Patent number: 12002316Abstract: When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. In conventional systems, once validated, the scanner prints a paper stub that typically includes seat location data. Production of this paper stub can be dispensed with, and the associated data conveyed by the paper stub as well as additional information not contemplated or possible with paper stubs can be conveyed by an electronic stub or e-stub that resides on a device of the attendee, generally the same device employed to present the ticket information.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Flash Seats, LLCInventors: Samuel Gerace, Michael Rojas, Matthew Servant

Publication number: 20240053730Abstract: Described herein are methods and manufacturing systems that select fasteners for pre-feeding and, in some examples, pre-feed the selected fasteners. These methods involve aggregating historical manufacturing data, comprising hole identifications and fastener grip lengths, previously selected for these hole identifications. A specific grip length and a corresponding fastener repeatability rating are then determined for each hole identification from this historical manufacturing data. For example, a specific grip length corresponds to the most frequently selected grip length for this hole identification. In some examples, the historical manufacturing data is analyzed using machine learning. The fastener repeatability rating is compared to an operating threshold, in some examples, to determine if the corresponding grip length should be selected for a particular hole location.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Amelia R. Gonzalez, Richard Agudelo, Michael Rojas, Gabrielle Forgione, Benjamin B. Warner, Skye Jenkins, Benjamin Christain Culver, III

Publication number: 20230282050Abstract: When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. The process associated with scanning can be dispensed with, which can improve attendee experiences, reduce costs associated with managing a venue, as well as other advantages. For example, instead of scanning a ticket at a point of ingress to the venue, a device of the user can self-scan the ticket, and then present indicia that indicates this process has occurred. The indicia can be presented to a guest services representative, who can verify that a valid ticket was redeemed by merely observing the indicia and without scanning.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Samuel Gerace, Michael Rojas, Matthew Servant
