Abstract: A system and method for managing virtual queues. A cloud-based queue service manages a plurality of queues hosted by one or more entities. The queue service is in constant communication with the entities providing queue management, queue analysis, and queue recommendations. The queue service is likewise in direct communication with queued persons. Sending periodic updates while also motivating and incentivizing punctuality and minimizing wait times based on predictive analysis. The predictive analysis uses “Big Data” and other available data resources, for which the predictions assist in the balancing of persons across multiple queues for the same event or multiple persons across a sequence of queues for sequential events.

Abstract: A computer generates a profile, where the profile comprises one or more programs to monitor. The computer determines a baseline for each of the one or more programs by collecting one or more values associated with a normal operation for each of the one or more programs. The computer detects an anomaly based on deviation of the one or more values from the normal operation. Based on identifying a playbook for the anomaly, the computer applies the playbook on the program from the one or more programs. The computer organizes chat services based on identifying one or more members associated with the anomaly.

Abstract: Trustable delivery of a product uses a package with a printed label having a unique product ID, an RFID marker applied to the product that contains the ID, and a smart chip inside the product that contains the ID and a digital key. The ID from the RFID marker is compared to the label for initial validation of the package. The smart chip is further interrogated to generate an encoded value of the ID, such as a hash value, using the digital key. The hash value is then used to authenticate the ID, thereby verifying that the product as delivered is the original, untampered product. The product ID and the hash value are recorded in a blockchain ledger associated with the product. In this manner, the packaged product can be validated by any party in the delivery chain, e.g., manufacturer, seller, distributor, delivery service, and final recipient.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for sharing a user interface between users. The system transmits live video simultaneously to a plurality of users. Then, the system determines a subset of the plurality of users, such that the subset includes two users that have a predetermined relationship. Then, during playback of the video, the system detects an object in a frame of the video corresponding to preferences of the first user. In response, the system determines whether the second user is researching information related to the object during playback of the video. If the second user is researching such information, the system streams a mirror image of a user interface with which the second user is performing the researching to the first user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are presented that facilitate the provision of reduced pressure to a tissue site by using a delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge, which separates liquids and gases and provides a flow path for reduced pressure. In one instance, a delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge includes a delivery manifold for delivering reduced pressure to a treatment manifold at the tissue site and an absorbent layer proximate the delivery manifold adapted to receive and absorb liquids. The delivery manifold and the absorbent layer are encapsulated in an encapsulating pouch. A first aperture is formed proximate a first longitudinal end of the delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge for fluidly communicating reduced pressure to the delivery manifold from a reduced-pressure source, and a second aperture is formed on a patient-facing side of the delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge. Reduced pressure is transferred to the tissue site via the second aperture. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed.
