Publication number: 20160092946Abstract: A method for determining a hotel rate can include providing a predetermined number of hotel rooms for a predetermined number of nights, and providing a base rate for each of the predetermined rooms. The predetermined number of rooms is multiplied by the predetermined number of nights to yield a room night product, on which a discount is based. The discount is applied to the base rate to determine the hotel rate. Another method of determining a hotel rate can include selecting at least one hotel room for date(s) occurring within a particular week period (week 1) subject to a first base rate, and additional date(s) occurring within another particular week period (week 2) that is subject to a different base rate. The first and second base rates are added together, and the discount is applied to the sum to determine the hotel rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventor: Shirish A.

Publication number: 20140324527Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure is directed to the use of spatially diverse multiple antenna structures and associated radio transmitters and receivers in a sensor for accurate proximity detection. In a retail environment, a system based on a network of such (smart) sensors can accurately detect presence and location of a shopper's wireless mobile device as the shopper moves along the shopping aisles carrying the wireless mobile device (e.g. smartphone). Based on the location of the shopper and the duration of the shopper stopping in front of a product shelf in an aisle, embodiments can engage the shopper (through the wireless mobile device) in transaction-oriented interactions using the ‘sense, analyze, and connect’ capability of the various embodiments described herein. Such interactions result in increased revenue for the retailers as well as better understanding of the shopping behavior of the retail shoppers. Such understanding can be embodied in improved analytics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: Readme Systems, Inc.Inventors: Raghavendra Kulkarni, Shirish Patel, Santanu Das

Publication number: 20140324614Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for providing a store platform for interacting with shoppers in real time are disclosed. The platform is based on a combination of wireless-enabled sensors located strategically in retail stores and computer servers. The computer may be local, remote, or in a cloud. The sensors are used to ‘scan’ the presence of shoppers in front of products in retail aisles and the computer servers ‘analyze’ the shoppers' profile based on pre-stored and newly-sensed information. The analyzed profiles are used to ‘connect’ with shoppers in real time and push electronic incentives and product information to shoppers' mobile devices. The ‘sensed’ information, in conjunction with the pre-stored data, is also used to update the shoppers' profile and generate analytics related to shopper behavior, brand loyalty, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: README SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Raghavendra Kulkarni, Shirish Patel, Santanu Das

Publication number: 20080218153Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatus for characterizing a power waveform. Some such methods include sampling the power waveform to generate a plurality of samples and, for each of the samples, recursively processing the sample to generate an aggregate signal energy value, processing the sample to generate a harmonic component signal energy value associated with at least one target harmonic frequency, and accumulating the aggregate signal energy value and the component signal energy value with previously generated aggregate signal energy values and component signal energy values to generate an accumulated aggregate signal energy value and an accumulated harmonic component signal energy value. Methods also include characterizing the power waveform responsive to the accumulated aggregate signal energy value and the accumulated harmonic component signal energy value.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Inventors: Pratik Shirish Patel, Frederick Tassitino

Patent number: 5276891Abstract: The arithmetic processor of a digital computer system has means for performing, on its output operands while they are in transit to memory for storage, such manipulations as operand alignment, conversions between packed and zoned format, insertion of signs, and insertion of predetermined characters for edit functions. Two registers are provided, each having a capacity equal to that of a memory word. Each register is provided with segmented input selection means for selecting from among calculation results, residual data retained from operand fetching, signs, and constants. The two registers are OR'd together to produce desired words for storage in the system's memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1992Date of Patent: January 4, 1994Assignee: Bull HN Information Systems Inc.Inventor: Shirish Patel

Patent number: 5023826Abstract: In a digital computer system which may perform arithmetic computations on multi-word variable-length operands, and in which computation is performed right to left (least significant digit first), apparatus detects when all word positions containing significant digits have been computed and terminates computation after computing one additional word position to allow any carry to propagate. Additional apparatus forces zeros for those word positions of an operand that do not contain significant digits, for they may be non-existent positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1990Date of Patent: June 11, 1991Assignee: Bull HN Information Systems Inc.Inventor: Shirish Patel

Patent number: 3950735Abstract: A peripheral subsystem includes a peripheral control unit coupled to a plurality of peripheral devices having different read/write speeds. In response to a command from a central processing unit, the peripheral control unit selects one of the devices designated in the command, and polls the device to obtain an indication of the read/write speed of that device. From this speed indication and a density designation included in the command, the peripheral control unit produces a read/write pulse constant which defines the rate at which data is to be read from or applied to the selected peripheral device. Data is then applied to or read from the selected device at the rate defined by the constant.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1974Date of Patent: April 13, 1976Assignee: Honeywell Information Systems, Inc.Inventor: Shirish Patel
