  • Publication number: 20240386077
    Abstract: A data processing system implements providing multiple targeted intranet sites and/or employee experiences within a tenant of a multitenant computing environment. The administrators of a tenant are provided with tools to create multiple separate instances of the intranet site and/or employee experiences. The individual instances of the intranet site and/or employee experiences are separate and utilize a layout and include components that are appropriate for the particular audience for which the instance of the intranet site or employee experience has been tailored. The administrator can define affinity information that indicates which users or groups of users should be directed to a particular intranet site and/or employee experience. The administrator can define an order in which the intranet sites and/or employee experiences are considered when determining which intranet site or employee experience to present to a user in response to a request to access the intranet site or the employee experience.

  • Publication number: 20240185767
    Abstract: A display includes pixels distributed in a pixel array of rows and columns that are grouped in mutually exclusive pixel clusters on a display substrate in a display area. Cluster controllers are disposed on the display substrate and are each connected to the pixels in a pixel cluster to control the pixels to emit light. A display controller external to the display area is connected to each row of pixels in each pixel cluster with a row wire. Each row of pixels in each pixel cluster can be connected with a cluster row wire and the corresponding cluster row wires of each pixel cluster can be connected together. The cluster controllers can be disposed between pixels in the pixel cluster or between adjacent pixel clusters on the display substrate.

  • Patent number: 11956389
    Abstract: The method and system allow a user to launch a client application on an web-enabled device and subsequently to navigate to an image source screen within the client application. After receiving an image source selection from the user, the client application retrieves images from the selected image source. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application transmits the image to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.

  • Publication number: 20220174867
    Abstract: An autonomous lawn mower is described. The autonomous lawn mower comprises a chassis supporting a podium. In some examples, the podium comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion may support one or more sensors, antennas and/or cameras that may be used to provide environmental information regarding the surroundings of the autonomous lawn mower. The upper portion may be detached from the lower portion such that the upper portion is calibrated prior to the upper portion being coupled to the lower portion.

  • Patent number: 10438214
    Abstract: The system and methods allow a user to request and receive an electronic coupon using a client application on an internet-enabled device such as a mobile phone and use the electronic coupon when making a purchase at a store. Specifically, the mobile device requests and receives the mobile coupon from a server or a network of servers. The server or network of servers determines which if any electronic coupon(s) to send to the client application and sends an electronic coupon to the client application. The client application displays the electronic coupon with a coupon identifier on the display of the mobile device. The user then uses the mobile device to enter the coupon identifier into a point-of-sale terminal to trigger the discount or other special deal offered on the electronic coupon when making a purchase at the point-of-sale terminal.

  • Patent number: 10054949
    Abstract: A robotic surface treatment apparatus treats corners of rooms more effectively through intricate guidance of the apparatus through inside and outside corners. In one aspect, contact and/or non-contact sensors provide information to one or more on-board processors on the apparatus to enable selective overriding of obstacle avoidance program code and allow the apparatus to get closer to walls to facilitate treatment. In another aspect, the sensors provide information to the on-board processors to control backup motion of the apparatus to cover previously-missed areas when turning corners. In yet another aspect, the apparatus is shaped to have its treatment mechanism positioned more closely to the front of the apparatus to enable treatment more closely to walls near corners. In one embodiment, the robotic surface treatment apparatus is a robotic vacuum. The vacuum may have its cleaning brush positioned near a flat front portion of the apparatus.
