Abstract: An enhanced system and methods implement intelligent decision making autonomous control of Unit Load Devices (ULDs) within a prescribed airport perimeter, such as an airport. An Intelligent Autonomous ULD Control Tower (IAUCT) receives demands for ULDs, maintains a ULD repository data store, and controls ULDs within the prescribed airport perimeter. The IAUCT identifies at least a ULD state and a specific ULD position for the ULD within a prescribed airport perimeter, and stores the ULD state and specific ULD position in a ULD repository data store. The IAUCT selects a next action for the ULD based upon the demand for ULDs and based upon the ULD state and specific ULD position and the demand for ULDs within the perimeter area. The IAUCT dynamically identifies an optimized route for moving the ULD within the prescribed airport perimeter based upon the selected next action.

Abstract: Logistics are optimized for delivering a product within a product distribution network. A computer receives order data, the order data includes order information and a delivery location of a product ordered by a user. The order data further includes an order history of the user including order returns or cancelations. Using data analytics, the order data is analyzed to determine a logistics plan for the delivery of the product. A probability of return of the product is calculated, and a probability of re-order of the product is calculated. As part of the logistics plan and based on the analyzing of the order data, a recommended storage facility is generated for a second delivery location resulting from a re-routing of the delivery of the product, in response to the order being canceled.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a microfluidic device comprising a set of micro-structured electrodes. The electrodes are made of a fusible alloy such as Field's Metal and are patterned on a layer of PDMS. The molten fusible alloy is poured over the patterned PDMA layer and a suction force is applied to ensure uniformity of flow of the molten metal. A second layer comprising a flow channel orthogonal to the direction of the micro-structured electrodes is disposed under the first layer to form the microfluidic device. The device shows enhanced sensitivity to RBC detection at high frequencies that are also bio-compatible (above 2 MHz). Multiple layers of the micro-structures electrodes can be sandwiched between layers of flow channels to provide a 3D microfluidic device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing and monitoring a print are disclosed. An electronic document is received for a print job via a computer network. After receiving the electronic document, a plurality of characteristics for the print job is determined. Based on the plurality of characteristics, one or more conditions of one or more network-connected printers are detected by monitoring the one or more network-connected printers. Further, a recommendation is generated to utilize the one of the printers based on the one or more conditions and plurality of characteristics for the print job. Subsequently, one of the printers is selected based on the recommendation. After selecting the printer, the print job is transmitted for printing the electronic document.
