Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for establishing connections between entities for collaboration and potential co-innovation. In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a search technique including an entity defined search model. A verified user may upload information into a search model to influence search results. Searching involves finding information about entities that may be good matches for potential collaboration. Searches may be performed iteratively to populate categories of information about potential target entities to determine whether a connection to such target entities may be made to pursue collaborative activities.

Abstract: Systems and methods include determination of a location of each of a plurality of movable service hubs, generation of a first map depicting the determined locations of each of the hubs, association of a first service with a first location of the depicted locations, wherein the first service is provided to a first hub located at the first location based on the first map, determination that one or more of the hubs has moved more than a threshold distance, determination of a second location of each of the hubs and generate a second map depicting the determined second locations of each of the hubs, and association of a second service with a third location of the depicted second locations, wherein the second service is provided to a second hub located at the third location based on the second map.

Abstract: Embodiments implement decentralized digitalization of physical objects. A digitalization engine in the cloud, receives two dimensional (2D) image data of a physical object (e.g., pizza slice) located at a first remote location (e.g., restaurant). A local scanning rig in conjunction with an image capture device (e.g., mobile phone), creates an image file comprising the 2D image, depth information, and an identifier. The digitalization engine receives the 2D image file, stores it, and forwards the 2D image file to an image processing resource also remote from the digitalization engine. The digitalization engine then receives from the image processing resource, a three dimensional model file (e.g., created by photogrammetry) of the 2D images. The digitalization engine communicates the 3D model file for consumption (e.g., incorporation of the 3D pizza slice into a virtual menu).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for mobile payment handover for self-service terminals. An embodiment operates by generating handover data configured to instruct a user device to settle an amount due. The embodiment further operates by obtaining an electronic confirmation that the amount due has been settled. Subsequently, the embodiment operates by determining that the amount due has been settled responsive to the electronic confirmation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor-driven handheld tool for drilling and/or screwdriving, having a housing in which a motor drive system having a rotatably mounted drive shaft connected thereto is provided, and on which a turret head, which is equipped at least with a drivable first coupling head having a receptacle for a screwdriving tool and with a second coupling head having a receptacle for a drilling tool, is arranged by means of a rotary bearing; the coupling heads being capable of being pivoted alternatively both into a driven working position and into a non-driven parked position; a shiftable gearbox having at least a first gear ratio having a lower rotation speed and higher torque, and a second gear ratio having a higher rotation speed and lower torque, being provided.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for using a smart shipping to track one or more products contained therein. An embodiment operates by a transporting unit comprising a microcontroller, a transceiver, and a reliever, each of which is in communication with each other. The microcontroller is also in communication with a server external to the transporting unit. The transceiver is configured to o detect a transmitter attached to a product when the product is inside of the transporting unit. The receiver is configured to receive identifying information and a geographical location pertaining to the product. The microcontroller is then configured to send a message containing the identifying information and the geographical location pertaining to the product to the server.

Abstract: An electric grill lighter has an electrically operated heating element that is bringable into contact with charcoal, and has a grip region for handling by a user. The grill lighter is usable without a line power connection and comprises a fan, an electric motor driving the fan, and an internal power supply for the heating element and the electric motor. A nozzle delivers air from the fan that emerges at the tip of the nozzle. The heating element is translationally displaceable such that it is displaceable between an idle position in which the heating element is inside the nozzle, and a contact position in which at least a sub-region of the heating element projects out of the tip of the nozzle and is bringable into contact with the charcoal.

Abstract: A two-terminal motor can be connected to a two-line voltage supply network utilizing a controller in which a control element is in series with the current-measuring component and both are connected to a microcontroller.
