  • Patent number: 10970459
    Abstract: Dynamic web content personalization may be used to alter a web page such that two different people who view that web page do not see the exact same content on that page. The present disclosure includes techniques that allow a web page to be structured, via underlying source code, so that content can be dynamically generated based on a user transaction history. Further, dynamic content customization can effectively change the layout and functionality of a web page in ways not previously contemplated. For example, different control elements may become accessible based on a particular contextual user profile assigned to a user based on a transaction history. Modular content modules may also have a different appearance for different users.

  • Publication number: 20210096001
    Abstract: A magnetic tracking system is configured to determine an object pose of a tracked object in an environment of the magnetic tracking system. The tracking system includes a transmitter assembly that includes a transmitting coil configured to generate a magnetic signal indicative of an object pose of a tracked object with respect to the transmitter assembly and a marker that visually identifies a pose of the transmitter assembly with respect to a camera device. The camera device captures at least one image of the transmitter assembly. A computing device determines, based on the image, a pose for the transmitter assemblies in the image. Based on the magnetic signal and the pose associated with the transmitter assembly, the computing device determines the object pose of the tracked object in the environment.

  • Patent number: 10920001
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining a cationic polymer by polymerization of at least one cationic monomer, at least one crosslinker and optionally further monomers, such as nonionic monomers, associative monomers and/or chain transfer agents. The cationic polymer has an at least bimodal molecular weight distribution with at least one first peak (P1) and at least one second peak (P2), wherein the first peak has a lower average sedimentation coefficient of ?100 Sved and the second peak has a higher average sedimentation coefficient of ?1000 Sved. The polymerization is carried out in two subsequent steps I) and II). In step II), the crosslinker is either completely absent or present in a very limited amount. Step II) is carried out after the polymerization of step I is finished or vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20210034994
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one processor that receives a data set of a data stream from a data source, where the data set includes a time-varying data points. The processor determines event observations associated with data points of the time-varying data points based on a detection model to identify types of the event observations, including: i) anomalies, ii) change-points, iii) patterns, or iv) outliers. The processor generates anomaly records in an event data store based on the event observations and automatically generates event records for at least one of the anomaly records based on variables of at least one dimension of the time-varying data points, where the event record links one or more event observations. The processor automatically applies changes in the event record to each event observation of the one or more event observations based fon the linking by the event record.
