Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for creating a communicable linkage for information retrieval and notifications between devices. In this way, the invention identifies a mobile device at an entity location. The system may integrate into the mobile device and present an interactive display onto the display of the mobile device, allowing the user to select products/services associated with the entity. Based on the general interaction and selection a user makes via the mobile device, the system identifies the interaction and presents interaction data to the entity representative at the entity location for assisting the user.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling a securable device in a set of securable devices may include establishing a centralized data repository with data representative of status of each securable device. Communications with a mobile kiosk application 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). Responsive to receiving a status update of the securable device, the centralized data repository may be updated with the status update of the associated securable device.

Abstract: A hover section is displayed upon a GUI following the lapse of a hover grace period interval that is dynamically adjusted. A default hover grace period interval is set and increasing if a hover display module determines manipulations of the GUI indicate the hover section was displayed in error and is decreased if the hover display module receives a decrease hover grace period interval event. By dynamically adjusting the grace period interval, future hover sections may be displayed to better reflect the GUI user's intent.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for extraction and utilization of user activity across networks platforms for correlation and updating of user resource needs. As such, the invention categorically identifies and alternates user resource needs based on network platform monitoring modules embedded within the network platform. In this way, the system may categorically alter user resource needs based on user activity across the network platforms for user resource recommendations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for extraction and utilization of user activity across networks platforms for achievement prediction and leveraging. As such, the user network activity is identified and paired with user information. Utilizing the network activity and user information the system dynamically generates a virtual visualization simulation. This virtual visualization simulation trends achievements and illustrates future user simulations based on user network activity and actions.

Abstract: An locker for storing equipment is disclosed. The locker includes at least one first member defining a storage space with an opening for a user to access the storage space, a second member adjacent to said at least one first member, and defining a first side of an open locker slot, and a door having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the door being shaped to enclose the opening of the storage space. The second portion of the door extending from the first portion of the door and being shaped to form a second side of the open locker slot. The door having an unlocked state and a locked state. The unlocked state provides access to the storage space and the open locker slot. In the locked state, secondary equipment is maintained in the storage space and equipment is maintained in the open locker slot.

Abstract: A coupling to connect a primary heat exchanger to a condensing heat exchanger of a furnace includes a coupling box extending between a primary heat exchanger and a condensing heat exchanger. The coupling box defines a flow path for flue gas between a primary heat exchanger outlet and a condensing heat exchanger inlet. A tube sheet is located at a distance from the tube sheet in the coupling box. The liner and the tube sheet define an insulating liner space therebetween reducing condensation on the liner.

Abstract: Differing first and second audio signal sample rates from first and second audio signals are matched to each other. If signal sample rates are different, a frame of samples of the first audio signal is duplicated. The duplicate copies are multiplied by a window function and its inverse to produce “windowed frames” first and last samples of which can be deleted or added to increase or decrease a frame rate.

Abstract: A latch assembly for securing a furnace door to a furnace casing includes a latch for placement on an inside of the furnace door; a knob for placement on a front surface of the furnace door; a latch plate for placement between the latch and the knob; and a threaded screw for threadably coupling the knob to the latch. The latch plate supports the weight of the furnace door in a closed position and reduces a pinch force used for rotating the knob.

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. The access key is also configured to be usable by the locker server. The locker server is configured to receive a locker-access request. The locker-access request is configured to indicate access of a selected locker is user requested. The locker server is configured to use the access key so as to facilitate secured user access of the selected locker associated with the rack of lockers.
