  • Publication number: 20250389147
    Abstract: An exemplary closure assembly includes a rail assembly and a door assembly movably mounted to the rail assembly. The door assembly includes a rotary damper having a pinion, and the rail assembly includes a rack member operable to engage the pinion. As the door moves from first position to a second position, the rack member engages the pinion, thereby causing the pinion to rotate in a first rotational direction. The rotary damper resists rotation of the pinion in the first direction, thereby slowing movement of the door toward the second position. The rotary damper may be a one-way damper that does not resist rotation of the pinion in a second rotational direction such that the rotary damper does not resist movement of the door from the second position toward the first position.

  • Publication number: 20250368098
    Abstract: A swivel assembly is provided for moving a vehicle seat in an angular direction. The swivel assembly may include a lower plate, a rotating plate, a gear ring, a motor, and a locking pin assembly. The lower plate may be attached to a vehicle floor. The rotating plate may be attached to the vehicle seat. The gear ring may be fixedly attached to the rotating plate. The motor may be coupled to the gear ring and drive the gear ring to move in the angular direction to cause corresponding movement of the rotating plate and the vehicle seat. The locking pin assembly may include a locking pin that is movable relative to the lower plate between an unlocked position and a locked position. The locking pin may move into and out of engagement with the rotating plate to selectively restrict and allow movement of the rotating plate.

  • Publication number: 20250140403
    Abstract: A trained computer model for generating an aggregated health score for a business user of an online system. The online system obtains a set of health scores for a set of individual employees of a business user of an online system. The online system accesses a computer model of the online system trained to determine an aggregated health score for the business user. The online system applies the computer model to generate, based at least in part on the set of health scores and content of a set of orders placed by the business user, the aggregated health score for the business user. The online system causes a device of the business user to display a user interface with the aggregated health score.

  • Publication number: 20250139686
    Abstract: Different possible candidate routes for efficiently obtaining a set of items at given retailer premises are generated and simulated to estimate degrees of difficulty of the various routes, such as how long they are expected to take. The current conditions can be inferred based on analysis of environment data received from a plurality of devices associated with users shopping for items on the retailer premises, such as location data, camera data, or comments related to the retailer premises. The simulation takes into account current or expected conditions in the environment of the retailer premises, such as obstructions, alternative placements of items, etc. Routes with least degrees of difficulty may be presented to the users shopping for the items so that the users can use the most efficient routes when obtaining the items.

  • Publication number: 20250111329
    Abstract: An online concierge system uses images captured for fulfillment of a first order to affect item information of a second order. When a picker fulfills the first order in a physical warehouse, the picker captures an image of the physical warehouse, for example to capture an image of potential replacement items. The online concierge system detects items in the image along with a location of the item in the physical warehouse based on the image. The detected items and respective locations may then be used to modify a second order, for example to route a picker for the second order to updated or alternate locations of the detected items.

  • Patent number: 12258782
    Abstract: An exemplary lockset includes a mortise case, a magnet assembly mounted in the mortise case, and a manual actuator operable to move the magnet assembly between a coupling position in which a first magnet of the magnet assembly is aligned with a reference point and a decoupling position in which the first magnet is misaligned with the reference point. In certain embodiments, the magnet assembly further includes a second magnet having an opposite polarity as the first magnet, and the second magnet is misaligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the coupling position and is aligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the decoupling position.

  • Publication number: 20250069126
    Abstract: An online system identifies recipes that are most likely to be pertinent to particular users of the system. To do so, the online system uses an association table containing degrees of association between pairs of possible ingredients, identifying degrees of association between the constituent ingredients of various possible recipes and between ingredients from known user personalization data about the user to whom recipes are being recommended. These degrees of association are used to compute a score for each recipe as a whole, with the highest scores indicating the most pertinent recipes for the user in question. The most pertinent recipes, and/or the constituent ingredients of those recipes, are recommended to the user, and the system may additionally aid the user in obtaining the full complement of ingredients for a recommended recipe. The system may also build the association table as a co-occurrence graph of pairs of items that were previously purchased together by users of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240346441
    Abstract: An online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system to continuously monitor conversations between users and shoppers to determine whether a message sent by a sending party can be automatically responded to rather than prompting the receiving party for a manual response. The online system automatically provides a response to the message without the receiving party's manual involvement. In one or more embodiments, the online system can infer whether a question can be intercepted and/or suggests one or more available answers the sender can consider as feedback without a manual response from the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20240320523
    Abstract: An online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system to continuously monitor conversations between requesting users and fulfillment users to determine whether the online system can intervene to automatically respond to a message sent by a sending party, rather than prompting the receiving party for a manual reply. Upon inferring that a message can be automatically responded to, the online system automatically provides a response to the message without the receiving party's manual involvement. The online system can further be augmented to classify and reroute certain requesting user or fulfillment user queries that impact an order's end state by intercepting the conversation on behalf of either party and performing one or more automated actions. If the message is action-oriented, the online system may perform one or more automated actions in response to the message.
