  • Publication number: 20220414600
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems and methods built in accordance with the present disclosure may analyze audience engagement with a presentation displayed during a live meeting and may provide feedback to a presenter during and/or after the presentation. In some embodiments, the provided feedback may include determining one or more metrics indicative of participant engagement levels. Participant engagement levels may then be used to adjust live meetings in real-time and/or after the live meeting has ended. A system may include one or more presenter computing devices, one or more participant computing devices and a server system including a data analytics module configured to determine metrics indicative of participant engagement levels.

  • Publication number: 20220389294
    Abstract: Bonding dissimilar materials of medical device components can be carried out by applying an adhesive on at least one surface of two components which are composed of dissimilar materials and contacting the surfaces and exposing the contacted surfaces to heat and/or irradiate the adhesive to cure the adhesive and bond the surfaces. One medical component, e.g., medical tubing, can be composed of a non-polar, polyvinyl chloride free thermoplastic polymeric material and the other medical component, e.g., a medical connector, can be composed of polyacrylate, polyacrylonitrile, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (mABS), polyester, and/or a polycarbonate material. The adhesive formulation can include: (a) a polyolefin oligomer having reactive acrylate groups and alkenyl groups, (b) an initiator, and optionally (c) a solvent.

  • Patent number: 11514237
    Abstract: A computer software program for improving electronic spreadsheets to manage and control scenarios. The program provides methods for the user to record specific changes made to selected value of cells in the spreadsheet. Each recorded item can be dragged and re-ordered via a graphical user interface (GUI) to build up a scenario script. The script can be executed whereby the spreadsheet is updated with the recorded items. The method allows complex scenarios to be played back in step by incremental step, modified, re-ordered, corrected, and re-played while generating user-defined output reports & charts detailing each step change. The method provides a detailed information trail of all value changes made to the spreadsheet suitable for an independent third-party review. Different scenario components can be recorded in parallel by multiple users and then merged to produce a complete solution.

  • Patent number: 11434136
    Abstract: Diamond bodies and methods of manufacture are disclosed. Diamond bodies are formed from at least a bimodal, alternatively a tri-modal or higher modal, feedstock having at least one fraction of modified diamond particles with a fine particle size (0.5-3.0 ?m) and at least one fraction of diamond particles with coarse particle size (15.0 to 30 ?m). During high pressure-high temperature processing, fine particle sized, modified diamond particles in the first fraction preferentially fracture to smaller sizes while preserving the morphology of coarse particle sized diamond particles in the second fraction. Diamond bodies incorporating the two fractions have a microstructure including second fraction diamond particles dispersed in a continuous matrix of first fraction modified diamond particles and exhibit improved wear characteristics, particularly for wear associated with drilling of geological formations.

  • Publication number: 20220271940
    Abstract: A mobile communications device is provided with a tagging module that tags outgoing communications. Upon receiving the tagged communication, a communications provider requests from a registered owner service identified in the tag whether the mobile communications device identified in the tag is registered with the registered owner service. Upon receiving confirmation from the registered owner service that the mobile communications device is registered with the service, the communications provider provides information regarding the location of the mobile communications device to the registered owner service.

  • Publication number: 20220261883
    Abstract: Managing an online auction includes maintaining an automatically-decreasing, downward-going purchase price at which prospective buyers of a lot offered for sale can submit an immediate offer, and, concurrent with this, maintaining an upward-going contingent purchase price at which an offer to purchase the lot is to be automatically triggered, contingent on the downward-going purchase price decreasing to the upward-going contingent purchase price. Contingent bid(s) are received and work to increase the upward-going contingent purchase price. Server processing can then be performed based on submission of an immediately-effective offer to purchase the lot at the downward-going purchase price or automatic triggering of an offer to purchase the lot at the upward-going contingent purchase price. Related graphical user interfaces/online auction web interfaces, and presentation thereof, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11251962
    Abstract: A security code module is provided that a developer may include in an application. The application, when downloaded onto a mobile communications device, includes the security code module. The security code module then initiates a request to a server to determine the status of the mobile communications device. When the status indicates that the mobile communications device is not in the possession of the registered owner, a security component on the server performs an action in response.

  • Patent number: 11138277
    Abstract: An adaptive link is generated for delivering a device platform-specific and personalized digital pass. When the adaptive link is activated by an end user, a network request is sent from an end-user device to a digital pass management system. The network request may include header information that identifies the device platform of the end-user device. The digital pass management system extracts query string parameters included in the adaptive link. Based on the parameters, a personalized data set in a specific data format such as JSON is generated. A template that is compatible to the device platform is selected. A digital pass that is compatible with the device platform is generated and delivered based on the requirements of the end-user device. In some cases, the adaptive link may include location information such as latitude and longitude coordinates. The digital pass generated may also be location specific.

  • Publication number: 20210240848
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing personal data on a client computer in which personal data stored at one or more locations on the client computer is identified by a policy management module on the computer or a server. A policy is then created based on the identified personal data. The policy management module monitors at least the personal data stored in the one or more locations and detects attempts to access the monitored data and determines whether the attempts are in violation of the policy.
