Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for the aggregation, analysis, display and monetization of pricing data for commodities in general, and which may be particularly useful applied to vehicles are disclosed. Specifically, in certain embodiments, historical transaction data associated with a particular vehicle configuration may be obtained and processed to determine pricing data associated with the vehicle configuration. The historical transaction data or determined pricing data may then be presented in an intuitive manner.

Abstract: An illustrative computing device may include a processor and a non-transitory memory device for storing a data structure capable of being compressed, where the data structure includes a plurality of data elements and each of the plurality of data elements includes a date field and a quantity field. The computing device may process instructions to arrange the plurality of data elements in a consecutive series in date order based on a value stored in the date field of each data element, determine whether a gap appears in the consecutive series of data elements based on a value stored in the quantity field of each element, remove the determined gaps in each of the data elements, and repeat the determining and removing steps until a predetermined criterion has been reached.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system and method for distributed data storage and delivery using blockchain. For example, a file can be received from a participant and split into constituent files. A hash value for the received file and each of the constituent files can be generated, and the constituent files can be encrypted using one or more predetermined or user selected encryption keys. The encrypted files can be stored in at least one storage location. Upon receiving a file retrieval request, each file of the plurality of encrypted files can be retrieved and decrypted using the one or more predetermined or user selected encryption keys. A hash value for each decrypted file can be generated and compared to hash values for the corresponding files of the plurality of constituent files, or a hash value for the recombined constituent files can be generated and compared to the hash value for the original file. Other aspects also are described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the innovation relate to a vehicle trailer, comprising a base having a set of base panels, each base panel of the set of base panels hingedly connected to an adjacent base panel of the set of base panels, the base configured to be coupled to a vehicle; and a trailer positioning assembly configured to be coupled to the vehicle and coupled to at least one base panel of the set of base panels, the trailer positioning assembly configured to position the base between a first, expanded position relative to the vehicle, and a second, compacted position relative to the vehicle while the vehicle trailer is coupled to the vehicle.

Abstract: A chemical resistant elastomeric cap that can be secured to the head of a pump type liquid dispenser with a delivery nozzle that can be used to seal off the dispenser nozzle to prevent fluid dripping from the end of the nozzle and to prevent air from reaching the end of the nozzle to dry fluid in the nozzle outlet orifice and/or the nozzle tip. The cap is one piece and has an attachment ring of elastomeric material than can to fitted around the dispenser head to retain the cap with the dispenser and the attach bottle whether the cap is fitted over the nozzle or free from the nozzle.

Abstract: Techniques for augmenting electronic health records systems by integrating third-party applets via a web browser extension are described. The web browser extension executes in the context of web pages provided by an electronic health records (“EHR”) management system. The extension obtains patient (and other) data from the underlying web page. Data is obtained at least in part by accessing the Document Object Model (DOM) that represents the current web page provided by the EHR system. The obtained data is then provided by the extension to one or more third-party applets, which provide extended functionality relevant to a given medical practice. For example, one applet may provide remote patient monitoring. Another example applet may provide predictive diagnostics, warnings, or the like. The described techniques extend and integrate third-party functionality via applets without asking or forcing the user to context switch out of their EHR every time they desire to access external functionality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a system, a computer program product and a service for providing up-to-date and verified information of a label product-specific sustainability indicator.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of a vehicle including one or more image sensors in a manufacturing environment includes determining, when a key cycle transition condition of the vehicle and a vehicle gear transition condition of the vehicle are satisfied, a location parameter of the vehicle based on an image including a location tag and a previous image obtained from the one or more image sensors. The method includes determining a vehicle time period based on the image and the previous image. The method includes validating a manufacturing routine of the vehicle when the location parameter satisfies a location condition and the vehicle time period satisfies a time condition.

Abstract: An anchor-packer assembly includes a packer having a slips assembly and a seal. The slips assembly and the seal are radially expandable so as to engage a surrounding tubular. The assembly also includes an anchor coupled to the packer. The anchor includes a slips assembly and is configured to transmit a first torque and a first axial force to the packer, to set the packer. The anchor is configured to be actuated from an anchor running position in which the slips assembly thereof is retracted, to an anchor set position, in which the slips assembly thereof is expanded radially outward, in response to a second torque and a second axial force, and the anchor in the anchor set position is configured to prevent an uphole-directed force on the packer from releasing the slips assembly of the packer from engagement with the surrounding tubular.

Abstract: A system for conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes a web server for receiving bid data for one or more users for basic generation service products, an application server host application software, which processes the one or more bids according to at least one auction rule, tracks the auction, monitors the auction, and/or determines when to end the auction, and a database server, which stores auction data. A method of conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes the repeating steps of receiving bids indicating desired tranche units of basic generation service products, calculating next round prices for each product, and sending round results to bidders.

Abstract: Vessel transfer systems are provide herein. The systems include bogies, including a pivoting bogie and a rack and pinion bogie, as well as associated cradles, carriages, and power and control units. The pivoting bogie includes a first side frame, a second side frame, at least one wheel coupled with each of the first and second side frames, and a lift member coupled with each of the first and second side frames. The lift member is pivotably coupled to the first side frame. The rack and pinion bogie includes a frame and pinion gears coupled with the frame. The pinion gears can be selectively coupled with a gear rack, such as at a shipyard. Also provided herein are methods of use of one or both of the bogies and associated equipment, such as for moving vessels within a shipyard.
