A method including obtaining information about a trailer that has been partially loaded with preloaded stacks in a manner that deviates from an original load design. The trailer is loaded with stacks of pallets including (i) the preloaded stacks that have already been loaded in the trailer and (ii) unloaded stacks that have not yet been loaded into the trailer. The method also can include determining positions of empty floor spots remaining in the trailer. The method additionally can include determining a first portion of an incremental load design for the unloaded stacks using a gap-filling pattern behind an uneven rear edge of the preloaded stacks in the trailer. The method further can include determining a second portion of the incremental load design. The method additionally can include updating the incremental load design based on an overall load design of the trailer using a first simulated annealing using a first neighborhood defined by separate rows within a delivery group that does not include the preloaded stacks. The method further can include outputting at least the incremental load design, as updated, to cause the unloaded stacks to be loaded in the trailer according to the incremental load design while the preloaded stacks remain in the trailer. The incremental load design specifies a respective floor spot assignment for each of the unloaded stacks. Other embodiments are described.

An object folding tool is leveraged in a digital medium environment. A two-dimensional (2D) representation of an unfolded object is obtained, and visual cues indicating folds for transforming the unfolded object into a folded object are detected. Based on the detected visual cues, a shape of the folded object is determined, and a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the folded object having the determined shape is generated. In one or more implementations, the 2D representation of the unfolded object and the 3D representation of the folded object are displayed concurrently on a display device.

A system for enabling touch and feel over the internet provides a three-dimensional representation of a good being sold, that three-dimensional representation being viewable from a number of different directions. In one embodiment, the good being sold is in a package and the package is displayed from the number of different directions. Another embodiment has the good being a book, and the inside and outside covers of the book are displayed and specified pages of the book can be displayed. The user can read from either the label or the covers just like as if the were actually handling the good.

A temperature change of a device on an integrated circuit chip due to self-heating and thermal coupling with other device(s) is modeled considering inefficient heat removal from the backside of the chip. To perform such modeling, ratios of an imaginary heat amount to an actual heat amount for different locations on the IC chip must be predetermined using a test integrated circuit (IC) chip. During testing, one test device at one specific location on the test IC chip is selected to function as a heat source, while at least two other test devices at other locations on the test IC chip function as temperature sensors. The heat source is biased and changes in temperature at the heat source and at the sensors are determined. These changes are used to calculate the value of the imaginary heat amount to actual heat amount ratio to be associated with the specific location.

Systems and methods of generating a stacking solution for a three-dimensional base element are disclosed. A stacking solution generate generation request is received identifying a base element and a set of item containers and a plurality of bundles are generated. Each bundle of the plurality of bundles includes one or more of the containers selected from the set of item containers. Each of the plurality of bundles is assigned to a position within a stacking window of the base element and a stacking solution is generated including a sequential pick order for each of item containers in the set of item containers based on the assignment of the plurality of bundles within the stacking window.

The present application includes a feeding platform data model configured to fit a feeding rate distribution of a feeding platform, a gantry sorting machine data model configured to fit a parcel mis-sorting probability distribution of a gantry sorting machine, a six-sided scanner data model configured to fit a non-read rate distribution, a multi-barcode distribution, and an edge exceeding rate distribution of the six-sided scanner, and a sorting bin data model configured to fit a bin lock time distribution and a bin lock duration distribution of the sorting bin. In the present application, a reliable simulation environment and a reliable verification environment are provided, so that a sorting plan table may be verified thereby facilitating optimization of the sorting plan.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) extends food shelf-life but is not customized for specific commodities and supply-chain conditions, leading to sub-optimal usage. The present disclosure utilizes physics-based models to simulate the system of MAP and generate data for shelf-life of the food commodity for various designs of MAP films stored in different environmental storage conditions. Further, this data is used to develop a hybrid recurrent neural network (RNN) and deep artificial neural network (ANN) model, which learns how the changes in storage conditions of temperature and relative humidity affect the shelf-life of the food commodity for different designs of MAP. Whereas optimization of multiple ordinary differential equations is time and compute resource intensive, the developed hybrid RNN-ANN model can be used as a surrogate which makes optimization significantly less resource intensive. A surrogate-assisted optimization model thus developed can be used to predict the optimum design of MAP for specific storage conditions.
