  • Patent number: 10848346
    Abstract: In accordance with a designation of a private alias endpoint as a routing target for traffic directed to a service from within an isolated virtual network of a provider network, a tunneling intermediary receives a baseline packet generated at a compute instance. The baseline packet indicates a public IP (Internet Protocol) address of the service as the destination, and a private IP address of the compute instance as the source. In accordance with a tunneling protocol, the tunneling intermediary generates an encapsulation packet comprising at least a portion of the baseline packet and a header indicating the isolated virtual network. The encapsulation packet is transmitted to a node of the service.

  • Patent number: 10719861
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling shelf display units and for graphically presenting information on shelf display units are disclosed. A system includes one or more display units configured to be coupled to shelves of a modular shelving system, one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more display units, one or more memory components communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory components. When executed by the one or more processors, the machine readable instructions cause the system to determine a product identifier corresponding to a product, identify one or more display units to update in response to determining the product identifier corresponding to the product, and update a graphical output of the one or more display units identified to be updated in response to identifying the one or more display units to update.

  • Publication number: 20200193364
    Abstract: An equipment management system is provided for use in a facility having an inventory of items. The system includes an inventory database, a user database, a person identification system and an inventory management system. The inventory database has inventory data stored therein, wherein the inventory data corresponds to the items of the inventory. The user database has user data stored therein, wherein the user data corresponding to an identity of a user. The person identification system generates a user identification signal based on a detected biometric parameter of the user and based on a detected non-biometric parameter associated with the user. The inventory management system generates an inventory identification signal based on a determination as to whether the user has removed an item of the inventory of items.

  • Publication number: 20200084421
    Abstract: A method for gas detection including monitoring a concentration of a gas measured by a gas detection device to determine whether or not the concentration of the gas exceeds a threshold, when the concentration of the gas is determined to exceed the threshold, obtaining an image from a camera, the image capturing an area in proximity to the gas detection device at a time when the concentration of the gas is determined to exceed the threshold, annotating the obtained image to overlay a value of the concentration of the gas that exceeds the threshold on the captured area in proximity to the gas detection device, and transmitting the augmented image.

  • Patent number: 10551519
    Abstract: In a first technique one or more tuned circuits (“traps”) are placed in series in the metal detector coil, tuned to the operating frequency of the other sensor. In another technique a single turn coil of wire, or a small number of turns coil, is used as the metal detector coil, in combination with a step up transformer at the coil feed, to increase the EMF of the coil. In a further technique, the metal detector coil is formed in a plane that has regard to the sensing field of the other sensor. In another technique, the feed for the metal detector coil comprises a twisted pair of wires, which are routed along an axis in order to try to minimize and equalize the effect of the metal detector feed on the operation of the other antenna.

  • Publication number: 20200024654
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting a target polynucleotide in a sample comprising: (a) contacting the sample with a guide polynucleotide that binds to a sequence in the target polynucleotide and a polynucleotide-guided effector protein, wherein the guide polynucleotide and polynucleotide-guided effector protein form a complex with any target polynucleotide present in the sample; (b) contacting the sample with a membrane comprising a transmembrane pore; (c) applying a potential to the membrane; and (d) monitoring for the presence or absence of an effect resulting from the interaction of the complex with the transmembrane pore to determine the presence or absence of the complex, thereby detecting the target polynucleotide in the sample.
