    Abstract: An apparatus for use with a rack of lockers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a key-facilitation server configured to cooperate with a locker server, and also configured to receive a key-access request. The locker server is associated with a rack of lockers including a first compartment configured to allow storage of secondary equipment, a second compartment having an open locker slot configured to maintain storage of equipment, and a locker divider separating the first compartment from the second compartment. The key-access request is configured to indicate a user request configured to request usage of an access key to be usable by the locker server. The locker server is configured to receive a locker-access request to indicate access of a selected locker is user requested. The locker server is configured to use the access key to facilitate secured user access of the selected locker associated with the rack of lockers.

  • Patent number: 11886845
    Abstract: Dashboard evaluation includes receiving a dashboard code defining a dashboard that includes visualizations in a layout, rendering, in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a dashboard editing tool, the dashboard based on the dashboard code, and extracting, using the dashboard code, a data attribute of a data object represented by a visualization of the multiple visualizations. Dashboard evaluation further includes evaluating, by the dashboard editing tool, the visualization based on the data attribute to obtain a score, presenting, in the GUI of the dashboard editing tool, a recommendation based on the score failing to satisfy a first threshold, receiving, through the GUI of the dashboard editing tool and after presenting the recommendation, an edit to the dashboard code that adjusts the visualization, and storing, by the dashboard editing tool, the edit to the dashboard code.

  • Publication number: 20230106318
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that generate recommendations for resource specifications used in virtual-machine-hosting requests. When distributed applications are submitted to distributed-computer-system-based hosting platforms for hosting, the hosting requester generally specifies the computational resources that will need to be provisioned for each virtual machine included in a set of virtual machines that correspond to the distributed application, such as the processor bandwidth, memory size, local and remote networking bandwidths, and data-storage capacity needed for supporting execution of each virtual machine. In many cases, the hosting platform reserves the specified computational resources and accordingly charges for them. However, in many cases, the specified computational resources significantly exceed the computational resources actually needed for hosting the distributed application.

  • Publication number: 20230051060
    Abstract: A system and method of controlling a securable device may include establishing a centralized data repository with data representative of status of each securable device. Communications with a mobile kiosk executing on a mobile device of a user may be established. Responsive to receiving a request from the mobile kiosk to identify an available securable device local and accessible to the user, the centralized data repository may be accessed, at least one securable device that is available may be identified, and data associated with the identified available securable device(s) may be communicated to the mobile kiosk to cause the mobile kiosk to communicate at least a portion of the data to one of the securable device(s) to provide access thereto. Responsive to receiving a status update of the securable device accessed from the mobile kiosk, the centralized data repository may be updated with the status update.
