  • Patent number: 11684090
    Abstract: Features relating to a laser etching and/or tag writing machine are provided. The machine may include a tray assembly including a tray and a nest. The tray may hold an array of vaporizer cartridges. The tray may allow for a laser-etching operation to be performed by the machine on at least one or two sides of the vaporizer cartridges held by the tray. The tray may allow for the array of vaporizer cartridges to be rotated at the same time between laser etching operations. The tray may additionally and/or alternatively allow for the machine, such as via an antenna, to write data to an NFC tag of a corresponding vaporizer cartridge before, during, and/or after each laser etching operation.

  • Patent number: 11087267
    Abstract: A modular vehicle system includes a plurality of vehicle modules with at least one autonomous vehicle module. A request from a user located at a user location specifies a plurality of the vehicle modules. The user location is specified, and a module location is determined for each of the specified vehicle modules. Based on the request, the specified modules are retrieved from the module locations, and assembled into a configured vehicle. The configured vehicle is located at a dispatch location. The configured vehicle is then dispatched from the dispatch location to the user location.

  • Publication number: 20160098939
    Abstract: An online test platform facilitates representing a test taker with an interactive test taker icon. The platform may include administrator interfaces, test proctor interfaces, and test taker interfaces to allow each participant to view, navigate, and interact with aspects of the online test platform that are intended to meet their needs. The test platform allows representation of test takers via an interactive test taker icon. An icon represents the test taker on a display available to a teacher or proctor to monitor the status of the test taker while an online test is being administered. The display and the test taker icon may be used to represent a status of the test taker and may also be used to update the test taker status. In one example, the status of the test taker may be updated by remote polling of the test taker's station via a remote server.
