Abstract: A method and system optimizing source selection of an online order with the lowest fulfillment cost by considering multiple types of parameters, including shipping costs, backlog costs and markdown savings of the order. The method includes obtaining an order from the order retrieval subsystem of the OMS, selecting the candidate sources, and retrieving data from retailers or shipping companies of each selected candidate sources. The system then calculates the costs and savings parameters of the candidate sources from the retrieved data. The system identifies all possible candidate sourcing selections of the order and calculates the total fulfillment cost of each sourcing selection of the order by adding the shipping costs with the backlog costs, and subtracting the markdown savings of all candidate sources in each sourcing selection. The system identifies the optimized sourcing selection of the order with the lowest fulfillment cost and renders the selection to the OMS.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing an order in an Omni-channel order fulfillment system is disclosed. A stock-keeping unit (SKU) node level cost is predicted for a plurality of SKUs. The order is received containing one or more SKUs. A candidate list of fulfillment nodes is determined for fulfilling each of the one or more SKUs in the order using the predicted SKU node level cost and a fulfillment node-destination shipping distance. One or more fulfillment nodes are selected from the candidate list, and the order is fulfilled using the selected one or more fulfillment nodes.

The shield forms an opening communicating with the glue groove, through which the liquid type glue is injected into the glue groove and solidified therein.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for controlling the internal air-quality of a vehicle. Responsive to determining that a speed of a vehicle fails to be above the predetermined low-speed threshold, a determination is made as to whether an internal air-quality from an internal air-quality sensor is better than the external air-quality from an external air-quality sensor. Responsive to the internal air-quality being better than the external air-quality, a ventilation control mechanism is signaled to utilize a recirculating-air mode, wherein the ventilation control mechanism either stays in an already initiated recirculation-air mode or switches to the recirculating-air mode. Responsive to the internal air-quality being worse than the external air-quality, the ventilation control mechanism is signaled to utilize a fresh-air mode, wherein the ventilation control mechanism either stays in an already initiated fresh-air mode or switches to the fresh-air mode.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for retrieving trajectory data from huge datasets. In the method, there is received, at a processor device, a user query including a request for displaying trajectory data at a user device. From the user query, a query type and a current map visualization scale setting (mapscale) for visualizing the trajectory data on the user device display is determined. Then, responsive to a user query type and the determined mapscale setting, a corresponding reference level is selected. Based on the selected reference level, there is accessed from a memory storage device a data set of compressed trajectory data. This compressed trajectory data set is communicated to the user device, for presentation on the user device display. In one aspect, the system and method is adaptive, enabling storage and retrieval of trajectory data according to various degrees of visualization or granularity.

Abstract: This provides a method, device, and system for sharing image data. When detecting an image being rendered on an image-rendering interface of its rendering application, a first terminal can obtain image information of the image being rendered and location information associated with the image information. The first terminal can transmit a first image data to a server, the first image data including the image information and location information. The server can transmit the first image data to a second terminal which shares images with the first terminal, the second terminal also equipped with an image rendering application. The second terminal can receive the first image data and render an image based on the image information at a location corresponding to the location data on an interface of its image-rendering application. This can facilitate image data sharing among multiple terminals.

Abstract: Provided is a lithium ion battery including a battery can, a battery core received in the battery can, electrolyte filled in the battery can, and a battery cover assembled to the battery can. The battery can or the battery cover is provided with a pressure relief valve, and the pressure relief valve is coupled with a mesh cover defining a number of through holes therein. According to the present invention, when thermal runaway occurs to the lithium ion battery, the pressure relief valve breaks timely. Only gases and electrolyte vapor can pass through the mesh cover. Solid particles cannot pass through the mesh cover. Therefore, ignition of the flammable gases, the electrolyte vapor and the high temperature solid particles in the surrounding air afar from the pressure relief valve is avoided and the safety performance of the lithium ion battery can be improved remarkably.
