Abstract: An electronic commerce (e-commerce) system may send advertisement emails to customers that are registered with the e-commerce system. The advertisement emails may include mailto links. Each mailto link describes an email message that is generated when that link is selected. When a mailto link is selected, the generated email message includes one or more parameters related to a money transfer made by the customer to a second financial account. For example, the generated email message may include a customer identifier, and/or one or more parameters that indicate the second financial account to which a money transfer should be made, and an amount to be transferred. The generated email message may then be transmitted to the e-commerce system. The e-commerce system may receive the message and, based on the parameters in the received message, communicate with a payment processing system to perform the money transfer indicated in the message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating construction of structures are disclosed. Building information modeling (BIM) data is received in a non-standardized format for a set of structures undergoing construction. Scheduling data is received associated with construction of each structure in the set of structures. A database is accessed that stores construction data that associates multiple elements of construction projects in a hierarchical configuration. Using the BIM data and the scheduling data, a model is generated that standardizes how particular elements of a particular structure relate to the multiple elements in the hierarchical configuration. Using the generated model, a status of construction of the particular structure is generated. In some implementations, the model is generated and/or trained using machine learning.

Abstract: A topographical inspection device that employs one or both of a photometric stereo system for determining surface normal for individual pixel locations in an image space and/or dot pattern projection. A device body supports light elements at spaced apart locations to illuminate an inspection region and a dot pattern projector for projecting a dot pattern onto the inspection region. A camera captures images of the surface when illuminated by the light elements and/or dot pattern projector. Controlling the light elements and camera, a first topographical measurement of the inspection region is made based on light intensity in images taken by the camera. A second topographical measurement may be made based on dot pattern projection.
