  • Publication number: 20260107333
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for inferred pairing of objects and/or tracking devices to trips. For example, information associated with a first beacon signal generated by a first tracking device attached to a first object may be received from a first reader device. One or more reader devices that received any beacon signal generated by the first tracking device within a period of time may be identified. A second tracking device for which a second beacon signal was received by the identified one or more reader devices within the period of time may be identified. This second tracing device may be attached to a second object. In response to identifying the second tracking device, the second tracking device may be associated with a trip in order to track the second tracking device while the second object and the first object are on the trip.

  • Patent number: 11238384
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that comprises a processor, and logic executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the processor to perform a method comprising receiving at least one attribute of a condition of a good, and using the at least one attribute to calculate an actual Intelligent Routing (IR) code for the good. Further, the method comprises calculating and storing a target IR code for each of at least two receivers, and comparing the actual IR code for the good to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers. Finally, the method comprises determining, based on the comparison of the actual IR code for the good to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers, which receiver of the at least two receivers will receive the good.

  • Patent number: 11113646
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a product delivery process, according to one embodiment, includes receiving an actual Intelligent Routing (IR) code for a good, the actual IR code being a single string of alphanumeric characters representing a remaining life of the good. A target IR code for a receiver is also received, the target IR code being a single string of alphanumeric characters representing a minimum remaining shelf life of the good at the date of delivery. The actual IR code is compared to the target IR code. Based on the comparison, a determination is made as to whether the good is compliant with predefined requirements of the receiver. A result of the determination is output in response to determining that the good is non-compliant with the predefined requirements of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11113645
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a product delivery process, according to one embodiment, includes receiving an actual Intelligent Routing (IR) code for a good, the good being a perishable food product. A target IR code for each of at least two receivers is also received. The actual IR code for the good is compared to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers. Based on the comparison of the actual IR code for the good to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers, a determination as to which receiver of the at least two receivers will receive the good, and the result is output. The actual IR code is updated based on sensor data received from a sensor coupled to the good, and recompared to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers.

  • Patent number: 5426750
    Abstract: A translation lookaside buffer for use with a virtual memory system including apparatus for storing virtual addresses, apparatus for storing a physical address associated with each of the virtual addresses, some of the physical addresses corresponding to pages in which the information sought by the virtual address resides, and others of the physical addresses corresponding to pages in which the physical address of information sought by the virtual address resides.

  • Patent number: 5305444
    Abstract: A translation lookaside buffer for caching virtual addresses from a plurality of sources along with the associated physical addresses which physical addresses must be rapidly accessable and in which virtual addresses may appear simultaneously from two of the sources requiring translation into physical addresses, including a primary cache for storing a plurality of individual virtual addresses and associated physical addresses from all of the plurality of sources, apparatus for storing a single virtual address and its associated physical address from one of the plurality of sources which occurs most often each time a virtual address and an associated physical address from that one of the plurality of sources is referenced in the primary cache, and apparatus for ascertaining whether the virtual address held in the apparatus for storing a single virtual address and an associated physical address is a virtual address sought when an attempt is made to access the primary cache for a virtual address from the one of
