Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing two-dimensional (ā2Dā) camera data for object recognition. An object recognition kiosk includes a plurality of 2D cameras and a stage for placement of one or more items. The plurality of 2D cameras, one of which acts as a reference camera, capture images of items on the stage from multiple angles. The system synchronizes image data from each camera in order to accurately identify items present on the stage. In situations where items in camera images fail to be linked to items identified in the reference camera perspective, the system maintains a fallback hierarchy of camera pairs to utilize to link items found in different camera images. The use of different camera pairs to link item detections continues down the fallback hierarchy until either all the item detections are linked or the last camera pair in the fallback hierarchy is reached.

Abstract: A plumbing adapter for use in connecting two plumbing interfaces to one another. The plumbing adapter, which is configured to move between multiple positions in order to accommodate any misalignment between the two plumbing interfaces, comprises a base frame (22) supporting an inner ring (12) and an outer ring (14), wherein the inner ring (12) inner diameter defines a first central longitudinal axis (16), wherein the outer ring (14) inner diameter defines a second central longitudinal axis (18), wherein the inner ring and the outer ring are both rotatable within the base frame such that the first central longitudinal axis (16) and the second central longitudinal axis (18) can be moved with respect to one another in order to accommodate for misalignment between the first plumbing interface and the second plumbing interface.
Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated and predictive generation of shortcuts to network resources by receiving a content part of a network resource based on a user selection of a link. Monitoring user interactions with the content part are monitored to produce user interaction data, and a usage parameter is determined based on the user interaction data. When a value of the user usage parameter exceeds a threshold value, a network resource content classification associated with the link is automatically generated based at least in part on a content classification machine learning model trained to classify the content part, the network resource, or both, based at least in part on a content similarity to an existing stored network resource identifier. A stored network resource identifier is automatically generated for the link in a network resource group of a user profile associated with the network resource content classification.

Abstract: A method for coordinating a discharge session in which direct current power is offloaded from a power supply, e.g., of an electric vehicle (EV), to a bidirectional offboard charging station includes, in response to connection of the power supply to the charging station via a charging cord set, exchanging charging data between the EV and charging station. This occurs over a low-voltage communication line, with charging data including power and current limits of the EV and charging station. In response to the limits being indicative of negative limits, with the negative limits representing a request for the discharge session, the method includes transmitting the EV power and current limits to the charging station to confirm the request. The discharge session is initiated in response to confirming the request through an exchange of a unique identifier indicating support for the discharge session.
