In various embodiments, approaches for the placement of inventory in a materials handling facility are described. A virtual representation of a plurality of storage locations in a materials handling facility is maintained in a computer system. Each one of a plurality of inventory items is assigned to a corresponding storage location in the virtual representation. A first portion of the inventory items is stocked, and a second portion of the inventory items is unstocked. Each of the assignments is associated with a profit value. An event related to a change in state of the materials handling facility is input into the computer system. Each one of the second portion of the inventory items is reassigned in the computer system to a corresponding storage location in the virtual representation.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for version independent Point of Sale Activation (POSA) product download. The method comprises accessing a database, wherein the database comprises a plurality of entries associated with a plurality of Point of Sale Activation (POSA) cards available for purchase at a retail store; retrieving, from the database, a plurality of entries associated with a previous version of a software product, wherein the previous version of the software product has not been redeemed; generating a serial number for each retrieved entry, wherein each serial number is associated with a current version of the software product; and updating, in the database, each retrieved entry with the generated serial number.

A parking lot data repair method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: calculating spatial similarity between two parking lots according to the spatial features of the parking lots and a spatial similarity measurement model; clustering the parking lots into different parking lot clusters according to the spatial similarity, and calculating a spatial similarity probability corresponding to each parking lot cluster; calculating data similarity between two sample parking lots in the same parking lot cluster, and according to the data similarity and the spatial similarity probability corresponding to the parking lot cluster, calculating the data similarity probability of the parking lot cluster under a similar spatial condition; and when the data similarity probability under the similar spatial condition exceeds a probability threshold value, performing data repair on the parking lot to be repaired in the parking lot cluster by means of a cyclic generation-type confrontation network.

A vehicle and a controlling method of the vehicle are provided. The vehicle may include: a battery; a plurality of cameras powered by the battery; a GPS sensor configured to detect a GPS signal; a storage configured to store map information; and a controller configured to determine a parking location based on the map information and the GPS signal, determine a fixed object based on images captured by the plurality of cameras and deactivate at least one camera of the plurality of cameras based on the parking location, the fixed object and a state of charge (SOC) of the battery.

Techniques for parking space light are provided. A parking space light can identify, via one or more instruments of the parking space light, a set of parking spaces in a defined region of a parking structure in which the parking space light is installed, monitor, via the one or more instruments, the set of parking spaces, and determine respective occupied statuses of parking spaces of the set of parking spaces, wherein the respective occupied statuses indicate whether the parking spaces are occupied or unoccupied.

Certain exemplary embodiments described herein relate to the field of electronic registration (ER) of purchased products and, more particularly, to improved electronic registration techniques purchase-side and/or return-side handling of recalled items. Certain exemplary embodiments on the purchase-side may help to filter-out products that have recalled been before they are purchased. Certain exemplary embodiments on the return-side may help enable recall return overrides, thus facilitating the acceptance of recalled products even though they might not qualify under an original return/warranty policy. Advantageously, more and more recalled products may be filtered out of circulation through the use of purchase-side and/or return-side recall watch list checking techniques of certain exemplary embodiments. Such purchase-side and/or return-side recall watch list checking may be performed together with or separate from electronic registration techniques in different exemplary embodiments.

The present invention provides nomograms and methods or predicting survival probabilities for patients diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer based upon patient characteristics such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, albumin level, Karnofsky performance status, the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, liver metastasis, previous Whipple procedure, treatment with nab-paclitaxel, and analgesic use. In some aspects, the nomograms or methods are implemented by a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
