Abstract: A secure, personalized, and locatable container for residential, commercial, industrial, and military use that is capable of interfacing with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for the purpose of sending and receiving mail and parcels. The container is stationary when installed but can be uninstalled and easily transportable to an alternate location for re-installation. The present invention of the container and proprietary communications protocol provides the benefit of touchless, secure, and verifiable parcel service anywhere in the world.

Abstract: Synchronization of effects across multiple devices using local, distributed control, and eliminating the need for central direction of the effects with the associated large bandwidth required. In one embodiment, each device stores data and instructions for creating its own effects. The devices periodically communicate with a host or each other to maintain synchronization, and compensate for any drift. This approach minimizes the use of bandwidth and battery power in the devices.

Abstract: A computer implemented method comprising receiving input from an input device having a plurality of keys, the input corresponding to individual key presses of the plurality of keys. The method further includes tracking the individual key presses over a period of time, determining time-based analytics for each of the individual keys, providing a graphical representation of the plurality of keys, and modifying the graphical representation of each of the plurality of keys based on the time-based analytics. The time-based analytics can include a key press frequency or a key press duration of each key over the period of time. The graphical representation can be a heat map on a display. Alternatively, the heat map can be represented on hardware including LEDs for each individual key on the input device. The method further includes storing the individual key presses over the period of time as a session.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for maintaining building serviceability information for geographic locations. The disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a request for communication services information for a geographic location, wherein a user enters location information specific to the geographic location into a communications service management system. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include receiving medium information about the geographic location from the communications service management system and determining which communications services are currently provided to the geographic location. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include displaying the communications services that are currently provided to the geographic location to the user.

Abstract: A telescoping boom lift apparatus having a first boom mounted about a first substantially fixed horizontal pivot axis in a mobile base for vertically pivotable movement with respect thereto and further having a second boom member carried by, and received in, the first boom member is provided with a link secured between a second substantially fixed horizontal pivot axis on the mobile base and a third horizontal pivot axis on the second boom member whereby, when the first boom is rotated through an increasing included vertical angle, the third pivot axis on the second boom member is moved therewith longitudinally of the first boom member and away from the first horizontal axis thereby reciprocating the second boom member along a portion of the length of the first boom member to cause the distal end of the second boom member to increasingly extend beyond the first boom member.
