  • Patent number: 10074072
    Abstract: Apparatus and method to facilitate determination of item locations are disclosed herein. One or more storage medium to store a plurality of initial tag to item holder mappings that define associations between select ones of a plurality of tags associated with items to select ones of a plurality of item holders that hold the items; one or more processors; and read rate and match modules to be executed by the one or more processors may be provided.

  • Patent number: 10071292
    Abstract: A co-forged iron type golf club is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention discloses a co-forged iron type golf club with the body portion made out of a first material and at least one weight adjustment portion monolithically encased within the body portion of the co-forged iron type golf club head without the need for secondary attachment or machining operations. The present invention creates of an iron type golf club head from a pre-form billet that already contains two or more materials before the actual forging process resulting in a multi-material golf club head that doesn't require any post manufacturing operations such as machining, welding, swaging, gluing, and the like.

  • Patent number: 9967057
    Abstract: A method includes communicating data in a channel. Received symbols for the data correspond to points of a received symbol space respectively. First and second dimensions of the received symbol space correspond to a real part and an imaginary part of the received symbols respectively. A first received symbol for the data is obtained. A first region of the received symbol space for the first received symbol is determined. A first regression model associated with the first region and a first bit of the first received symbol is retrieved from a storage. The first regression model includes a plurality of regressors. A first log-likelihood ratio (LLR) for the first bit of the first received symbol is estimated using the first regression model.

  • Publication number: 20180004986
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an RFID Antenna/Tag Location Configuration device (RLC) may facilitate placement of one or more RFID antennas in a physical space. The RLC may collect RFID data from tags determine which of the RFID antennas need to be relocated. The RLC may determine, based on collected RFID data, whether each antenna is a dominant antenna and/or has a substantial read rate. If an antenna is not dominant and/or does not exhibit a substantial read-rate, the RLC ma indicate that the antenna should be relocated. The RLC may also be configured to filter collected RFID data prior to using the data for determination of antennas. The RLC may also determine, using the RFID antennas, a physical location of RFID tags in the physical space using detected signal strength for RFID tags. Additional embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20170347269
    Abstract: A Wi-Fi virtualized network operator (WVNO) function can be created by offering resources of a wireless access point (AP), for example, a Wi-Fi access point, to one or more third party service providers. In one aspect, the AP can broadcast two or more service set identifiers (SSIDs) that are linked to respective service provider over the same frequencies. End user devices (EUDs) located within the coverage area of the AP can select a SSID corresponding to a preferred network and connect to the preferred network via the access point. A routing device can be employed to direct traffic to/from the EUDs and a device of an appropriate network based on the SSID that has been selected.

  • Publication number: 20170286897
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a system for optimizing storage area arrangement. A system control device may manage location control devices in various locations. Each location may comprise storage areas accessible to trackable targets. At least a portion of the storage areas may be arranged in parallel to form aisles that may be monitored by aisle monitoring equipment. The monitoring equipment may comprise at least two sensing devices capable of capturing data such as, for example, a count of trackable objects accessing an aisle or a storage area, time spent within the aisle or proximate to a storage area, characteristics of the trackable object (e.g., gender, age, etc.), etc. The captured data may then be analyzed by the system control device to determine whether a change in arrangement is necessary. A change in arrangement may help to alleviate bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of paths taken through the aisles/storage areas, etc.

  • Publication number: 20170289210
    Abstract: Described embodiments enable device users sharing content items via a content management system to view and modify content items within native applications on their client devices. In various embodiments, a client application detects a save operation on a content item and prompts a user to provide a comment based on changes to the content item. User comments and metadata are provided to a content management system to create a historical log that provides a comprehensive summary of user interactions with a content item, including comments regarding content item changes, version information, and timestamps. The content management system provides the comments and other log contents to client applications associated with other users sharing the content item. The client applications use the comments and log information to provide notifications to the users regarding content item changes and comments by sharing users.

  • Publication number: 20170257405
    Abstract: A content management system allows users to collaboratively edit, draft, or otherwise work with the same content item simultaneously by displaying a real-time data stream of a native application displaying a content item on a host device in a screen sharing window of a webpage. The screen sharing window is capable of receiving edit inputs and sending the edit inputs to a client application on the host device. The edit inputs are provided as interpretable code for the native application for the content item and the client application provides the interpretable code to the native application to have the changes corresponding to the edit inputs incorporated into the content item. Further, the cursors of other users participating in the collaborative editing session are displayed in the screen sharing window to allow each participant to view and follow the changes made by the other participants of the session.

  • Publication number: 20170192656
    Abstract: A client device displays a content item in a window associated with a process on the device. A client application monitors the process for the content item and determines whether the content item is synchronized with a client device or content management system. When the content item is not synchronized, a synchronization interface is displayed to permit a user to request synchronizing the content item. When the user requests synchronization, the content item is moved to a shared folder synchronized with the content management system or client device.

  • Publication number: 20170185687
    Abstract: A content management system aggregates and provides users' interaction with a content item for display in an activity feed. Events corresponding to the users' interaction with the content item are provided in conjunction with a user interface of a native application displaying the content item. Though provided in conjunction with the native application, the events are maintained separate from the content data of the content item and displayed in the activity feed by an application separate from the native application of the content item. The activity feed permits users to exchange chat messages and retrieve information for multiple versions of the content item.
