  • Publication number: 20190158603
    Abstract: Embodiments enable communicable integration of a user network of devices and an internet of things (TOT) device. Embodiments identify an TOT device location; calculate a first limit based on a difference between the location of the user and the TOT device location; continuously identify a real-time location of the user via the one or more components of the user network of devices; calculate a total time to user arrival at the TOT device location; calculate a second time limit based on preparation of the TOT device; if the total time to user arrival at the TOT device location is greater than the second time limit, continuously monitor the total time to user arrival at the TOT device location; and when the total time to user arrival at the TOT device location is less than or equal to the second time limit, activate the TOT device for preparation.

  • Publication number: 20190156281
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a communicable integration of a user network of devices and a vendor system. Embodiments receive, at the vendor system from the user network of devices, a request for provisioning of products by a vendor; determine a provisioning location for provisioning of the products by the vendor; continuously identify a real-time location of the user via the one or more components of the user network of devices; continuously calculate a real-time first limit based on the continuously identified current location of the user and the provisioning location; calculate a total time to provision the products comprising a sum of a product preparation time and the real-time first limit; and optimize delivery of the products based on the total time to provision and the real-time location of the user.

  • Patent number: 10193841
    Abstract: Techniques for onboarding users to various product features are described. According to various embodiments, information identifying a set of candidate onboarding content items associated with an email type of an email to be transmitted to a particular member of an online social network service is accessed. Thereafter, a first subset of the candidate onboarding content items is removed from the set, responsive to determining that the particular member has already been onboarded to products associated with the candidate onboarding content items in the first subset. Further, a second subset of the candidate onboarding content items is removed from the set, responsive to determining that the particular member has previously viewed and not interacted with the candidate onboarding content items in the second subset. A specific onboarding content item is then dynamically selected from the remaining set of candidate onboarding content items.

  • Patent number: 10094737
    Abstract: A test apparatus includes a linear motion generator, an airbag, a plate, a platform, an anthropomorphic test device, and a crushable member. The airbag is spaced from the linear motion generator. The plate is moveable by the linear motion generator toward the airbag, and the platform is fixed relative to the plate. The anthropomorphic test device is adjacent the airbag and includes an end coupled to the platform. The crushable member is disposed between the plate and the platform, and the crushable member is deformable by the plate. During operation of the test apparatus, the linear motion generator moves the plate into the crushable member to slow movement of the anthropomorphic device toward the airbag. The crushable member crushes to simulate the forces on the anthropomorphic test device from a vehicle side impact.

  • Patent number: 9976935
    Abstract: An assembly to simulate side impacts to a vehicle includes a rocker, a translatable sled, and one or more displacement members. The rocker is secured to a wall. A b-pillar extends from the rocker and a roof rail is secured to the b-pillar and the wall. The translatable sled is arranged with the wall to impact the b-pillar. The one or more displacement members are secured to the wall and spaced from the rocker to simulate a stiffness of a full vehicle frame during impact between the sled and the b-pillar. A first rocker end constraint may secure a first end of the rocker to the wall. A second rocker end constraint may secure a second end of the rocker to the wall. The constraints may be arranged with the rocker such that the ends of the rocker may pivot relative to the wall.

  • Patent number: 9877579
    Abstract: The cabinet 1 has a base 3 that defines an opening 7, which is sized to receive the tynes of a lifting device, such as a fork lift of the like, for example. This facilitates transportation of the entire cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has nine drawers 8, each having formations, in the form of a pair of slots 10 and 11, which are adapted for engagement with the tynes. Once the tynes have been inserted, the lifting device operator may then raise the tynes slightly, thereby supporting the drawer 8 on the tynes. The lifting device operator can then remove the drawer 8 that is being supported by the tynes from the cabinet 1.
