20120039230 | NETWORK APPARATUS ENABLING ROAMING ACROSS SUBNETS - To enable a network apparatus to detect L3 roaming users and to take appropriate forwarding actions, L3 knowledge is introduced inside an L2 bridge forwarding table in the network apparatus. As a client moves from a subnet associated with a first network element to a subnet associated with the network apparatus, a determination is made regarding whether the client is roaming by evaluating a source IP address within a L3 packet header within a first frame received at the network apparatus. If, as a result of the evaluating step, it is determined that the client is roaming, the L2 bridge forwarding table is configured to include a source MAC address of the client together with information identifying a destination interface for use in directing client data traffic back towards the subnet associated with the first network element. | 02-16-2012 |

20110082360 | ONLINE SOURCE RECONSTRUCTION FOR EEG/MEG AND ECG/MCG - In one embodiment, the present invention includes an EEG system comprising of sensors which are utilized to gather an electromagnetic signal from a patient; a signal processing system; and a computer system. The computer system is configured to support multiple threads of execution. The computer system initiates a first thread of execution, a measurement module, where the data is filtered and in some cases averaged. Typically, the data is filtered for a particular latency period. Once the data has been filtered and averaged, the result is given to a second thread of execution, the source reconstruction module, which then proceeds to generate a source reconstruction for the trial. The measurement module then acquires and processes new electromagnetic data from a new trial while the source reconstruction is being performed on the most recent trial. | 04-07-2011 |

20150067151 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GATHERING AND DISPLAYING DATA IN AN ITEM COUNTING PROCESS - Methods and systems for providing information about production lines in a process environments are provided. In one embodiment, a method for providing a notification of a production line status includes receiving a status indication of a production line from a tracker associated with the production line. The method further includes transmitting the status indication from the tracker to a server. Finally, the method includes transmitting the notification from the server to a client device, wherein the notification comprises the status indication. | 03-05-2015 |

20140122137 | IDENTIFIED CUSTOMER REPORTING - Customer data is retrieved that includes customer transactions of a retailer for a first time period and a second time period prior to the first time period. Each customer transaction may be associated with an identified customer. Customer transactions that occurred during the second time period and that are associated with an identified customer that was identified after the second time period are removed from the customer data. For each identified customer, a customer identification weighting factor is determined based on a customer identification likelihood. A total number of customer transactions associated with the identified customer is multiplied by the identification weighting factor to determine a weighted total number of customer transactions for the identified customer. The weighted total number of customer transactions for the identified customer is associated with the identified customer in the customer data. A report including a representation of the customer data is output. | 05-01-2014 |
20140136537 | ANALYSIS OF CLUSTERING SOLUTIONS - A computing system determines incremental values associated with a plurality of clustering solutions. Each of the clustering solutions groups stores of a retailer into clusters in a different way. For each clustering solution in the plurality of clustering solutions, the incremental value associated with the clustering solution indicates a difference between an estimated revenue associated with the clustering solution and revenue associated with a baseline clustering solution. The computing system then determines, based on the incremental values associated with the plurality of clustering solutions, the appropriate number of clusters. The clustering solutions that group the stores into more or fewer clusters than the appropriate number of clusters tend to be associated with incremental values that are the same or lower than the clustering solutions that group the stores into the appropriate number of clusters. | 05-15-2014 |
