Described herein are systems, methods, and computer readable media for performing data conversion on sensor data to obtain modified sensor data that is formatted/structured appropriately for downstream processes that rely on the sensor data as input. The sensor data can include point cloud data captured by a LiDAR, for example. A grid structure and corresponding grid characteristics can be determined and the sensor data can be converted to grid-based sensor data by associating the grid structure and its characteristics with the sensor data. Generating the grid-based sensor data can include reformatting the point cloud data to superimpose the grid structure and its grid characteristics onto the point cloud data. Various downstream processing that cannot feasibly be performed on the raw sensor data can then be performed efficiently on the modified grid-based sensor data by virtue of the grid structure imbuing the sensor data with spatial proximity information.

In various embodiments, an RFID Antenna/Tag Location Configuration device (RLC) may facilitate placement of one or more RFID antennas in a physical space. The RLC may collect RFID data from tags determine which of the RFID antennas need to be relocated. The RLC may determine, based on collected RFID data, whether each antenna is a dominant antenna and/or has a substantial read rate. If an antenna is not dominant and/or does not exhibit a substantial read-rate, the RLC ma indicate that the antenna should be relocated. The RLC may also be configured to filter collected RFID data prior to using the data for determination of antennas. The RLC may also determine, using the RFID antennas, a physical location of RFID tags in the physical space using detected signal strength for RFID tags. Additional embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

RFID antenna re-location and/or RFID location

Apparatus and method to facilitate determination of item locations are disclosed herein. One or more storage medium to store a plurality of initial tag to item holder mappings that define associations between select ones of a plurality of tags associated with items to select ones of a plurality of item holders that hold the items; one or more processors; and read rate and match modules to be executed by the one or more processors may be provided. The read rate module is to generate a current detection rate by one or more antennas for each tag identified in a plurality of filtered current tag to antenna mappings. The match module is to determine at least one item holder at which each respective tag identified in the plurality of filtered current tag to antenna mappings is most likely to be currently located to provide a location of the item.

This disclosure is directed to a system for optimizing storage area arrangement. A system control device may manage location control devices in various locations. Each location may comprise storage areas accessible to trackable targets. At least a portion of the storage areas may be arranged in parallel to form aisles that may be monitored by aisle monitoring equipment. The monitoring equipment may comprise at least two sensing devices capable of capturing data such as, for example, a count of trackable objects accessing an aisle or a storage area, time spent within the aisle or proximate to a storage area, characteristics of the trackable object (e.g., gender, age, etc.), etc. The captured data may then be analyzed by the system control device to determine whether a change in arrangement is necessary. A change in arrangement may help to alleviate bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of paths taken through the aisles/storage areas, etc.

A method of provisioning resources, which includes hosting at least one resource at a first site. A secure connection is established between the first site and a second site, and a listing of available resources is exported to the second site. The second site publishes the listing of available resources to at least one client and at least one resource from the first site to second site is provisioned by providing the at least one client with an IP address of the at least one resource.

A method of application level content routing using a (Dynamic VPN) dual-proxy mechanism that provides a client access to resources on a remote network without exposing each other's actual IP addresses and network topologies. The method includes providing a client a list of available resources on a remote network; initiating a request by the client for at least one resource from the list of available resources hosted on the remote network as though the at least one resource is local to the client; routing the request to the at least remote resource through a secure connection between the client and the remote network; responding to the request by the at least remote resource as though the request is initiated locally on the remote network; and routing the response from the remote network back to the client through the secure connection.

A method of load distribution for a cluster of two or more nodes. The method comprises receiving an initial request packet on a network device having a virtual IP address; forwarding the request packet from the network device to a cluster of at least two nodes, wherein each of the at least two nodes has an internal dispatcher module and an unique and non-conflicting virtual IP address; establishing one of the at least two nodes as a priority dispatcher or dispatcher endpoint, wherein if any one node fails, the virtual IP address of the one node which is no longer active falls back to another node within the cluster based on cluster priorities; dispatching the request packet to one of the nodes associated with the cluster; and forwarding the request from one of the nodes to a switching device.

A configuration memory space is scanned to locate an identification register whose value matches a predetermined value. The identification register identifies the location of a structure within the configuration space. The location of the beginning of the structure is used along with a predetermined (known) offset to determine the address of a desired configuration register.
