Abstract: An automated checkout system modifies received images of machine-readable labels to improve the performance of a label detection model that the system uses to decode item identifiers encoded in the machine-readable labels. For example, the automated checkout system may transform subregions of an image of a machine-readable label to adjust for distortions in the image's depiction of the machine-readable label. Similarly, the automated checkout system may identify readable regions within received images of machine-readable labels and apply a label detection model to those readable regions. By modifying received images of machine-readable labels, these techniques improve on existing computer-vision technologies by allowing for the effective decoding of machine-readable labels based on real-world images using relatively clean training data.

Abstract: The mower fleet management device is configured to control a plurality of mowers to work in collaboration. Each of the mowers includes an on-board communication module and an on-board positioning and navigation module. The mower fleet management device includes: a map loading module configured to acquire a map of a working land parcel; a control terminal communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with the on-board communication modules to acquire status information of the mowers; and a working region assigning module configured to assign a working region to each of the mowers according to the status information and the map. The on-board positioning and navigation module of each of the mowers guides the mower to work in the corresponding working region according to the assigned working region.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of biomedicine. In particular, the present invention relates to an interferon-based method for treating a disease, comprising intermittently administering an interferon-based therapeutic agent to a subject, where the disease is for example a viral infection or a cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine. Disclosed herein is interferon-based method and pharmaceutical combination for treating cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to an interferon-based method for treating cancer, comprising i) intermittently administering an interferon-based therapeutic agent, and ii) administering an additional anticancer agent, preferably, Gemcitabine, to a subject. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical combination for use in said method.

Abstract: Waveforms in power grids typically reveal a certain pattern with specific features and peculiarities driven by the system operating conditions, internal and external uncertainties, etc. This prompts an observation of different types of waveforms at the measurement points (substations). An innovative next-generation smart sensor technology includes a measurement unit embedded with sophisticated analytics for power grid online surveillance and situational awareness. The smart sensor brings additional levels of smartness into the existing phasor measurement units (PMUs) and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It unlocks the full potential of advanced signal processing and machine learning for online power grid monitoring in a distributed paradigm.

Abstract: An intelligent continuous polishing machine and an intelligent continuous polishing process therefor are provided. The intelligent continuous polishing machine includes a base platen, a rotary platen, a multi-beam bridge mechanism, two workpiece holding mechanisms, a lap measuring mechanism, a lap cutting mechanism, a small-conditioner holding mechanism, a large-conditioner holding mechanism, and a control computer. The intelligent continuous polishing process includes a normal polishing procedure, a lap surface shape measuring procedure, and three procedures for correcting the lap surface shape error: a lap cutting procedure, a sub-aperture correcting procedure, and a full-aperture correcting procedure. All of these procedures are controlled by the control computer through CNC programs.
