  • Patent number: 10623887
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for augmenting ping timing for mobile devices based on contextual analysis of a current data exchange based on historical data exchange data. One example system includes operations such as receiving information related to a current data exchange associated with a particular user profile. The current data exchange can be associated with a particular location, and each user profile can be associated with at least one data exchange pattern, where the data exchange pattern identifies a locational and a data exchange history of the user profile. The current data exchange is compared to a data exchange pattern of the particular user profile. If the current data exchange does not correspond, a request for the user's current location is transmitted to an associated user device. If the current data exchange does correspond, the current data exchange is associated with the particular location.

  • Patent number: 10506374
    Abstract: Systems, software, and computer implemented methods for modifying triggered notifications associated with particular user profiles based on an analysis of contexts specific to the user profile. One example system includes operations for identifying a current user context associated with a user profile and a set of current user contexts associated with at least one user profile different than the particular user profile, the combination representing a relative user context. In response to determining that the relative user context satisfies at least one relative user context-specific contextual rules, the at least one triggered notification for the particular user profile can be modified based on a particular modification associated with the satisfied at least one relative user context-specific contextual rule. In no rules are satisfied, a first signal can be transmitted to the user device associated with the particular user profile with the triggered notification.

  • Patent number: 10397740
    Abstract: The present application involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for modifying triggered notifications associated with particular user profiles based on an analysis of a context of the user profile. One example system performs operations including identifying at least one satisfied notification rule for triggering notifications to a user device associated with at least one particular user profile. For each particular user profile, operations include accessing the particular user profile to identify at least one user-specific contextual rule corresponding to the at least one notification modification rules and identifying a current user context associated with the particular user profile. In response to the current user context satisfying the user-specific contextual rule, the triggered notification for the particular user profile can be modified based on the satisfied user-specific contextual rule.

  • Patent number: 10302594
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining the integrity of a tube is provided. The apparatus includes: a body having an extension mechanism and configured to be inserted into the tube; and a flexible eddy current sensor including a flexible housing coupled to the body via the extension mechanism, and one or more coils disposed in the flexible housing. The flexible housing is selectively extendable via the extension mechanism between a first position and a second position. The one or more coils are farther away from the body when the flexible housing is in the second position than when the flexible housing is in the first position. The one or more coils electrically couple with an interior surface of the tube when the flexible housing is in the second position, and the flexible eddy current sensor is operative to selectively induce electrical currents within the tube via the one or more coils.
