  • Publication number: 20230177592
    Abstract: A seller provides customers with the ability to order items using shipping benefits associated with a separate fulfillment entity, such as an online store, by providing inventory to a designated fulfilment location. When a customer accesses the webpage, identifiers for the customer device and item are used to determine an estimated delivery time the separate fulfillment entity may provide, which may be presented in a widget or other type of element within the webpage. In response to input to the element, the customer may be presented with a prompt for authentication data, and after a successful authentication, the estimated delivery time may be updated based on a location of the authenticated customer. In response to input confirming the transaction, an order for the item is generated by the separate fulfillment entity and the customer may continue navigating the seller website.

  • Publication number: 20230177451
    Abstract: When a user accesses a seller webpage for an item for which expedited shipping is available, data regarding this access is provided to a separate fulfilment service that is able to deliver the item. A control on the webpage, that may be provided to the seller by the fulfilment service, presents an initial estimated delivery time based on the network address of the user’s device and a known location of the item. The user may provide input to the control to access a user account, and a location for the user account may be used to update the estimated delivery time. If the item is purchased, the fulfilment service may determine payment information for the user account and process payment and delivery of the item. If an additional item not fulfilled by the fulfilment service is also purchased, data for this purchase is provided to the seller website for processing.

  • Publication number: 20230044491
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for resolving discrepancies that occur to interrelated computing resources from computing resource drift. Users may describe computing resources in an infrastructure template. However, computing resource drift occurs when “out-of-band” modifications are made to the computing resources and are not reflected in the infrastructure template. To resolve discrepancies between the infrastructure template and the out-of-band modifications to the computing resources, a notification may be output to a user account associated with the computing resources detailing the differences. An updated infrastructure template may be received that resolves the differences, such as by including configuration settings that reflect a current state of the computing resources. The computing resources may then execute a workflow using the updated template, such that the workflow is executed on all of the computing resources in a current state.

  • Patent number: 11534313
    Abstract: A method for pre-operative orthopedic planning includes obtaining only a high-resolution knee-joint scan of a patient, determining hip rotation center and ankle rotation center from anthropometric data based on personal data of the patient, and determining a mechanical axis of the knee joint based on the anthropometric data. The method also includes preparing at least a two-dimensional image model of the knee joint using the knee-joint scan and the determined mechanical axis, and preparing a pre-operative surgical plan based on the image of the knee joint.

  • Patent number: 11494965
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for hand drawing an animation motion path for an object to follow on a graphical user interface (GUI). The motion path may be drawn with a user's finger or drawing device, such as an Apple Pencil®, by selecting a drawing tool (e.g., a freehand tool and/or straight line tool). A new motion path may be added to an existing motion path, such that the new motion path is an extension of the existing motion path. The new motion path may also be added to an end point of an existing motion path, such that the new motion path is a different segment of a motion path and is associated with a new key frame. A motion path segment may be split into additional segments with new key frames, reshaped using editing points, redrawn, and/or deleted from the overall motion path.

  • Publication number: 20220345104
    Abstract: A doubts rotated quart/crystal resonator comprises a cantilever-mounted doubts rotated resonating element having a line of geometrical symmetry running from a supported end to a free end which is not perpendicular to the resonating element's crystallographic/axis. A method of manufacturing the crystal resonator comprises cutting a doubly rotated quartz crystal plate with xI and zI axes defining the plate's plane into one or more resonating elements at a non-zero degrees in-plane rotation angle in relation to the plate's xI axis. The resonator has reduced sensitivity to mechanical acceleration.
