  • Patent number: 12723886
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to selective visual display systems, improved user interfaces for capturing guidance input for vehicle routing optimization, and to devices, systems and methods for improved integration of guidance input into a map interface and automated vehicle routing optimization computational system. Systems and methods integrate user-drawn freeform guidance on a map interface into vehicle routing optimization. A map interface receives a freeform shape, which is represented as an ordered polyline and translated into spatial constraints via shape-adherence measures and optionally a buffered corridor. A solver generates routes that minimize travel cost and penalties for deviation from the guidance, treating the guidance as soft constraints with tunable weights. Adjustments to the shape trigger real-time recomputation, optionally with warm starts. Historical user inputs and accepted routes inform adaptive weighting and suggested guidance for future tasks.

  • Publication number: 20250017821
    Abstract: A fitment for forming a bag is provided with an internal spike port aperture, configured to receive a spike. The fitment further includes one or more features to prevent the spike from contacting the bag when the spike is received in the spike port. A bag can be formed by attaching one or more sheets to the fitment. The bag can be interfaced with by inserting the spike through an optional first puncture barrier, into the internal spike port aperture, and through a second puncture barrier disposed in the internal spike port aperture. The internal spike port aperture can be provided on a surface of the fitment such that it does not extend beyond an outer end of the fitment.
