  • Publication number: 20240081426
    Abstract: A cartridge for an aerosol provision system can include the cartridge and a control unit, and the system can include a vaporizer for vaporizing An aerosolizable material. The cartridge can include an air channel extending from an air inlet for the cartridge to an outlet via an aerosol generation region, and a reservoir for containing aerosolizable material for aerosolizing. The cartridge can further include an aerosolizable material level observation means for allowing a user to observe a level of aerosolizable material inside the reservoir. The aerosolizable-material-level observation means can include at least one contoured surface located on a surface of the cartridge to improve the visibility of the aerosolizable material level inside the reservoir due to the interaction of light with the contoured surface.

  • Patent number: 11640641
    Abstract: A system for account mapping includes functionality for obtaining more than one labeled accounts labeled by more than one accountant; pre-processing more than one labeled accounts using natural language processing, using the more than one pre-processed labeled accounts to train an account mapping model that performs multinomial classification; receiving an account name from an accounting application where the account name includes a text label for an account included in a chart of accounts; generating an account mapping by applying the account mapping model to the account name, where the account mapping includes a type of the account, a sub-type of the account, a code, and a series associated with an accounting form; returning the account mapping to the accounting application through an Application Programming Interface (API); and receiving a corrected account mapping from an accountant and using the corrected account mapping as a new text label to incrementally update the account mapping model.

  • Patent number: 10990988
    Abstract: A method identifies a plurality of product categories by applying a categorization model to product data that includes product names and product descriptions. The product data is obtained from internal sources and external sources. The method creates a knowledge graph for a plurality of business entities from inputs that include the plurality of product categories, published data that includes merchant categorizations, and geographical data. The method generates cohort clusters of similar business entities by applying a clustering algorithm to the knowledge graph. The method uses the cohort clusters to learn a first extrapolation model for predicting inventory. And the method provides access to the first extrapolation model to predict inventory level at a specific point in time. The access is provided via a merchant application that runs on an online merchant platform.

  • Patent number: 10913589
    Abstract: The compression resistant package for wall and ceiling tile includes a first container having a box portion and a cover. An L-shaped corner protection member is provided inside the box portion at each of the tour corners of the box portion. Each of the L-shaped corner protection members have two intersecting legs that respectively extend alongside predetermined portions of the interior wall surfaces of the box portion. The corner protection members have a height that extends upwardly from the floor of the box portion to the height of the walls of the box portion. The corner protection members are formed of a compression resistant material that prevents any overlying containers from imposing pressure on a stack of tiles inside the first container when the stack height of the tiles inside the first container is less than the height of the corner protection members.

The product data is obtained from internal sources and external sources. The method creates a knowledge graph for a plurality of business entities from inputs that include the plurality of product categories, published data that includes merchant categorizations, and geographical data. The method generates cohort clusters of similar business entities by applying a clustering algorithm to the knowledge graph. The method uses the cohort clusters to learn an extrapolation model for predicting inventory. The method makes a prediction as to the inventory level using the extrapolation model for a user of the merchant application. The method determines a confidence level for the user and orders additional inventory for the user without further input, if the confidence level is above a specified threshold.

  • Patent number: 10614130
    Abstract: A method to configure a localizable software solution, which includes receiving a search request to search a requested type of configuration data items, accessing a first configuration data item of the requested type, in response to the search request, scanning contents of the first configuration data item to identify a key within the first configuration data item, accessing, by resolving the key within the first configuration data item and based on the at least one user attribute, a second configuration data item of a second type, generating a custom configuration data item by replacing, within the first configuration data item, the key with the second configuration data item, and returning the custom configuration data item to a configuration engine. The configuration engine localizes the localizable software solution using the custom configuration data item.
