  • Publication number: 20240135714
    Abstract: A method of classifying a task includes obtaining a plurality of images via an image capturing device and an audio signal via an audio sensor for a predetermined period of time. The method further includes classifying, via a first trained machine learning model, the plurality of images to generate a list of first class probabilities and a list of first class labels. The method further includes classifying, via a second trained machine learning model, the audio signal to generate a list of second class probabilities and a list of second class labels. The method further includes determining, via a merging algorithm, a list of third class probabilities and a list of third class labels based on the lists of first and second class probabilities. The method further includes determining the task corresponding to the predetermined period of time based on the list of third class probabilities.

  • Publication number: 20240121890
    Abstract: A structure of a circuitry substrate for securing an area from tampering is disclosed. The structure includes a circuitry substrate with at least one of a top tamper enclosure and a bottom tamper enclosure covering a component in a protected area of the circuitry substrate. The top and bottom tamper enclosures are adhesively bonded to a surface of the circuitry substrate, and a tear initiation site is added to a side of the perimeter of circuitry substrate bordering the protected area that includes at least one tamper enclosure, such that the tear initiation site is located and configured to enable propagation of a delamination of at least one internal layer of the circuitry substrate and a severing of a security circuit when a removal force is applied to the at least one of the top tamper enclosure and the bottom tamper enclosure.

  • Patent number: 11915376
    Abstract: An assisted perception (AP) module comprises an attachment mechanism to attach the AP module to a helmet, and a housing to integrate modular components of the AP module. The housing comprises a front portion and side portion, the front portion located over an eye of the user. The modular components include sensors to collect information about an environment as sensor data, and processors located in the side portion. The processors execute one or more assisted perception engines that process the sensor data from the sensors into enhanced characterization data. Output devices electronically communicate the enhanced characterization data to a user, wherein at least one of the output devices protrudes from the front portion of the housing in front of an eye of the user.

  • Patent number: 8893037
    Abstract: User interfaces facilitate user interaction with virtual representations of anatomical structures that are displayed on computing systems. The user interfaces demonstrably reflect the relative impact of different medical conditions on the anatomical structures. The impact of the medical conditions can be reflected in real-time, as a slider object is manipulated to pull a slide transition screen over the anatomical object. Portions of the anatomical object that become overlapped by the slide transition screens are displayed with dynamic modifications that reflect the impact of the medical conditions associated with the slide transition screens.

  • Patent number: 5055382
    Abstract: A three-part bleach-fix regeneration kit is utilized to restore the capability of a spent bleach-fix solution to function as a working solution in photographic processing. The first part, which is an aqueous alkaline solution containing a buffering agent and an aminopolycarboxylic acid, is added to the spent bleach-fix solution prior to electrolytic recovery of silver therefrom. The second and third parts, which are aqueous acidic solutions containing, respectively, an iron salt and a thiosulfate fixing agent, are added after electrolytic recovery of silver. The first part functions to increase the pH of the spent bleach-fix solution to a level at which electrolytic silver recovery is optimized, while the second and third parts function to lower the pH to an optimum level for use in photographic processing. In addition to providing the necessary pH changes, addition of the three parts in this manner restores all necessary components to their proper concentration.

  • Patent number: 4699894
    Abstract: A highly selective zeolitic reforming catalyst is disclosed that contains a promoter selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, and titanium; and that has a platinum to promoter weight ratio of less than 10:1. In one embodiment a type L zeolite is formed by combining an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and ferric nitrate with an aqueous solution of silica to form a thickening gel in a mother liquor; heating the thickening gel to form a type L zeolite; cooling the solution containing the type L zeolite; decanting the mother liquor from the solution; filtering the type L zeolite from the solution; washing the filtered type L zeolite so that the pH of the wash is about 101/2; and drying the washed type L zeolite. The catalyst is formed by adding platinum to the dried type L zeolite by pore fill impregnation with an aqueous solution of Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.4 (NO.sub.3).sub.2 to form a catalyst; drying the catalyst and calcining the catalyst.
