  • Patent number: 11394927
    Abstract: System that allows devices of an autonomous store, such as sensors in product display areas, to receive power and communicate data over conductive rails of store fixtures. By using fixtures to transmit data and power, the need for cabling to these devices, or for batteries to power the devices, is eliminated or greatly reduced, thereby dramatically simplifying installation and maintenance. Illustrative fixtures over which devices can communicate include slatwalls, pegboards, and rectangular support bars. Power and data may be multiplexed onto the same pair of conductive rails. Embodiments may use device hubs to coordinate communication with devices and to act as gateways between devices and centralized store servers. Devices may communicate their identities and locations to store servers to facilitate installation; for example, they may display their identities on electronic labels that are imaged by store cameras, so that the store server can learn the location of each device automatically.

  • Patent number: 11226799
    Abstract: An embodiment includes requesting, by a compiler responsive to execution of a first code segment, a first profile dataset associated with the first code segment. The embodiment also includes executing, responsive to receiving an indication that the first profile dataset is not available, a querying process that searches other code segments based on specified criteria relating to an attribute of the first code segment. The embodiment also includes receiving a search result from the querying process, where the search result includes a second code segment. The embodiment also includes generating an extrapolated profile dataset based at least in part on the second code segment. The embodiment stores the extrapolated profile dataset in memory associated with the first code segment, and the compiler performs an optimization process on the first code segment using the extrapolated profile dataset.

  • Publication number: 20220011604
    Abstract: Eyewear including an optical functional member, control electronics, and a sealed electrical connective element connecting the electronics to the optical functional member. The connective element can directly connect the electronics to the optical functional member, or can connect through an intermediate contact, e.g., a plug-and-receptacle. The connective element can be routed from the electronics, around a rimlock of the eyewear to the optical functional member. The connective element can be a conductive compressible member, such as conductive rubber. In some embodiments, the connective element can be a multiconductor cable.

  • Patent number: 11188364
    Abstract: A method list is built for a currently executing application within a process virtual machine at a snapshot point, the method list comprising a set of methods capable of being executed by the currently executing application after the snapshot point, the snapshot point comprising an execution state of the currently executing application when a snapshot process is triggered. Profiling data of the currently executing application, collected prior to reaching the snapshot point, is committed, to a designated storage location. Using the profiling data and a just-in-time compiler of the process virtual machine, a method in the method list is compiled. Snapshot data comprising data of the execution state of the currently executing application at the snapshot point, including a result of the compiling, is stored.

  • Patent number: 11106941
    Abstract: A system having a bar containing distance sensors, such as LIDARs, that may be installed behind a shelf in an automated store. Shelves may be divided into storage zones, such as bins or lanes, and a distance sensor may measure the item quantity in each zone. Quantity changes indicate that a shopper has taken or placed items in the zone. Quantity changes may trigger analysis of camera images of the shelf to identify the items taken or replaced. The distance sensor elements within the bar may be relocatable so they can be positioned correctly behind the corresponding storage zones. The bar may have mounting mechanisms on either side for attachment to shelving support structures. These mounting mechanisms may include security locks. The bar may rotate relative to the mounting mechanisms to provide access to the shelf from behind.
