Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture provide for an injection management platform that allows the verification and management of injection event transactions involving injectors equipped with NFC or RFID chips utilizing a distributed and secure technology such as blockchain. An injection event transaction ledger allows for digital receipts of injection event transactions to be securely verified and updated. In accordance with some embodiments, injectors may comprise blow-fill-seal (BFS) injectors that are pre-filled with a single dose of a fluid agent comprising a vaccine or medicament, allowing for tracking of individual doses of the fluid agent via the injection event transaction ledger.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a system is operable to generate at least two alternative travel packages to offer to a user, each travel package being defined by a distinct value for each of: (i) a first component of the travel package; (ii) a second component of the travel package; (iii) a price of the travel package; (iv) an amount of savings to be realized by purchasing the travel package; and (v) a value of a reward to be provided to the user in exchange for purchasing the travel package. In accordance with one embodiment, one of the offered travel packages is within an initial scope of the user's preferred itinerary and offers a relatively lower value of reward to the user while another of the offered travel packages is outside the initial scope and offers a relatively higher value of reward.

Abstract: A system to determine offers and/or to determine the acceptability of offers based on received information relating to product redemption at a third party. According to one embodiment, the system includes arrangement for a customer to redeem a product from a third party, reception of information relating to a redemption of the product by the customer, reception of an offer to purchase a product for an offer price, determination to accept the offer based on the received information relating to the redemption, determination of an assigned third party at which the offer product may be redeemed based on the received information, and transmission of an acceptance of the offer and an indication of the assigned third party.

Abstract: A speaker system with acoustic event detection, the speaker system including a number of speakers, a head unit including an output circuit structured to output an output signal to the speakers to cause the speakers to output an audible sound, and an acoustic event detection module structured to receive signals from the speakers and to detect an acoustic event based on the signals received from the speakers.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a crossbar unit that is coupled to a plurality of client subsystems. The crossbar unit is configured to transmit data packets between the client subsystems and includes a high-bandwidth channel and a narrow-bandwidth channel. The high-bandwidth channel is used for transmitting large data packets, while the narrow-bandwidth is used for transmitting smaller data packets. The transmission of data packets may be prioritized based on the source and destination clients as well as the type of data being transmitted. Further, the crossbar unit includes a buffer mechanism for buffering data packets received from source clients until those data packets can be received by the destination clients.

Abstract: A conditional purchase offer (CPO) management system is disclosed for receiving CPOs from one or more customers, such as airline passengers, and for evaluating the received CPOs against a number of CPO rules defined by a plurality of sellers, such as airlines, to determine whether any seller is willing to accept a given CPO. A CPO is a binding offer containing one or more conditions submitted by a customer for purchase of an item, such as airline travel, at a customer-defined price. A CPO rule is a set of restrictions defined by a given seller, such as an airline, to define a combination of restrictions for which the seller is willing to accept a predefined price. The CPO rules may be securely stored by one or more servers. The CPO management system permits a seller to correct for forecasting errors, if necessary, or other competitive forces which have produced excess capacity, by providing inventory for sale to CPO customers.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a system and method for supporting high-throughput virtual to physical address translation using compressed TLB cache lines with variable address range coverage. The amount of memory covered by a TLB cache line depends on the page size and page table entry (PTE) compression level. When a TLB miss occurs, a cache line is allocated with an assumed address range that may be larger or smaller than the address range of the PTE data actually returned. Subsequent requests that hit a cache line with a fill pending are queued until the fill completes. When the fill completes, the cache line's address range is set to the address range of the PTE data returned. Queued requests are replayed and any that fall outside the actual address range are reissued, potentially generating additional misses and fills.

Abstract: An online energy audit system poses and collects responses to a list of survey questions regarding a subject house from a remote occupant via a survey UI. Survey responses are stored in an energy-use profile associated with the subject house and are used to populate model inputs to an energy-use software model, from which an energy-efficiency score is derived. To help a remote occupant choose appropriate answers and to facilitate completion of the survey, the survey UI includes question-specific house-feature images associated with some or all questions. Survey questions are designed to be easy for a homeowner to understand, and the survey is kept short. The energy-efficiency score of the subject house is presented to the remote occupant in comparison with comparison energy-use data together with an action message to encourage the remote occupant to improve the energy score of the subject house.

Abstract: An unspecified-time airline ticket representing a purchased seat on a flight to be selected later, by the airlines, for a traveler-specified itinerary (e.g., NY to LA on March 3rd) is disclosed. Various methods and systems for matching an unspecified-time ticket with a flight are also disclosed. An exemplary method includes: (1) making available an unspecified-time ticket; (2) examining a plurality of flights which would fulfill the terms of the unspecified-time ticket to determine which flight to select; and (3) providing notification of the selected flight prior to departure. The disclosed embodiments provide travelers with reduced airfare in return for flight-time flexibility and, in turn, permits airlines to fill seats that would have otherwise gone unbooked.
