Abstract: A retrofit kit retrofits a buoy to provide dynamic control of a freeboard of the retrofitted buoy. The retrofit kit includes buoyancy chambers, an air reservoir, and a valve arrangement. A method for retrofitting a buoy retrofits a buoy to provide dynamic control of a freeboard of the retrofitted buoy. The buoyancy chambers surrounding a vertical axis of the buoy with a center of mass of the buoy disposed on the vertical axis below the buoyancy chambers. The buoyancy chambers provide a variable buoyancy ranging from a minimum buoyancy to a maximum buoyancy. The air reservoir inflates of the buoyancy chambers. The valve arrangement dynamically sets the freeboard of the buoy upon inflation and deflation of the buoyancy chambers for varying the variable buoyancy between the minimum buoyancy and the maximum buoyancy.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of data from social media service computing platforms and other sources with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive information from one or more social media service computing platforms. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may identify, based on the received information, whether a change should be made to user data associated with a user identifiable by the received information. If the information indicates that a change should be made to the user data, then the event control computing platform may extract metadata from the received information to verify the accuracy of the received information. When the metadata verifies the accuracy of the received information, the event control computing platform may generate a command configured to cause a change to the user data and then may transmit the generated command to an event validation computing platform.

Abstract: Systems and computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing one or more data sources to generate a customized user interface. A first set of services and operations may be generated. Each service and operation in the first set of services and operations may be ranked based on an analysis of user engagement data. A second set of services and operations may be generated based on the ranking of each service and operation in the first set. Client-side instructions to render the second set of services and operations may be transmitted to a user device.

Abstract: Systems are provided for providing a contextualized set of help topics. A user interaction contextualization system receives a search request for help topics from a user device, responsive to which the user interaction contextualization system retrieves an uncontextualized set of help topics from a help topics index. The user interaction contextualization system may collect and analyze contextual data from various data sources, and real-time and historical user engagement data associated with the user. The user interaction contextualization system may then use the collected data to generate a contextualized set of help topics.

Abstract: Systems are provided for providing contextualized user recapture solutions. A user interaction contextualization system may receive a notification of a user accessing one of the organization's services via a user device. Responsive to the notification, the user interaction contextualization system may collect and analyze contextual data from various data sources, and real-time and historical user engagement data associated with the user. The user interaction contextualization system may then use the collected data to determine the user's likelihood of abandonment of the organization's services. Based on the likelihood of abandonment, the user interaction contextualization system may initiate one or more user recapture solutions.

Abstract: A system may include at least one server having a processor and a communication interface communicatively coupled to an Internet connection and a non-transitory memory device storing instructions that cause the system to retrieve, from a data repository, user information corresponding to a user of products and/or services of a business entity, identify by, at least one a social network identification of the user, and match the user to a plurality of individuals based on the user information. The system may the plurality of social network communications associated with the social network identification of the user using rules provided by the rules engine server, and generate, by the sourcing engine server, based on the analyzed social network communications, a trigger condition based on predetermined criteria stored in a database and in response to the trigger condition, solicit, via a secure network, input from the matched individuals corresponding to the trigger condition.

Abstract: Systems and computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing one or more data sources to generate a set of operations. First data may be received from a first data source and second data may be received from a second data source. The first data and second data may be processed by conversion engines to generate a first set of common data and a second set of common data. These sets of common data may be locally stored. A processing engine may analyze these sets of common data to detect one or more predefined events. A set of operations associated with the detected predefined events may be generated. The set of operations may be transmitted to a user device.

Abstract: Methods and devices for inline sampling of a bulk material, such as a powder, are provided. The material's bulk density can be determined from samples drawn using methods and devices described herein. One embodiment of a method of sampling a material allows the material to flow through a sampling compartment, closes off the flow of material below the sampling compartment, builds up a column of material through the sampling compartment, shifts the sampling compartment to remove a slice of material in the column, and places the slice of material into a sample container. A device for sampling a material is provided in another embodiment. The device includes an inlet, an outlet aligned with the inlet, and a sample collector. The sample collector can include at least one through hole and be configured to move such that the at least one through hole can be moved into and out of alignment with the inlet and the outlet.
