  • Patent number: 11823793
    Abstract: At a service device (102), a user interface (106) is provided via which a user submits an order request (117) to order a requested part (X) via the at least one user input device (103). Co-replacement information (116) for the requested part (X) is identified using a co-replacements database (114), and is displayed on the display. For example, a second part (Y) commonly co-replaced with requested part (X) may be identified and recommended for replacement with part (X); or, if two parts (X) and (Y) are ordered then the co-replacement information may be to recommend ordering only one of these parts. At a server hosting the database (114), the order request is received from a service device and the co-replacement information (116) for the requested part is generated using the co-replacements database (114), and the co-replacement information is sent to the service device.

  • Patent number: 11683237
    Abstract: A wireless network comprises access points (APs) implementing roaming by way of handover of wireless devices between APs. Handover events over an analysis time interval are extracted from a wireless network log of the wireless network. Each handover event comprises a source AP from which a wireless device disconnects and a destination AP to which the wireless device connects. At least one handover frequency (HF) network topology graph is constructed fro the analysis time interval from the extracted handover events. The graph has nodes representing at least a subset of the APs of the extracted handover events and edges connecting pairs of nodes with each edge having a weight representing a count or frequency of handover events between the APs represented by the pair of nodes connected by the edge. A network diagnostic or visualization task is performed using the HF network topology graph.

  • Publication number: 20180137935
    Abstract: Systems and methods recommending edibles for consumption after considering a user's edible intake over a period of time. Each edible item, consumed or recommended, is associated with a set of parameters (or parameter ranges) that represent the various nutrients contained in that edible item (e.g., vitamins, minerals, calories, fat, etc.). The consumed items can be aggregated in various ways (simple averages, moving averages, weighted averages) to yield an overall indicator of the user's nutritional state and, given a goal nutritional state, edibles can be recommended for consumption that advance the user's nutritional state towards a goal nutritional state.

  • Patent number: 9135509
    Abstract: A video comprises at least one shot (SH), which is a continuous sequence of images representing a scene viewed from a particular location. Images are selected from a shot (SH) so as to obtain a continuous sequence of selected images (SI) that are evenly distributed throughout the shot. At least one continuous subsequence (SB1, SB2, SB3) of selected images that meet a predefined similarity test is identified. An image is selected from a continuous portion (SP) of the shot that coincides in time with the longest continuous subsequence (SB2) of selected images that meet the predefined similarity test. The image that is selected constitutes a representative image (RI) for the shot.

  • Patent number: 8225368
    Abstract: In a broadcast system (210) each broadcast content item is identified by a broadcast Content Reference Identifier (CRID). In a storage device (220) with a storage (240) each broadcast content item is identified by a local CRID. A processor (230) stores a CRID list that includes for CRIDs an associated validity interval including a starting date and an ending date during which interval the CRID is unique for the content item. When the processor receives (400) a broadcast CRID, it determines (410) an initial validity interval for the broadcast CRID. The initial validity interval includes a starting date and an ending date during which interval the broadcast CRID is unique for the broadcast content item. It then determines (420) whether the initial validity interval overlaps with a validity interval stored in the CRID list for an identical CRID. If there is no overlap it adds (430) the broadcast CRID to the CRID list.
