Abstract: Systems and methods monitor a conveyor system to determine whether packages are at risk of falling off or jamming. Sensor(s), such as emitters, emit signals in a direction along a longitudinal length of the conveyor system, such as parallel to a flow of packages. Additional sensor(s), such as receivers, are arranged to receive the signals. In instances where the signals are received by the receivers, the packages may be properly positioned on the conveyor system and may not be at risk of falling off and/or jamming. However, if the signals are not received, this may be indicative of the packages being improperly positioned on the conveyor system. In such instances, the conveyor system may come to a stop, may slow in speed, and/or personnel may be instructed to reposition the packages on the conveyor system.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to interactive graphical display. A request is processed by a generative system to generate multiple hypotheses of an output in response to the request, a primary hypothesis of the multiple hypotheses having a highest confidence for the output, multiple secondary hypotheses of the multiple hypotheses having a lower confidence than the highest confidence. At least one region of divergence is determined from the primary hypothesis by the multiple secondary hypotheses, the at least one region of divergence having alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses, the alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses differing from the primary hypothesis. A graphical user interface displays the at least one region of divergence in the primary hypothesis and alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses for the at least one region of divergence, the alternatives and primary hypothesis for the at least one region of divergence being displayed as selectable options for a user.

Abstract: A power converter apparatus employs an energy recovery auxiliary circuit to suppress overvoltage oscillations and achieve high efficiency in a resonant LLC power converter system having high power density. The power converter apparatus includes an inverter configured to receive a DC input power and produce an AC voltage, a resonant tank including a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor coupled between the AC voltage and a primary winding of a transformer, a rectifier configured to produce a DC output power coupled to a secondary winding of the transformer. The power converter suppresses overvoltage oscillations on rectifier switches by employing an energy recovery auxiliary circuit to transfer, during a transition period, current from the secondary side to a clamping capacitor conductively coupled to the primary side of the converter. The energy is then recovered during a subsequent power transfer cycle, thereby improving overall efficiency of the power converter.

Abstract: The effect of laser stimulation, e.g., R:GEN, of the RPE and its impact on MMPs and RAAS pathways are used to guide patient therapies. Certain biomarkers, namely MMPs, TIMPs, and components associated with RAAS, are effective indicators of healing response levels generated by the patients undergoing the therapy. An eye disease is diagnosed in a patient and a first biomarker sample is obtained from a biomatrix, e.g., patient's blood in containers with protease inhibitors. An initial subthreshold laser treatment is then performed on the eye. By monitoring the presence, amount, and relative levels of one or more of the above biomarkers as the patient heals, it is determined when the patient's body has sufficiently responded to the previous treatment, such that retreatment may be appropriate. The present disclosure demonstrates effective treatment of eye diseases, e.g., dry age-related macular degeneration, which utilize laser treatment alone or in combination with other treatments.

A first set of candidate grasp locations on the object is determined based on data representative of simulated grasp quality from the evaluation. Based on sensor data from an actual experiment for the robot grasping using each of the candidate grasp locations, an actual object grasp quality is evaluated for each of the candidate locations.
