20140032514 | ASSOCIATION ACCELERATION FOR TRANSACTION DATABASES - An association rule accelerator may be used to access a transaction database storing a plurality of transactions, each transaction including one or more items. The association rule accelerator also may select a sampling rate based on an item frequency of frequent items within the transaction database, relative to a sampled item frequency of sampled items within a corresponding sampled transaction database. An an association rule selector may determine, using the selected sampling rate and corresponding sampled transaction database, frequent item sets within the sampled transactions, and may further determine an association rule relating at least two items of the sampled transactions, based on the frequent item sets. | 01-30-2014 |
20140164170 | CONFIGURABLE MULTI-OBJECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS - The method includes determining at least one business objective on which to base a recommendation list for a first item, associating a configurable target with the business objective, the configurable target being based on a goal for a second item, determining at least one business constraint relating the first item with the second item, the at least one business constraint being based on the business objective and the associated configurable target and generating the recommendation list for the first item based on a list of candidate items and the business constraint. | 06-12-2014 |
20150088571 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TASK ASSIGNMENT IN WORKFLOWS - The method includes determining an assignment completion time distribution based on a task set defining a project, determining a project completion time distribution based on the assignment completion time distribution and the task set, determining a project cost based on assignments of the task set, and generating a list of project task assignments based on the project cost and the project completion time distribution. | 03-26-2015 |
20150120600 | TIME AND LOCATION BASED DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION - Methods, systems, and computer program products for logistics management are described. A root node in a tree representing a home base may be established, the root node comprising a capacity of a corresponding delivery vehicle. One or more unassigned delivery points may be added as a child node of the root node if a path to the corresponding unassigned delivery point is feasible. A next level delivery point may be added as a child node of a node in a tree level | 04-30-2015 |
20160048802 | TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FOR A REGIONAL LOGISTICS NETWORK - According to an aspect, a system includes transportation module configured to generate a transportation plan for packages scheduled to be routed through a regional logistics network such that the transportation plan minimizes transportation costs. The transportation module may include a pickup plan module, a depot-to-depot plan module, and a delivery plan module. The pickup plan module may be configured to compute a pickup transportation plan for packages to be picked-up from the customers in the customer area of an origin depot. The depot-to-depot plan module may be configured to compute a depot-to-depot transportation plan for packages transferred between the origin depot and a destination depot. The delivery plan module may be configured to compute a delivery transportation plan for delivering packages from the destination depot to the customers within the customer area of the destination depot. | 02-18-2016 |

20120197524 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING ELECTRONIC MAP DISPLAYS WITH POINTS-OF-INTEREST BASED ON DENSITY THRESHOLDS - Methods and systems are provided for generating an electronic map display. In one implementation, a method is provided for determining a route distance based on information for a route, comparing the route distance with a distance threshold, defining a search area when the route distance is less than the distance threshold, the search area including boundaries, calculating, using a processor, a points of interest (POI) density of the search area, comparing the POI density with a first density threshold and a second density threshold, adjusting the boundaries of the search area based on a result of comparing the POI density with the first density threshold and the second density threshold, identifying POIs in the adjusted search area, and providing POI information for an electronic map display, the POI information being associated with one or more POIs identified in the adjusted search area. | 08-02-2012 |
20120197714 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING ELECTRONIC MAP DISPLAYS WITH POINTS-OF-INTEREST INFORMATION BASED ON REFERENCE LOCATIONS - Methods and systems are provided for generating an electronic map display. In one implementation, a method is provided for receiving route information associated with a route having an origination point and a destination point, determining a location of a reference point along the route, assigning a spatial identifier to the reference point, searching for points of interest (POIs) in a search area associated with the spatial identifier, ranking, using a processor, the POIs based on distances of POIs from the location of the reference point, and providing POI information for an electronic map display, wherein the POI information is associated with one or more POIs and selected based on the ranking of the POIs. | 08-02-2012 |

20160040333 | PREPARATION METHOD OF JACQUARD SANDWICH MESH FABRIC WITH TWO-COLORED SURFACE - A preparation method of a jacquard sandwich fabric with a two-colored surface is disclosed, employing a jacquard warp knitting machine, comprising the following steps: 1) changing the guide bar configuration; 2) changing a jacquard control signal; 3) re-defining the basic stitch of the jacquard; 5) converting the designed pattern into a graphic diagram, and continuously modifying the pattern through the graphic diagram; 6) after finishing the pattern design, directly exporting a knitting document, importing the document into a machine file, and producing the jacquard sandwich mesh fabric with a two-colored surface. The weft laid-in stitch is added. The weft laid-in stitch can completely hide the yarns, so the two color effect can be obtained. | 02-11-2016 |
20160053416 | PREPARATION METHOD OF A JACQUARD SANDWICH FABRIC WITH SURFACE INLAID WITH YARNS IN REVERSE - A preparation method of a jacquard sandwich fabric with a surface inlaid with yarns in reverse is disclosed, employing double-needle bar sandwich warp knitting machine, comprising the following steps: 1) reversely inlaying yarns; 2) re-defining the basic stitch of the jacquard, designing two basic stitches; 3) designing patterns using color (16) and color (20) according to the actual fabric needs, and drawing; 4) directly raising a pattern through a jacquard guide bar; 5) converting the designed pattern into a graphic diagram, and continuously modifying the pattern through the graphic diagram; 6) after finishing the pattern design, producing the finished fabric product. The fabric only has two basic stitches, and when designing the jacquard pattern, only color (16) and color (20) are needed for drawing, thus reducing half of the basic stitch color and reducing at least half the design steps. The reverse yarn inlaying process and the ground guide bar process are employed to realize reversely inlaid yarns on the surface of the jacquard sandwich fabric. | 02-25-2016 |
