Publication number: 20250089947Abstract: The holder rests or attaches to the ledge of a sink and stores a tool such as a toothbrush in an inverted position to drain into the sink basin. The holder includes a base cooperating with a suction cup, a post with at least one notch, and an arm with slots to hold the tool handle. In most cases, a three-walled shield protects the stored tool from splashes or debris created in the sink during regular use. The angle of the tool holder advantageously encourages any liquid debris on the tool to drain away from the tool as it dries during storage. In one example, a toothbrush handle rests in the notch and contacts the arm extending over the sink. The cleaning head, bristles, razor, or other working end of the tool will desirably hang to enhance the hygienic storage of the tool. A cover protects the tool from splashes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: NOOKOLOGY LLCInventors: Brian J. Gellman, Marc Gellman

Publication number: 20250091199Abstract: A tendon-driven robotic gripper is disclosed for performing fingertip and enveloping grasps. One embodiment comprises two fingers, each with two links, and is actuated using a single active tendon. During unobstructed closing, the distal links remain parallel, creating exact fingertip grasps. Conversely, if the proximal links are stopped by contact with an object, the distal links start flexing, creating a stable enveloping grasp. The route of the active tendon and the parameters of the springs providing passive extension forces are optimized in order to achieve this behavior. An additional passive tendon is disclosed that may be used as a constraint preventing the gripper from entering undesirable parts of the joint workspace. A method for optimizing the dimensions of the links in order to achieve enveloping grasps of a large range of objects is disclosed and applied to a set of common household objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: Willow Garage, LLCInventors: Matei Ciocarlie, Scott Stanford

Publication number: 20250094720Abstract: Validation of alt text for images in web pages includes extracting image data from the web pages, the image data including source data and alt text data for a plurality of image elements in the web pages. Natural language descriptions of the image elements are generated by providing images defined by the source data to a computer vision component. Prompts are then generated for a semantic comparison model. The prompts include the natural language descriptions of image elements and the alt text for the image elements. The semantic comparison model is trained to output similarity scores for the prompts. Each of the similarity scores is indicative of a similarity between the natural language description and the alt text data for the image element associated with each prompt. Image elements having inaccurate alt text can then be determined based the similarity score.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Meshack Kokonya MUSUNDI, Jia MA, Victor Onyango ORIKO

Publication number: 20250096812Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a set of N unit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) having a common architecture, and which provide an aggregate data rate. Moreover, the integrated circuit includes control logic that selects subsets of the set of N unit ADCs in order to realize sub-ADCs of different data rates that can each be an arbitrary integer multiple of an inverse of N times the aggregate data rate of the N unit ADCs. Furthermore, the control logic may dynamically select the subsets on the fly or on a frame-by-frame basis. This dynamically selection may occur at boot time and/or a runtime. Additionally, the given different data rate may correspond to one or more phases of a multi-phase clock in the integrated circuit, where the multiphase clock may include a number of phases corresponding to a number of possible subsets, and given selected subsets may not use all of the available phases.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: AyDeeKay LLC dba Indie SemiconductorInventors: Setu Mohta, Christopher A.
