Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and computer-implemented methods are disclosed for equipment use tracking and availability prediction. A monitor module may electronically monitor use of equipment by a plurality of users at one or more locations, by obtaining information about equipment use from sensing equipment that identifies users and times of use for the equipment. A profile module may store a plurality of user profiles based on the information about equipment use. User profiles may include information about the users indicating equipment used and time of use. A prediction module may send a recommendation indicating predicted equipment availability to a user based on current information about equipment use and on the user profiles.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented-method of operating a computing device. The computer-implemented method includes using a local touch-activated sensor of the computing device to receive an input signal, wherein the input signal has been generated at a remote touch-activated sensor based on capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and a human, passed to the human using the capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and the human, passed through the human, and transmitted from the human to the local touch-activated sensor of the computing device using a capacitive coupling between the human and the local touch-activated sensor. Functionality of the computing device is limited based at least in part on analyzing, using the computing device, at least one characteristic of the input signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes one or more steerable wheels, a stabilizer member, and an A-Frame, where the A-Frame encloses a plurality of components for mechanically coupling the one or more steerable wheels to the stabilizer member. The stabilizer member is extendable out of at least one side of the pallet jack based at least on an angle of rotation of the one or more steerable wheels. A method for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes receiving a steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of a pallet jack from an angular position sensor. The method includes activating an electric motor for extending a stabilizer member of the pallet jack, where a distance of extension of the stabilizer member is based on the steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of the pallet jack

Abstract: Fabrication of a circuit board is facilitated by automatically determining an optimized power plane shape for a power plane of the circuit board, including ascertaining for the power plane a source location(s) and a sink location(s), where the source supplies power to the sink across the power plane. A center of current density is determined for the power plane shape, and a respective power plane sub-shape is incrementally generated between the center of current density and each source and sink location to, in part, supply a desired operational voltage from the source location(s) to the sink location(s) across the power plane. The respective power plane sub-shapes are combined into the optimized power plane shape. Further, the process includes initiating fabricating of the circuit board using, at least in part, the optimized power plane shape to provide the power plane shape within the circuit board.

Abstract: A system for protection from potentially hazardous personal devices includes a passenger interaction console co-located proximate to a passenger seat of a vehicle and usable by a user seated at the passenger seat, an isolation chamber configured to store a potentially hazardous personal device, an access control module configured to confirm that the user is authorized to use the potentially hazardous personal device and enable the user to access the potentially hazardous personal device in response to confirming that the user is authorized to use the potentially hazardous personal device. A corresponding method includes determining a passenger seat location for a user, accessing seat assignment information for the user, confirming that user is assigned to the passenger seat location, and enabling the user to access a potentially hazardous device stored within an isolation chamber corresponding to the passenger seat.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include tracking actions performed by a via a user device, and detecting that the user has made reservations for at least a subset of a first vacation at a first vacation location. Based at least in part on the tracking and detecting, attractions and events related to the first vacation location are extracted. Conditions at the first vacation location and at the extracted attractions and events are monitored. The user is notified of any conditions that may negatively impact the first vacation. In response to a request from the user, an alternative vacation is offered to the user with attractions and events that are similar to the extracted attractions and events. The alternate vacation is at an alternate vacation location different than the first vacation location.

Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for recommending at least one author of a plurality of authors to a user based on a learned lexicon of the user. First communication content pertaining to a user is obtained. Second communication content pertaining to an author is obtained. A lexicon of the user is learned from the first communication content to identify a set of words known to the user. High frequency words are identified from the second communication content of the author, the high frequency words being one or more words having an occurrence frequency in the second communication content that is higher than a first predetermined threshold occurrence frequency level. The author is suggested to the user upon detecting that the high frequency words are not in the lexicon of the user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and image branding system brand an image on a product. The system includes an image controller to determine current values for application to one or more thermoelectric devices. The image controller also determines a current range within which to select the current values based on a material composition of the product. The system also includes an image branding device including the thermoelectric devices. Each of the thermoelectric devices have a corresponding contact surface representing a single pixel. The contact surface of each of the one or more thermoelectric devices is heated based on the respective current value applied.
