Systems and methods are provided for creating templates in an information management tool that are designed to track and timely and accurately report certain information in accordance with the requirements of a specific process, form or other requirement. Information relating to a user is obtained from one or more sources through electronic means, and the information is then organized and securely stored in a database using field mapping and other techniques to classify the information into specific categories. The information that is obtained and organized may include contact information, financial information, health information and historical information. The organized information may then be accessed by the user to automatically and instantaneously populate or supplement an electronic document, form or web-based application without requiring the user to manually enter the information. The system automatically detects and stores updates to information and builds a database of forms and electronic documents for future use.

A device, system and method for generating geofences based on public-safety factors is provided. Responsive to receiving, via an input device, an input requesting formation of a public-safety geofence at a given location of a map rendered at the display screen, the device: retrieves public-safety factors from at least one public-safety information database; renders, at a display screen, at the given location of the map, a first public-safety geofence shaped and sized according to the factors; renders, at the display screen, respective indications of the factors. Responsive to receiving, via the input device, disabling input to disable a given factor represented by the respective indications of the factors, the device: disables the given factor; and replaces, at the display screen, at the given location of the map, the first geofence with a second public-safety geofence shaped and sized according to enabled factors which exclude the given factor as disabled.

A research application and service are provided. The research application can be a mobile application, a feature within a word processing software, or an extension of a web-browsing software, through which a user can indicate a subject of research or assignment and receive a list of research topics from which credible research sources can be searched. The application is used to browse research sources and select particular ones to a collection. The application sends the data regarding selected research sources to be stored and accessed later via the research service. When a user is subsequently in a productivity application/authoring canvas, the productivity application can access the data collected by the user. Feedback on what, if any, research sources are included in an authoring canvas is used by the research service to modify the research sources presented by the research application when the topic is next selected by that or other users.

A self-contained truck-mounted brick laying machine (2) is described. A truck (1) supports the brick laying machine (2) which is mounted on a frame (3) on the truck chassis. The frame (3) supports packs or pallets of bricks (52, 53) placed on a platform (51). A transfer robot can then pick up an individual brick and move it to, or between either a saw (46) or a router (47) or a carousel (48). The carousel is located coaxially with a tower (10), at the base of the tower (10). The carousel (48) transfers the brick via the tower (10) to an articulated (folding about horizontal axis (16)) telescoping boom comprising first boom element in the form of telescopic boom (12, 14) and second boom element in the form of telescopic stick (15, 17, 18, 19, 20). The bricks are moved along the folding telescoping boom by linearly moving shuttles, to reach a brick laying and adhesive applying head (32). The brick laying and adhesive applying head (32) mounts to element (20) of the stick, about an axis (33) which is disposed horizontally. The poise of the brick laying and adhesive applying head (32) about the axis (33) is adjusted and is set in use so that the base (811) of a clevis (813) of the robotic arm (36) mounts about a horizontal axis, and the tracker component (130) is disposed uppermost on the brick laying and adhesive applying head (32). The brick laying and adhesive applying head (32) applies adhesive to the brick and has a robot that lays the brick. Vision and laser scanning and tracking systems are provided to allow the measurement of as-built slabs, bricks, the monitoring and adjustment of the process and the monitoring of safety zones. The first, or any course of bricks can have the bricks pre machined by the router module (47) so that the top of the course is level once laid.

Techniques are provided for providing multi-factor authentication with Uniform Resource Locator (URL) validation (MFAUV). One of the multiple authentication factors used may include a unique, user-specific URL that is sent to the user within a message. In this way, the user may simply click on, or otherwise execute or select, the provided URL, directly from within the message in which the URL is provided.

This disclosure relates to a method for a wearable device as well as a wearable device and a positioning system associated therewith. The wearable device is attached to a wearer through an attachment assembly. The method comprises steps of collecting identity information of an operator operating the wearable device; detecting whether the collected identity information matches with pre-stored target identity information; inhibiting detachment of the attachment assembly from the wearer if the collected identity information does not match with the pre-stored target identity information; acquiring position information of the wearable device; and sending the collected identity information along with the position information to a monitoring terminal for the wearable device. Therefore, usage security and reliability of the wearable device are improved.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to secure access. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for securing access using decentralized biometric authentication data through a blockchain network including: a user interface product operable on a user device and configured to: receive a first one or more biometric data; receive near real-time location data associated with the first one or more biometric data; receive a token comprising a second one or more biometric data; determine whether the first one or more biometric data matches within a threshold with the second one or more biometric data; determine whether the first one or more biometric data and the second one or more biometric data are associated with the user device; determine whether the near real-time location data is within a threshold distance from a storage and retrieval system (SRS); and provide data associated with unlocking the SRS.
