Abstract: Automated delivery coordination and meeting scheduling for an order including a plurality of recipients includes identifying, by a computer, an online business transaction performed by a user. The online business transaction including the order being placed by the user for the plurality of recipients. The computer determines whether the order is associated with an event that includes the plurality of recipients and, in response to the order being associated with the event, collects information corresponding to the event. The computer uses the collected information to generate a first recommendation during checkout including a synchronized delivery option for the plurality of recipients. Further, using the collected information, the computer generates a second recommendation during the checkout including a synchronized meeting scheduling option for the plurality of recipients.

Abstract: According to various aspects, a method of generating a collision free path of travel may include defining a global search area encompassing at least a global start position and a global target position; and determining a set of collision free trajectories by iteration, the set of collision free trajectories connecting the global start position to the global target position via one or more local target positions, each iteration including: determining a local search area within the global search area; determining, from the global obstacle map, a local obstacle map associated with the local search area; defining a local start position and one or more local target positions within the local search area; and calculating, in the local search area, a collision free trajectory from the local start position to the one or more local target positions considering the local obstacle map.

Abstract: A filter device has a filter housing and a clamping bracket engaging around the filter housing. The clamping bracket includes a bracket and a clamping collar that are swivelably coupled by a hinge, the bracket and the clamping collar being positively connected adjacent to the hinge through the engagement of a projection into an engagement window.
