Patent number: 12661622Abstract: Disclosed herein are continuous flow systems having bifurcated fluidic flow mixers. The mixers operate, at least partially, by Dean vortexing. Accordingly, the mixers are referred to as Dean Vortex Bifurcating Mixers (“DVBM”). DVBMs utilize Dean vortexing and bifurcation of the fluidic channels that form the mixers to achieve the goal of optimized microfluidic mixing.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: The University of British ColumbiaInventors: Euan Ramsay, Robert James Taylor, Timothy Leaver, Andre Wild, Kevin Ou, Colin Walsh

Patent number: 12530644Abstract: System and methods for dynamic replenishment in a facility are disclosed. A mobile inventory processing device reads a machine readable tag affixed to a perishable item and transmits an indication of the perishable item to a stock inventory processing device. The stock inventory processing device retrieves a stock inventory value corresponding to the perishable item and a historic daily sales value for the perishable item from a database. The stock inventory processing device determines a restocking value based on whether the historic daily sales value exceeds the stock inventory value. The stock inventory processing device transmits a second indication to the mobile inventory processing device, The second indication correspond to insufficient shelf stock of the perishable item. The mobile inventory processing device receives the second indication and outputs an auditory alert in response to the second indication.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Assignee: WALMART APOLLO, LLCInventors: Robert James Taylor, Leigh Ann Marie Scobey, Matthew D. Alexander, Jeffrey Scott Cruz, Lacrecia Lynn Billings, Joseph Wayne Hendricks

Patent number: 12430620Abstract: A facility readiness inspection system and method are disclosed. Embodiments comprise an asset database comprising inspection task definition for assets. An inspection coordination application program interface (API) can create at least one periodic inspection task list. Each periodic inspection task list can include a number of tasks and assets, chosen based on the total time allotted for completion of the periodic inspection task list and the complexity of the inspection task definitions of each physical asset. Mobile electronic device can be configured to present the periodic inspection task list as a series of discrete tasks and to receive task list response data in response to each discrete task. Response data can be compared to benchmarks and standards, and issues can be escalated to external systems. An analytics engine can automatically produce inspection compliance documentation for each of the physical assets related to the periodic inspection task list.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: September 30, 2025Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Robert James Taylor, Matthew David Alexander, Shawn M.

Patent number: 12423737Abstract: A technique for monitoring objects in a cart is disclosed. A cart is configured to receive an object and includes a plurality of sensors configured to detect a location of the cart and a characteristic of an object in the cart. The cart also includes a docking station that can receive an electronic device and operatively and electrically couple the sensors to the electronic device. A computing system is in communication with the electronic device and configured to access a database containing a stored list generated by the user. The computing can identify the object in the cart based, at least in part, on data received from the plurality of sensors and the location of the cart. The computing system can also determine whether the object in the cart is included on the stored list.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 23, 2025Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Matthew Allen Jones, Aaron James Vasgaard, Nicholaus Adam Jones, Robert James Taylor

Patent number: 12272432Abstract: A method is for providing a uniform resource locator. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a medical data record via an interface, the medical data record being related to a patient; determining the uniform resource locater related to the medical data record via a computation unit, the uniform resource locator including an authorization token based on the medical data record, the medical data record being accessible by following the uniform resource locator; and providing the uniform resource locator with the interface to the patient. By providing a uniform resource locator of an embodiment including an authorization token, access to the medical data record can be granted fast and efficient, e.g. by a patient forwarding the uniform resource locator to another entity (e.g. a physician), while at the same time non-authorized entities cannot access the medical data record due to their lack of the suitable authorization token.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Siemens Healthineers AGInventors: Benedikt Krueger, Robert James Taylor
