Abstract: The present technology is directed to a notification manager which provides a consolidated notification assistant interface for managing notifications received across a plurality of sources, such as applications and channels. The notification manager can group similar notifications in the consolidated notification assistant interface. The notification manager can automatically respond to some notifications, and provide a status regarding whether a responsive notification has been sent, or whether a responsive notification has been prepared that needs review, etc. For example, the notification manager can propose responsive notifications to some notifications, and provide a call to action for the user account to review the proposed responsive notification and to send the proposed responsive notification. The user associated with the user account can interact with the notification manager by giving natural language instructions by interacting with a chatbot to instruct the notification manager to take actions.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a target for physical vapor deposition processes.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for generating supply recommendations. The method includes identifying, by a supply recommendation engine, a recommendation generation event associated with a part; in response to identifying the recommendation generation event: obtaining part information associated with the recommendation generation event; obtaining a first constraint configuration; and generating a first recommendation based on the first constraint configuration and the part information; obtaining a second constraint configuration; in response to obtaining the second constraint configuration; generating a second recommendation based on the second constraint configuration and the part information; and performing supply actions based on the first optimization recommendations and the second optimization recommendations.

Abstract: A system for providing temporary, transportable cellular communications networks is disclosed. The system includes at least one mobile base station and a control system. The mobile base station can include an aerial vehicular base station with a frame and propellers mounted on the frame that enable flight of the aerial vehicular base station while the control system is configured to control the flight path and functioning of the aerial vehicular base station. The aerial vehicular base station includes hardware and software components for providing cellular network coverage for short ranges. The control system determines the safe flight path for the aerial vehicular base station to reach a service location to provide cellular network coverage. The aerial vehicular base station identifies the closest base stations and available spectrum at the service location to provide communication services for the user equipment at the service location.

Abstract: A housing for an electric machine has a hollow-cylindrical housing casing and a circular bearing plate composed of a first material which is arranged at one axial end of the housing casing. A reinforcing element composed of a second material is embedded in the bearing plate. In addition, an electric machine having such a housing, a vehicle having such an electric machine and a method for producing the housing are described.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a facility (e.g., home) control system using a community of components (e.g., comprising one or more sensors, emitters and/or transceivers) that are configured to locate at least a portion of its members and control one or more devices of the facility.

Abstract: An impact wrench is provided with a battery to power the motor. The impact wrench provides improved portability since the impact wrench does not need to be connected to an electrical extension cord or a pneumatic hose. The output drive, motor, batteries and main handle may be aligned along the axial direction of the tool. The batteries may be located between the motor and the main handle.

Abstract: Target assemblies for PVD chambers are provided herein. In some embodiments, a target assembly for a PVD chamber includes: a backing plate; and a target coupled to the backing plate and having a substrate facing surface opposite the backing plate, wherein a peripheral portion of the target includes an angled surface extending radially outward and toward the backing plate, wherein an annular portion of the angled surface has a surface roughness greater than a surface roughness of a remainder of the substrate facing surface of the target.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a framework that allows for novel user interactions with dynamic messages using common reusable components and further allows for authentication of the user to the sender of the message. According to an embodiment, the framework functions by providing a message including a common reusable component with a corresponding content. The common reusable component allows the user to interact with the content. In some embodiments, in response to an interaction of the user with the common reusable component, a request is generated to the sender of the message to provide additional content or to perform an action. In some embodiments, the request includes an access token, a third-party token, or both. In some embodiments, the third-party token is created based on a credential of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes one or more communities of components (e.g., comprising one or more sensors and/or transceivers) that are configured to automatically locate and/or self-locate their members. The community of components includes a plurality of stationary components, and may include at least one transitory component.

Abstract: A system may monitor transaction data pertaining to a plurality of transaction types received by a network order fulfillment system. The system may classify the transaction data into a plurality of alarm types based on pre-defined impact of an alarm type to a given transaction type. The system may analyze a plurality of performance parameters influencing a performance of the network order fulfillment system, and identify a performance parameter exhibiting an anomaly based on historical data, a current status of the plurality of the performance parameters and a predefined prediction model. The system may ascertain whether the identified performance parameter negatively impacts the performance of the network order fulfillment system, based on evaluation rules. The system may proactively implement a remediation action to remediate a potential fault caused by the identified performance parameter when the identified performance parameter negatively impacts the performance of the network order fulfillment system.
