Abstract: A system, computer program product and method for real-time location tracking and monitoring of product containers. The system includes a plurality of remote computers in communication with a respective plurality of remote users, a service provider computer, a network interface in communication with the central server and the plurality of remote computers over a shared network, a shared database in communication with the service provider computer, an administrative module configured to onboard the plurality of remote users onto the shared network via the network interface, and a location monitoring module configured to monitor in real-time the status and geographical location of a tote tracker attached to a product container and provide the status and geographical location to at least a portion of the plurality of remote users.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing new pricing solutions to satisfy changes to a purchased ticket are described. A query for new travel includes information needed to determine a set of pricing solutions for issuing a new ticket that satisfies the new travel requirements using some value associated with an original, issued ticket. Valid fares corresponding to replacement itineraries are determined according to a determined reissue method that is valid for the replacement itineraries.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing ticket changes are described. for managing changes to a purchased ticket. A married segment indicator associated with first and second married flight segments of the purchased ticket is located. It is determined whether changes to the purchased ticket affect existing bookings of the first and second married flight segments. Based on the determination, a replacement ticket is constructed to include the first and second married flight segments of the purchased ticket utilizing the existing booked inventory; otherwise, a replacement ticket is constructed using current availability information for the first and second married flight segments from the replacement ticket.

Abstract: A process for improved, lossless data transformation with options for adaptive compression, multidimensional prediction, multi-symbol decoding.

Abstract: A method and computer program are provided for managing man hours of multiple individuals working one or more tasks during a predefined time period that include selectively opening a plurality of tasks of differing task characteristic and task type, selectively associating one or more individuals to one of the open plurality of tasks, selectively unassociating at least one of the associated one or more individuals, maintaining at least one timer for each of the open plurality of tasks, selectively closing one or more of the open plurality of tasks, and selectively outputting an invoice for the closed plurality of tasks based on the bid price of each of the open plurality of tasks. One or more of the individuals are associated and unassociated prior to completion of the open one or more tasks. The at least one timer maintains a total time for all of the associated one or more individuals for each of the open plurality of tasks.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for reconstructing a historical record are described. A query including information associated with a purchased ticket is received. Records that have information that match at least a portion of the information associated with the purchased ticket are determined. Those records having transmission dates preceding an issue date of the purchased ticket are selected and used to reconstruct a record corresponding to the purchased ticket.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for reissuing a purchased ticket are described. A first reissue method that is applicable to a reconstructed ticket is determined to be applicable to a first partial pricing solution selected from a plurality of partial pricing solutions that each includes a fare and an itinerary that partially satisfies a new travel request. The first reissue method is determined to be applicable to a second, different partial pricing solution selected from the plurality of partial pricing solutions. The first partial pricing solution and the second partial pricing solution are combined to form a larger partial pricing solution or a reissued ticket according to specifications of the first reissue method.

Abstract: A virtual reality immersion system provides a head mounted display that contains a video camera and a video display. A plurality of target markers are distributed within a virtual environment room where each target is distinct from all other targets in the virtual environment room and distinct from rotated versions of itself. An automatic calibration program selects pair of targets from an image from the video camera. The selected pairs of targets are identified and the position of each target is calculated relative to the camera and relative to each other. The positions of each target pair are added to a list of relative target transforms. Video signals are processed to calculate the position of targets detected in each frame image using the relative target transforms and the effects of viewing angles are detected and a higher weight is given to targets that are detected at more reliable angles. The invention dynamically streams 3D content to the user through the video display.

Abstract: A 3-D Instant Replay system is disclosed for the capture, adjustment, and generation substantially in real time of complex 3-D or other video effects. A camera array is configured about a desired scene for effect generation. Image information from multiple cameras is sent instantaneously and simultaneously to a capture system. Multiple capture devices may be used together in the capture system to capture video information from a large number of cameras. Once inside each capture device, image data is made available in the memory element of the capture system for generation of realtime effects. A host system, connected via high speed networking elements to the capture system, selects relevant portions of available image data from the capture system (or each capture device) based on preset criteria or user input.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, the inventive system is capable of inserting video images of human being, animals or other living beings or life forms, and any clothing or objects that they bring with them, into a virtual environment. It is possible for others participating in the environment to see that person as they currently look, in real-time, and from any viewpoint. In another aspect of the present invention, the inventive system that was developed is capable of capturing and saving information about a real object or group of interacting objects (i.e., non-life forms). These objects can then be inserted into a virtual environment at a later time. It is possible for participants in the environment to see the (possibly moving) objects from any viewpoint, exactly as they would appear in real life. Since the system is completely modular, multiple objects can be combined to produce a composite scene. The object can be a human being performing some rote action if desired.
