered sentence component in combination with remaining sentence components creates an invalid question and supplies sentence components to insure selection of a valid question. A data source query is constructed from the initial text question and at least one altered sentence component.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing executable instructions to define a data modeling system include executable instructions to specify named modular semantic transformation objects that contain a function, a type and metadata. Executable instructions are used to combine modular semantic transformation objects, as permitted based on type and metadata constraints, in order to create composite functionality represented by a composite modular semantic transformation object.

Abstract: A head covering includes a tube of elastic fabric having an upper open circumferential edge and a lower open circumferential edge. A visor made of an elastic deformable material has a curved inner edge, the curved inner edge having a pair of opposite ends. The visor is attached to and extends partly around the lower open circumferential edge of the tube.

Abstract: A sport cap has a visor made of thick-walled neoprene foam rubber. The pattern of the visor is approximately crescent-shaped and has an arched inner edge, which is sewn in a stretched form to the elastic headband. In a use position, the visor has a middle convex curvature section and two lateral adjacent concave curvature sections, whereby there is a uniform transition between each of the curvature sections. Due to this multiple curvature of the visor, the visor has a form stability when in use but is at the same time soft and pliable. The cap with visor can be transported while crushed together in any form desired. The visor will always return to its original form once the cap is placed on the head.

Abstract: A sport cap (10) has a visor (16) made of thick-walled neoprene foam rubber. The pattern of the visor (16) is approximately crescent-shaped and has an arched inner edge (24), which is sewed to the head-band (14) in straight stretched form. When in a used position the visor (16) has a middle convex curvature section (32) and two lateral adjacent concave curvature sections (34), whereby there is a uniform transition between each of the curvature sections. Due to this multiple curvature of the visor (16), the visor has a form stability when in use but is at the same time soft and pliable. The cap (10) with visor (16) can be transported while crushed together in any form desired. The visor (16) will always return to its original form once the cap is placed on the head.
