Abstract: An exemplary system having a processor and a memory therein includes means for creating an isolation group, in which creating the isolation groups includes: defining isolation requirements, identifying a group of features utilizing call-out functions, and selecting from among the group of features utilizing call-out functions a group of features having the defined isolation requirements; deploying platform software integrating the isolation requirements, in which the platform software contains instructions to map the isolation requirements to a customer organization; creating the customer organization; creating a unique variant of the customer organization, in which creating the unique variant of the customer organization includes declaratively applying an isolation layer containing isolation requirements on top of a base layer for the customer organization; and deploying the unique variant of the customer organization onto the customer organization's computing infrastructure, in which the unique variant vali

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of capturing sensor data associated with a retail location. The systems and methods further include a point-of-sale device for processing customer transactions and generating an event trigger for capturing sensor data from one or more of the sensors at the retail location. In response to the event trigger, the systems and methods capture data from the one or more sensors at the retail location and provide access to the stored sensor data and event triggers via a user interface of the point-of-sale device for review of the stored sensor data and event trigger.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for pre-configured per-tenant isolation in a multi-tenant cloud based computing environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for a customer experience resource facility for scheduling a time-based resource on a commerce processing device and accepting an input for a product-based resource, and processing a payment in respect of the time-based resource and the product-based resource using a payment processing facility on the commerce processing device, where the payment processing facility processes payments through the commerce processing device based at least in part on an input received from the customer experience resource facility.

Abstract: The application relates to point of sale devices and associated methods with adaptive displays. A grid of GUI elements is displayed and a shopping cart. The GUI elements relate to items such as discounts, apps (for example loyalty apps), products, collections, to name a few examples. Rather than having a fixed selection, functionality and appearance of the GUI elements, with the provided devices and methods, the grid of GUI elements is adaptively updated based on context. The context may include, for example, customer information, for example the presence/absence of customer information, and specific information pertaining to a particular customer. The context may also include shopping cart information, for example whether there are items in the cart, which items are in the cart, value of items in the cart.

Abstract: A method for ensuring the correct orientation of tubing in a gas turbine engine. The method including prefabricating a first alignment bend in a first tube, prefabricating a second alignment bend in a second tube, aligning the first alignment bend in the same plane as the second alignment bend to place the first tube and the second tube in the correct orientation during installation, and connecting the first tube and the second tube.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for distributing mass copies of text and/or images on a novel medium, namely eggs, by using the eggshell of the egg as an advertising or message-bearing medium. Mass quantities of eggs are imprinted with a promotional image prior to distributing said eggs to consumers. The promotional image can be, for example, a corporate logo, a national flags, a charitable insignias, a messages or a trademark and can be multi-colored. A matrix of eggs are preferably imprinted by a like matrix of printing tampons. The eggs are preferably lifted and oriented by a like matrix of vacuum heads.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for distributing mass copies of text and/or images on a novel medium, namely eggs, by using the eggshell of the egg as an advertising or message-bearing medium. Mass quantities of eggs are imprinted with a promotional image prior to distributing said eggs to consumers. The promotional image can be, for indicative of a modification to the egg's content, or consist of warnings or instructions pertaining to security or emergency matters. The shells of the eggs are imprinted by a method comprising the steps of (1) repeatedly transferring one row of eggs at a time from a carton having M rows of N eggs to N empty egg-receiving cradles until all the eggs in the carton has been transferred, moving the cradles through a number of imprinting stations, imprinting N eggs at each such station with N tampons, and transferring N imprinted eggs at a time into each of the M rows in the cartons.
