  • Patent number: 11526817
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence system is configured to receive over a network a search request for a transportation instrument associated with a first date. Matching scheduled transportation events are identified. Matching scheduled transportation events categorized by a first trained learning engine are presented by a user device. A selection of a first of the matching scheduled transportation events is received from the user device. A second trained learning engine is used to predict a time frame when the first matching scheduled transportation event will be associated with a minimum attribute value. A reservation instruction is transmitted to a remote system to reserve utilization of the first matching scheduled transportation event during the time frame predicted by the second trained learning engine. A user is enabled to utilize the first matching scheduled transportation event for transport.

  • Patent number: 11525736
    Abstract: A computer determines one or more temperature sensitive components from a part details in a bill of materials for soldering on a printed circuit board assembly, where the bill of materials is a record comprising part details having a reference designator. The computer determines whether temperature sensitive components exist in the bill of materials. Based on determining that at least one of the temperature sensitive components exist in the bill of materials, the computer determines temperature limits for each temperature sensitive component based on the reference designator, monitors, using the thermographic cameras the measured temperatures of the temperature sensitive components during soldering in the reflow oven.

    Abstract: Various examples are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing a customer lead assessment and generation tool for treasury management. A method includes receiving data relating to a customer and customer activity. Product leads are identified for the customer using product lead logic applied to the data, and the product leads are prioritized using priority logic applied to the data for the identified product leads. An image, including information related to at least one prioritized product lead of the customer, is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a device of a user. An input is received from the user indicative of whether the user will take action on the at least one prioritized product lead of the customer, the input is stored in a memory, and customer data is updated based on the input.

  • Publication number: 20220183841
    Abstract: An instrument for repairing an atrioventricular heart valve, mitral heart valve or tricuspid heart valve includes a first tube having a tube axis defining an axial direction. A leaflet grabbing structure is arranged at a distal part of the first tube and contiguous to the first tube. The leaflet grabbing structure has a main body and a jaw, the jaw being movable relative to the main body. The jaw has a first proximally facing abutment surface and the main body has a second, distally facing abutment surface. The instrument has a needle that is cannulated and forms an inner tube. The needle is releasable from the first tube and movable relative to the main body in axial directions. The leaflet grabbing structure clamps a leaflet of the heart valve between the first and second abutment surfaces, while the jaw allows the needle to extend therethrough.
