  • Patent number: 11131966
    Abstract: A timepiece includes at least one time-of-day hand rotatable relative to a first dial and a first pair of temporal calendar mechanical elements independently rotatable relative to each other, and relative to the at least one time-of-day hand. Controlled rotation of the respective temporal calendar mechanical elements is synchronizable relative to temporal calendar information on an external device.

  • Publication number: 20210080262
    Abstract: A self-seating system is described. The self-seating system includes a guest interface for communicating with an arriving guest information relating to a seating assignment and a processing device communicating with the guest interface. The self-seating system also includes more than one directional display providing guidance to the guest as to the location of their seating assignment. The directional displays is selectively activated and deactivated through communication and signaling by the processing device. The self-seating system further includes a seating sensor communicating with the processing device as to when a guest is seated at a particular location.

  • Publication number: 20200356910
    Abstract: A table management system is described. The table management system includes a host display device for displaying table placements within a room. The host display device includes more than one staff identifier device coupled to staff personnel and more than one table sensor including a communication device. The table management system also includes a server running a table management system algorithm and an aggregator device in communication with the server and in communication with the more than one table sensor. The aggregator device receives presence information and staff information from the more than one table sensor and communicating that information to the server. The server runs a software algorithm for managing table assignments and communicates table assignment information to the host display device.

  • Patent number: 8901476
    Abstract: Methods and systems may include a motion sensor and logic to sample an output signal of the motion sensor. The logic can also be configured to track an amount of time the motion sensor is triggered based on the output signal, and transmit the amount of time over a wireless link on a periodic basis.
