Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the quantity of hardware resources available for providing the computer implemented services may be modified. The quantity of hardware resources may be modified by adding removable cards to a host system. When the removable card is added, a removable attachment element may be used to secure the removable card in place and maintain operable connection between the host system and the removable card.

Abstract: A crossbar is provided that is operable to be removably installed in a sled for a modular server and/or information handling system, for example a network equipment building system. The crossbar includes a frame, a keystone portion of the frame forming a keystone air duct, and a riser guide extending from the frame. The keystone portion is operable to direct air flow through the keystone air duct towards a heat sink and/or a CPU. The riser guide is operable to align a riser to be plugged into a motherboard installed in the sled. The frame is operable to be a structural component that is substantially coupled to the sled chassis.

Abstract: An AI engine having an architect module to create a number of nodes and how the nodes are connected in a graph of concept nodes that make up a resulting AI model. The architect module also creates a first concept node by wrapping an external entity of code into a software container with an interface configured to exchange information in a protocol of a software language used by the external entity of code. The architect module also creates a second concept node derived from its description in a scripted file coded in a pedagogical programming language, and connects the second concept node into the graph of nodes in the resulting AI model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and storage of goods and to a transport and storage system and in particular, but not necessarily restricted thereto, a system for the transportation and storage of goods such as palletised goods and self-standing goods. The present invention seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably horizontally, vertically and offset stacked, despite different sizes of goods and support members therefor, such as pallets, whereby wasted volumes arising from the presence of irregular loads, pallets or pallets of different levels or different load ratings in storage and transport can be minimized.

Abstract: A vehicular safety system includes a vehicle that has a plurality of seat belts, an alarm and an ignition. Each of the seat belts is operationally coupled to the alarm and the ignition. A car seat is provided that has a belt and a clasp. The car seat is removably positioned within the vehicle. A conductor is coupled to the car seat and the conductor is selectively electrically coupled between the clasp and one of the seat belts when the car seat is occupied. Thus, the alarm detects when the conductor is operationally coupled to the buckle. The alarm generates an alarm sequence when the ignition is turned off and the conductor is electrically coupled between the clasp and the buckle. The alarm sequence includes an audible alarm such that the alarm may inhibit an occupant from being inadvertently left in the vehicle. A switch is positioned within the vehicle such that the may be manipulated. The switch is electrically coupled to the alarm and the switch de-actuates the alarm when the switch is manipulated.

Abstract: A return coupon holder is described for holding a return coupon issued in a store in conjunction with a customer's merchandise return transaction. The return coupon holder is preferably sized large enough to discourage the customer from stowing the coupon away, such as in a handbag. Additionally, holders may be of different types that visually or electronically convey information about a category associated with the customer's return transaction. Thus, salespersons may accordingly provide appropriate customer service to the customer. The holder categories may indicate an approximate dollar value of the return transaction, a type of merchandise returned, a return payment method, an assessment of the profitability of the customer, an assessment of the risk of fraud associated with the return transaction, and the like. A computer decision system may select holder type. Some embodiments of the coupon holder are fitted with a device that allow tracing of the customer's movements while still in the store.

Abstract: Computerized decision-making systems and methods are described for determining whether to provide one or more rewards, such as a coupon or instant discount, to a customer requesting to make a merchandise return at a store, and, if so, to determine the terms of the reward, such as value, expiration date/time and other terms that may be associated with a coupon. The reward determinations may be implemented in conjunction with a system for authorizing the requested merchandise return transaction. Information about the requested return may be used together with data about the customer's past purchase, return transactions, and other customer-related data. In some embodiments, the determinations are based, at least in part, on store-related information and policies. The reward may be printed with a receipt issued to the customer at the point of return and/or may be provided to the customer using a wide variety of other communications technologies.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing rewards, such as coupons, instant discounts, or rebates, to customers requesting to return merchandise at a merchant's point of return. The reward may be offered, for example, as an incentive not to complete the return or to encourage another purchase. A coupon with a short-term validity may encourage the customer to redeem the coupon before leaving the store, or within a given time frame. Terms of the reward may be personalized for the individual customer, for the return transaction, and/or for the current conditions at the store. The reward may be printed or otherwise provided by a return transaction device, such as with a receipt for the return transaction. Alternatively, the reward may be printed on another device and/or may be provided to the customer using a wide variety of other communications technologies.

Abstract: A multi-criteria event detection system, comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is capable of detecting a signature characteristic of a presence of an event and providing an output indicating the same. A processor for receiving each output of the plurality of sensors is also employed. The processor includes a probabilistic neural network for processing the sensor outputs. The probabilistic neural network comprises a nonlinear, nor-parametric pattern recognition algorithm that operates by defining a probability density function for a plurality of data sets that are each based on a training set data and an optimized kernel width parameter. The plurality of data sets includes a baseline, non-event, first data set; a second, event data set; and a third, nuisance data set.

Abstract: A method in a system having an antenna for tracking and transceiving intelligence bearing signals from/to satellites for use by a multiplicity of devices on an aircraft, and for automatically switching between different satellites while the aircraft is in route. The method includes the steps of retrieving navigational data from systems of the aircraft for use in determining the time and position of the aircraft. The method also determines if a service region of a first satellite is in transition, and if so; it determines if the satellite service overlaps with a second satellite and if the second satellite signal is stronger. If yes, then service from the second satellite is acquired by pointing the antenna to this second satellite and configuring second intelligence signals received from the second satellite. Then, the second intelligence bearing signals are displayed and distributed to devices within the aircraft.
