  • Patent number: 10915843
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for identifying supply. An example for identifying merchants for fulfilling demand comprises receiving one or more virtual offers and an associated quantity of at least a portion of the one or more virtual offers, wherein the one or more virtual offers are representative of a residual demand for a geographic area, assigning a virtual offer of the one or more of the virtual offers to one or more merchants in an instance in which a supply source of the one or more merchants is identified as able to supply at least a portion of the associated quantity of the virtual offer, and determining a priority score for the one or more merchants, wherein the one or more merchants are rankable based on the priority score.

  • Publication number: 20180206758
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for magnetic induction tomography imaging using a hand held device are provided. More particularly, a magnetic induction tomography imaging system can include a hand held magnetic induction tomography device having a housing and at least one sensing unit. The housing of the hand held device can have a form factor such that the location of a hand holding the housing is separated from the sensing unit when the hand held device is in operation. The hand held magnetic imaging tomography device can include one or more electrical components separated in the housing (e.g., by shielding) from the at least one sensing unit to reduce electromagnetic interference between the at least one sensing unit and the one or more electrical components. A positioning system involving components included internally and/or externally to the hand held device can be used to determine position data for the hand held device.

  • Publication number: 20160374587
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for magnetic induction tomography imaging of specimens, such as human tissue specimens, using a single coil are provided. A plurality of coil property measurements can be obtained using the single coil at a plurality of discrete locations relative to the specimen. The single coil can be designed to be relatively easy to be placed in many different positions/orientations relative to the specimen. A three-dimensional electromagnetic property map, such as a three-dimensional conductivity map or a three-dimensional permittivity map, can be generated from the plurality of coil property measurements obtained using the single coil by accessing a model correlating coil property measurements obtained by the single coil with an electromagnetic property distribution of the specimen.
