Принадлежит: Scytl Secure Electronic Voting SA

A method and system for the secure and auditable consolidation of the results of an electoral process, in which local electoral authorities ( 101 ) participate to validate, by generating a validation test ( 106 ), local electoral results. This validation test is communicated to a consolidation module ( 103 ), which will verify that the validation test ( 106 ) has been generated by the appropriate electoral authorities. It will then generate a receiving test ( 107 ), which will contain the result of the validation, which could be the acceptance or non-acceptance of the validation test. The receiving test ( 107 ) is finally sent to the electoral authorities for information of the validation. There are different ways of generating the validation and receiving tests so as to be able to robustly verify the identity of the local electoral authorities ( 101 ) who have participated in the validation of the electoral results and to verify if the validated local electoral results are the same that are going to be consolidated and to preserve the integrity of the official records of the local electoral results.

A package delivery system and method that facilitates a meeting between a package recipient and a delivery vehicle. In one embodiment, the package recipient requests a rendezvous with the delivery vehicle after a failed delivery attempt. A vehicle operator or dispatching agent may accept the rendezvous request, deny the rendezvous request, or propose an alternative. If the rendezvous request is accepted, the package recipient may transmit a notification to the vehicle operator once the package recipient has arrived at the delivery vehicle so that the package may be picked up. Picking up the package from the delivery vehicle instead of waiting for a repeated delivery attempt helps to save costs associated with the repeated delivery, and helps the package recipient receive the package in a more timely manner.

An insurance company sells a life insurance policy having a coverage period. The policy provides a total benefit amount which includes an all-cause benefit amount and an accidental death only benefit amount. The policy is initially underwritten on a limited basis and the ratio of the all-cause benefit to the accidental death benefit is low. The insured has the option of providing material to enable comprehensive underwriting and to enable risk classification. If the risk classification improves the policy benefits, the mix of coverage is adjusted to include a higher ratio of the all-cause benefit amount to the accidental death only benefit amount. If the insured does not provide any additional information or materials, or if the materials provided do not result in an underwritten risk classification that enables the policy provisions to be improved, the mix of coverage remains unchanged.

The system receives demand data and constraints and initializes a current pre-pack allocation and a current pre-pack design. For the current pre-pack allocation, the system determines a new pre-pack design by solving a multi-choice integer knapsack problem, and then determines if the new pre-pack design is different than the current pre-pack design. When the new pre-pack design is different than the current pre-pack design, the system determines a new pre-pack allocation and assigns the new pre-pack allocation as the current pre-pack allocation and the new pre-pack design as the current pre-pack design and repeats the determining the new pre-pack design and the determining if the new pre-pack design is different than the current pre-pack design until the new pre-pack design is the same as the current pre-pack design.

A production system includes an information handling system (IHS) having a carrier capacity prediction tool that receives a customer order that may include packaging and carrier requirements. The carrier capacity prediction tool partitions the customer order into work units. The carrier capacity tool determines work unit carrier capacity requirements from historical data that a volumetric weight database stores. If the volumetric weight database does not include sufficient historical information to determine carrier capacity requirements, the carrier capacity tool predicts carrier capacity requirements from best fit or actual packaging data during final packaging of customer goods for shipment. The carrier capacity tool sums all work unit packaging and volumetric weight data for each customer order to generate an aggregate of the total carrier capacity needs for a particular time period for production system shipping.
