  • Publication number: 20200065771
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for location-based augmented reality for job seekers. An example system includes a mobile device and a remote server. The mobile device includes a camera to collect video and a processor configured to execute an employment app to generate, in real-time, a computer-generated layer that includes a balloon for each of the employment locations. The processor also is configured to execute the employment app to generate, in real-time, an augmented reality interface by overlaying the computer-generated layer onto the video. A display location and a display size for each of the balloons indicate the employment locations to the employment candidate. The mobile device includes a display to display the augmented reality interface. The remote server is configured to identify up to the predetermined number of the employment locations. Each of the employment locations corresponds with one or more employment postings.

  • Publication number: 20200051033
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for automated resume and job posting creation with limited user-generated information. An example automated system includes a database and processor(s). The processor(s) are configured to obtain employment information for previous positions of a candidate via an employment app. For each of the previous positions, the processor(s) are configured to present a position interface; collect an employer name, a position title, a location, and a period of employment via the position interface; present a responsibilities interface that includes suggested responsibilities for the previous position; and collect, via the responsibilities interface, one or more selected responsibilities. The processor(s) are configured to retrieve, for each of the previous positions, the suggested responsibilities from the database based on the employer name, the position title, the location, and the period of employment.

  • Patent number: 9177185
    Abstract: Wireless sensors for detection of an analyte may include a sensor receiving antenna configured to receive interrogation pulses having an interrogation frequency, a DC converter, a relaxation oscillator circuit electrically, and a sensor transmitting antenna. The relaxation oscillator circuit may include a capacitance element that defines a response-pulse frequency of the wireless sensor. The capacitance element may include an interdigitated capacitor coated with a detection layer of a functional material having a dielectric constant that defines the dielectric constant of the interdigitated capacitor. This dielectric constant changes when the functional material is exposed to the analyte, thereby changing the response-pulse frequency of the relaxation oscillator circuit to an analyte-exposure frequency indicative of the exposure of the functional material to the analyte. Wireless systems for detecting an analyte may include a wireless sensor that communicates with an interrogation module.
