Systems and methods which provide tokenization of various shipping data for which shielding is desired are described. Embodiments may facilitate controlled and/or protected usage of shielded shipping data, such as may include personally identifiable information, with tokenization. Shielded shipping data tokens of embodiments are matched with an entity, party, system, permitted usage of corresponding shielded shipping data. A data shielding service system may shield usage of shielded shipping data in accordance with applicable regulations according to applicable rules, and/or the like. Permitted accessors may be relieved of demands of maintaining compliance with the regulations and rules with respect to shielded shipping data in light of their enforcement and compliance being imposed through tokenization of the shielded shipping data.

Tokenization of shielded shipping data

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would determine exemplary projected routes, delivery dates, times and rates for multiple carriers and multiple delivery services/methods. Exemplary embodiments would generate and provide an exemplary interactive graphic comparison mapping of the exemplary projected carrier-specific, delivery-service-specific routes, and associated projected delivery dates, times and rates. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would generate and provide an exemplary interactive graphic mapping of a projected carrier-specific, delivery-service-specific route, and associated projected delivery date, time and rate for a user-selected carrier and delivery service/method. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would then track shipping/mailing progress and delivery status of the item according to carrier-provided shipping/mailing progress and delivery status 'events,' such as, for example, carrier-provided item scanning events.

Visual graphic tracking of item shipment and delivery

In certain embodiments, item relocation may be facilitated via augmented reality cues and location-based confirmation. In some embodiments, in response to a detection of a first pattern in a live video stream obtained at a client device, a first location associated with the client device may be obtained, and an augmented reality presentation of a visual directional cue may be presented on a user interface of the client device such that the visual directional cue is overlaid on the live video stream. The visual directional cue may include visual directions from the first location to a destination location. In response to an indication that the item has been relocated to the destination location, a determination may be made as to whether the client device is within a threshold distance from the destination location. A confirmation may be generated in response to the client device being within the threshold distance.

Augmented reality system for facilitating item relocation via augmented reality cues and location based confirmation

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would project a route and a delivery schedule for relevant mail pieces and would monitor carrier recorded tracking events for those mail pieces to determine whether or not actual tracking events are following the projected route and the projected schedule, and/or whether or not issues that might impact their delivery and/or their delivery schedule, may have arisen along their projected route; such exemplary embodiments would provide an alert to the relevant user(s) and/or other authorized parties and/or relevant carrier(s) and would facilitate user interaction by the relevant user(s) and/or parties to provide intercept and/or rescue and/or confiscation instructions; exemplary embodiments would facilitate automatic interfaces with the relevant carriers and delivery services for the subject mail piece to resolve rescue, item loss, insurance coverage, postage refund, intervention and/or confiscation instructions and issues.

An articulating connector installed between a solid axle and a leaf spring suspension in a vehicle, which provides for lateral angular articulation of the axle about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle without twisting the leaf spring laterally. The result is greater articulation of the axle and elimination of spring binding, thereby providing more freedom of spring travel and a great reduction in interleaf friction in the spring. Shear stresses on the bolts securing the spring eyes to the vehicle chassis or frame are also greatly reduced, thereby greatly increasing the life of these components. The present connector is directed to use in vehicles having either rear or front solid axle systems, or both, suspended by generally longitudinally oriented leaf springs. The present connector may be applied to either overslung or underslung axles, and provides greater freedom of suspension articulation than was achievable in the past with such solid axle and leaf spring suspension systems. The result is greater vehicle versatility for off road use for off road enthusiasts and hobbyists, contractors, military vehicles, and any others who have occasion to operate vehicles equipped with solid axle and leaf spring type suspensions over extremely rough and uneven terrain.
