A method in a computing device of adjustment of operational resources based on external events includes: retrieving input data from at least one data source external to the computing device; extracting, from the input data, an event detection record including a time period associated with an event, a location associated with the event, and an impact direction associated with the event; retrieving, based on the time period and the location, a set of operational resource data; generating, based on the event detection record and the set of operational resource data, an impact magnitude associated with the event; selecting, based on the impact direction and the impact magnitude, a supplier of the operational resources; and transmitting a notification to a computing device associated with the selected supplier, the notification including the event detection record.
Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing a precomputed availability cache that is a database of precomputed availabilities for availability searches. An availability request is received. Segmentation data that includes one or more segments is obtained. An associated segmentation entry within a precomputed availability cache is determined for each of the one or more segments. A validity check of the availability data that indicates that at least one of the availabilities for the segments is invalid is performed. An availability for the at least one of the availabilities for the segments is invalid is determined by accessing an inventory database replication and processing an availability computation for the at least one of the availabilities. The cache is updated with the determined availability for the at least one of the availabilities. Availability results that include availabilities for each of the one or more segments are provided.
The present specification provides a system and method to process images including biometric data. The method includes use of synthetic images, without use of personal identifiable information (PII). The synthetic images can be used for different applications such as to provide a machine learning dataset that can be used to control output devices.

G06V 10/82 - Arrangements for image or video recognition or understanding using pattern recognition or machine learning using neural networks
G06V 40/16 - Human faces, e.g. facial parts, sketches or expressions
G06V 40/70 - Multimodal biometrics, e.g. combining information from different biometric modalities
G07C 9/10 - Movable barriers with registering means
G07C 9/25 - Individual registration on entry or exit involving the use of a pass in combination with an identity check of the pass holder using biometric data, e.g. fingerprints, iris scans or voice recognition
