The strap-like locking member includes a first end adapted to pass through the receiving sections and a second end adapted to connect together with the first end. | 07-26-2012 |
20130066774 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT - In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, a system and methods are provided for managing working capital by scheduling payments to be paid for accounts payable based on payments received for accounts receivable relative to one or more time intervals while maintaining a predetermined working capital reserve threshold. The systems and methods may include calculating accounts receivable patterns for each customer to determine a confidence level in receiving payments from each customer within the one or more time intervals, generating one or more potential payment schemes for each vendor, and generating a payment schedule for accounts payable for each vendor within the one or more time intervals based on the determined confidence level for each customer and the one or more potential payment schemes for each vendor while maintaining the predetermined working capital reserve threshold. | 03-14-2013 |
20150063123 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ROUTING SELECTION BASED ON ROUTING DISTANCE AND CAPACITY - A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for route selection based on payload delivery capacity and routing distance are described. Network demand information is obtained. The network demand information may include a network graph and information related to an outbound demand of each node of the network graph. A simplified demand graph based on the outbound demand of each node and a distance between each node pair is generated. A plurality of return routes for the simplified network graph is generated and a payload delivery capacity of each of the routes is calculated. An advised return route from the plurality of return routes is generated based in part on the payload delivery capacities of the plurality of return routes. | 03-05-2015 |
20150081077 | PRODUCTION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, systems and methods are provided for managing production resources including scheduling production events for production resources used to manufacture products relative to time intervals while maintaining collaboration among the production resources. The systems and methods may include retrieving information related to each production resource, evaluating each production event for each product to determine a sequence of the production events, and generating potential production scheduling schemes for use of each production resource within the time intervals while maintaining collaboration among the production resources. The systems and methods may include generating a production schedule for the production events within the time intervals based on the potential production scheduling schemes for use of each production resource within the time intervals while maintaining collaboration among the production resources. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081360 | Order/Vehicle Assignment Based on Order Density - Example systems and methods of assigning shipping orders to delivery vehicles are presented. In one example, a delivery region may be segmented into delivery blocks. A shipping order density may be determined for each of the delivery blocks. Adjacent delivery blocks having corresponding shipping order densities may be merged to yield delivery areas. A cost of using each type of available delivery vehicle to transport a delivery job may be determined relative to a cargo capacity of the vehicle type, a delivery distance, and a shipping order density. Each of the delivery areas may be partitioned into delivery jobs based on the cost of using each of the vehicle types. Each of the delivery jobs may be assigned to one of the available delivery vehicles based on minimizing a total cost of using the vehicles to transport the delivery jobs. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081471 | PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION SCHEME - A system may include a similarity measurement processing unit configured to determine a plurality of similar users that are similar to a user based on similarity values including calculating the similarity values for pairs of users based on an importance vector and differences between rated items. The importance vector may include importance values corresponding to a plurality of items, and each importance value may represent a similarity importance of a corresponding item. Each similarity value may represent a level of similarity between the user and another user. Also, the system may include a rating processor configured to estimate a rating value of an unrated item for potential recommendation based on recommendations from the plurality of similar users, and provide a recommendation for the item based on the rating value. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081911 | MIGRATION EVENT SCHEDULING MANAGEMENT - In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, systems and methods are provided for scheduling migration events for server resources in a server cluster relative to a time interval while considering load balance constraints and data transfer constraints of the server cluster. The systems and methods may include generating one or more potential migration scheduling schemes for migration of each server resource to at least one other server resource in the server cluster within the time interval while considering the load balance constraints and the data transfer constraints of the server cluster, and generating a migration event schedule for each migration event within the time interval based on the one or more potential migration scheduling schemes generated for migration of each server resource to at least one other server resource in the server cluster. | 03-19-2015 |
20150088417 | System and Method for Dynamic Path Optimization - Techniques of dynamic path optimization are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving an instruction to determine an optimal path from a source geographical location to a destination geographical location, and determining an optimal path from the source geographical location to the destination geographical location using corresponding historical traffic information for each one of a plurality of sub-paths. The historical traffic information for each sub-path may correspond to an estimated arrival time at a start location for the corresponding sub-path and be used to select sub-paths from the plurality of sub-paths. The selected sub-paths may define the optimal path. In some embodiments, the historical traffic information comprises an indication of traffic flow for the corresponding sub-path. In some embodiments, the indication of traffic flow comprises an average speed of traffic flow. | 03-26-2015 |
20150088907 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING DATABASES HAVING RECORDS WITH MISSING VALUES - The method includes selecting a target record from a dataset, the target record including a missing value, partitioning records of the dataset into at least two groups including co-related data, the partitioned records including records having a value for a same field as the missing value in the target record, predicting the missing value based on a relationship between fields in each of the at least two groups associated with the partitioned records, and setting the missing value of the target record to the predicted value. | 03-26-2015 |
