  • VEHICLE AUTOMATED UNLOADING
    Publication number: 20210195840
    Abstract: A vehicle automated unloading system may include a fill model and an unloading controller. The fill model is a model of a fill characteristic of a container as a function of variables comprising material unloading times, material unloading rates and material unloading locations. The unloading controller is to (a) determine a current model-based fill characteristic of the container using the dynamic fill model and (b) output control signals to adjust at least one of a material unloading time, a material unloading rate and a material unloading location based upon the current model-based fill characteristic of the container.

  • RECONFIGURABLE SENSOR ARRAY
    Publication number: 20210124950
    Abstract: An object tracking system that includes a sensor that is configured to capture frames of at least a portion of a global plane for a space. The system further includes a position sensor that is configured to output (x,y) coordinates corresponding with the physical location of the sensor within the space. The system is configured to receive an (x,y) coordinate within the space for the sensor from the position sensor. The (x,y) coordinate corresponds with a new physical location of the sensor within the space. The system is further configured to determine translation coefficients for the sensor based on a difference between the (x,y) coordinate and a previous (x,y) coordinate for the sensor. The system is further configured to update a homography associated with the sensor by applying the translation coefficients to the homography and to store the updated homography.

  • Systems and techniques for computer-enabled geo-targeted product reservation for secure and authenticated online reservations
    Patent number: 10970761
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.

  • ENHANCED NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME CONTROL CENTER
    Publication number: 20200401640
    Abstract: A control center includes a display screen for displaying different social media and social media analytics. The control center includes an enhanced notification device that operates independently and remotely from the display screen. A media controller receives a selection of a search term, selection of an analytic, and selection of a trigger event for the analytic. The control center obtains social media from different networks containing the search term and generates the selected analytic from the social media. The media controller activates the enhanced notification device when the trigger event is detected in the analytic. The activated notification device provides a different environmental attribute than the display screen that is more effective in gaining the attention of the control center operators.

  • DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN ANALYTICS VIA HASHTAG DETECTION
    Publication number: 20200273063
    Abstract: An operator enters a name of a company, product, or any other entity into a user interface. A hashtag analytic system then automatically discovers social media campaigns associated with that entity based on hashtag or keyword usage in associated posted messages. The hashtag analytic system may automatically discover the social media accounts for the entity and then scan messages posted on the social media accounts for hashtags. The hashtag analytic system groups together posted messages that include campaign related hashtags and generates analytics for the groups of messages associated with the same campaigns.

  • MULTI-DIMENSIONAL COMMAND CENTER
    Publication number: 20200226526
    Abstract: A command center provides ad-hoc search and navigation through different dimensional topic levels that allow users to better analyze and correlate data. The command center not only generates and displays content and metrics associated with an event, but can also generate and display real-time content and metrics for other topics, products, and/or services related to a currently displayed topic. The command center enables a user to navigate through the different dimensional levels simply by selecting items displayed by a remote control application. The command center also automatically synchronizes the content and metrics for any selected dimension to a same corresponding time period.

  • Christmas tree stand
    Patent number: 10694879
    Abstract: A tree stand for removably supporting a tree includes a base having a water basin. A plurality of spaced apart jaws are biased upwardly and inwardly of an axis of the base to form an expandable clamp. An end of a trunk of the tree forcibly expands the jaws against their bias as the trunk is inserted into the water basin. The jaws of the clamp engage an outer surface of the trunk as they are biased towards their closed position to hold the tree vertically upright and stable.
