  • Patent number: 11963069
    Abstract: A rugged, ergonomic integrated telecommunications handset includes an electronic controller that interoperates and controls the universal remote control (URC), which connects to multiple radios simultaneously. The controller downloads options which are implemented by the controller. The handset has an ability to vibrate in a silent mode, and has a memory capacity, as well as GPS capacity. Ergonomically, the handset has a pair of side arrays of protruding ribs, which enhance gripping, preventing the handset from falling out of the user's hands, even if the user has gloves on in inclement weather conditions in the field. While compatible with the latest radio system software defined dual net and dual channel radio equipment, the handset is also backward compatible with single radios or with two or more separate radios, and may communicate using Bluetooth.

  • Publication number: 20240119452
    Abstract: There is disclosed a platform for providing an idle partition of a material extraction claim of a producer to multiple investors. The producer may operate according to differentiating practices with respect to conventional mines. This differentiation may be certifiable through third party metadata. The partition may be scheduled for future production on a material extraction date. The platform may include a transaction processor for processing transactions, a distributed ledger network (DLN) comprising multiple computational nodes connected to the transaction processor, and a producer ledger identically storing the transactions on all of the nodes. At least one digital material unit may be assigned to an investor in exchange for purchasing the future production of the idle partition. The platform may be configured to mint digital material units for trading among the multiple investors. Trading thereof may be allowed until the material extraction date. The third party metadata may include ESG certification.

  • Patent number: 11922188
    Abstract: A method of providing a workspace graphical user interface (GUI) for a user of a cloud-based content management platform includes providing the workspace GUI for the user via the cloud-based content management platform. The workspace GUI presents visual representations of documents stored on the user's cloud storage of the cloud-based content management platform and visual representations of workspaces created by the user. Each workspace includes a set of documents previously added to a respective workspace by the user and stored on the user's cloud storage. The method further includes receiving, via the workspace GUI, a user input with respect to a corresponding document stored on the user's cloud storage. The user input indicates a request to add the corresponding document to a particular workspace.

  • Patent number: 11836785
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining additional vehicle data for a vehicle based on a vehicle identifier, such as a vehicle identification number (VIN). Based on the VIN, manufacturer codes, model codes, and other additional manufacturer information can be determined. The manufacturer codes and/or model codes can be used in determining a list of options on the vehicle. This information can be used by a variety of systems in determining more accurate vehicle specifications to yield more accurate vehicle evaluations based at least in part on the list options.

  • Patent number: 11803696
    Abstract: An online document system maintains a document comprising document content. Users can edit document of the online document system by in the form of operations (which represent desired changes to document content). Instead of directly applying the received operations to the document content, the online document system consolidates operations into a tracked change object based on a common intent of the operations. To render the document content (with tracked change object) the online document system applies the set of operations to the document content and generates a tracked change indication to highlight content changed by the set of operations.

  • Publication number: 20230168234
    Abstract: A characteristic of edible oil may be evaluated using a spectrometer. For example, optical reflectance data may be obtained from edible oil in situ in a frying apparatus housing the edible oil, the reflectance data corresponding to a specified range of infra-red wavelengths. A model profile corresponding to the characteristic being assessed may be obtained, such as from a repository housing a secured library of such profiles. The model profile may define a regression vector for use in transforming the reflectance data to generate a value corresponding to the characteristic being assessed. A criterion may be applied to the value to establish a simplified representation of the characteristic for presentation to a user for assessment of oil quality.
