Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for artificial intelligence-based HDRL planning and control for coordinating a team of platforms includes implementing a global planning layer for determining a collective goal and determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective platform goal to be achieved by at least one platform, implementing a platform planning layer for determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective action to be performed by the at least one of the platforms to achieve the respective platform goal, and implementing a platform control layer for determining at least one respective function to be performed by the at least one of the platforms. In the method, apparatus and system despite the fact that information is shared between at least two of the layers, the global planning layer, the platform planning layer, and the platform control layer are trained separately.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a patient interface for wound treatment and/or management, comprising: an interface body configurable to substantially or at least partially surround a wound, the interface body comprising a gas inlet and defining a first gas flow path having a first flow resistance, and a second gas flow path having a second flow resistance. The first gas flow path is arranged in fluid communication with the gas inlet and the second gas flow path. The interface body comprises or is configurable to provide a gas outlet at or adjacent to the wound site.

Abstract: An expandable panel, constructed such that the expandable panel can at least expand in at least one direction, includes a panel having a front face and rear face bordered by side edges, end edges and a thickness dimension extending between the front and rear faces and includes discretely spaced cuts extending from the front face to the rear face or rear to front face. The cuts form bridging members between living hinges and are elongate and extend in a spaced longitudinal manner including at least one cut forming a side of the expandable panel located on one side of the cut, and at least two cuts located on a side of the expandable panel. The at least one cut on side and the other cuts on side together forming at least one pair of lines being substantially parallel, offset mirror images of each other and being intermeshed but not touching.

Abstract: A connector for connecting a panel member to an overhead support structure or cross support member includes an elongate planar body with a first planar surface and second planar surface separated by a thickness dimension, having side edges and end edges. Each end portion includes an enlarged partially rounded shape. The first end portion is a fixing portion and the second end portion is a locating portion. The fixing portion includes a fixing unit to removably affix one connector to the panel capping member, overhead support structure or cross support member. The fixing portion includes a first camming body extending outwardly, having a base portion extending from the first end portion, leading to a platform portion forming at least one recessed gap for locating the camming surfaces. The fixing portion includes a further fixing unit to affix the connector to the overhead support structure or panel capping member.

Abstract: A panel mounting system for mounting a panel (particularly a solar panel) to a structure. A load element connects a panel retainer to the roof structure and plastically deforms to a deformed configuration upon application of a predetermined threshold load to the load element. The load element typically has a cranked initial condition and elongates during plastic deformation. The mounting system prevents roof damage due to wind loading on the panels.

Abstract: A system and method for advertising and selling products and services over a decentralized network is disclosed. Generally, a seller uses a stand-alone seller application to generate an offer listing including an offer of sale. At least a portion of the offer listing is sent to a syndicated web feed provider, which creates an XML file based on the portion of the offer listing. The syndicated web feed provider disseminates a web feed comprising the XML file to a plurality of stand-alone buyer applications. If a potential buyer is interesting in an offer of sale, the potential buyer uses the stand-alone buyer application to direct contact the stand-alone seller application of the seller. The seller and potential buyer directly negotiate and the transaction is abandoned or completed based on the negotiations.

Abstract: A system and method for advertising and selling products and services over a decentralized network is disclosed. Generally, a seller uses a stand-alone seller application to reserve keywords with a syndicated web feed provider and to send both a banner advertisement and a web-based media advertisement associated with the reserved keywords to the syndicated web feed provider. The syndicated web feed provider creates an XML file based on the reserved keywords and received advertisements, and periodically creates and disseminates a web feed comprising the XML file to a plurality of stand-alone buyer applications. In response to actions of the buyer, the stand-alone buyer application requests the banner advertisement. If a buyer clicks on a received banner advertisement, the buyer is directed to a web-based media advertisement. The buyer interacts with the web-based media advertisement and may complete a transaction for an offer of sale.
