Abstract: The application relates to a cleaning system configured for cleaning of cavities filled with a liquid, including fragmentation, debridement, material removal, irrigation, disinfection, and decontamination. The cleaning system includes an electromagnetic radiation system and a liquid. A treatment handpiece irradiates the liquid within a cavity with a radiation beam, producing a first vapor bubble using first pulse, and, at a different location, a second vapor bubble using a second pulse. The pulse repetition time is adjusted to ensure efficacy, for example such that an onset time of the second vapor bubble is within the first contraction phase of the first vapor bubble, when the first vapor bubble has contracted from its maximal volume to a size in a range from about 0.7 to about 0.1 of the maximal volume.

Abstract: A method of filtering a URL against a blacklist includes receiving at least a portion of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and determining which of a plurality of XOR filters is applicable to the received at least a portion of a URL, where each of the plurality of XOR filters represents a different portion of a URL blacklist. At least a portion of a URL is forwarded to the applicable one of the plurality of XOR filters, and the at least a portion of the URL is processed in the applicable one of the plurality of XOR filters to produce an output indicating whether the URL is likely on the blacklist.

Abstract: An agricultural device for soil processing with two sets of working rollers comprises a supporting frame, which comprises a central part, a left wing and a right wing. The left and right wings are rotatably attached to the central part. At least two rows of working units are attached to the supporting frame. The working units are arranged in regular distances in every row. A left set of rollers is attached to the left wing and a right set of rollers is attached to the right wing. The sets of rollers are divided into front rollers and rear rollers and provided with attachments and discs. The discs on the sets are located between these attachments. The number of discs of rear rollers differs exactly by one disc from the number of discs of front rollers. The distances between individual discs are the same along the whole width of the agricultural device. The discs of front rollers are located in the same plane as the working units.

Abstract: A method is for detecting one or more objects in a detection zone using a time-of-flight sensor. The method includes emitting optical radiation via the emission circuitry of the sensor and subsequently capturing the reflected optical radiation using the reception circuitry. This captured radiation is quantified in terms of photons, and measurement circuitry determines both the amount of these photons and the distance from the sensor to the object(s). An analysis of the photon count, combined with the calculated distance, is used to determine the presence or absence of objects within the detection zone.

Abstract: An optical element, e.g. based on a diffractive Fresnel lens, having suppressed or reduced chromatic aberration under non-monochromatic light and/or enhanced directional homogenisation in its angular irradiation characteristics, comprises a plurality of optical zones (10, 20), wherein each zone comprises at least one homogenising noise-introducing feature. In embodiments the at least one homogenising noise-introducing feature comprises one or more zonal displacement features, e.g. ripples (20?, 20?) and/or one or more zonal modulation features, e.g. one or more patterning features (30).

Abstract: The pile plug (1) has independent buoyancy, high displacement and a rigid structure of the skeleton (2) and a flexible sheath (3) at least on the side surface of the plug body, while the flexible sheath constitutes an airtight container equipped with pneumatic valves (4). The sheathing material (3) of the plug (1) can be made of a material with a high friction coefficient in relation to the pile material selected from the group: natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane. Inside the cap (1) there is a pile venting pipe (14) closed with a pile venting valve (15), which connects the space inside the pile with the surroundings. Preferably, the cap (1) has a ballast load (16) internally for positioning the plug with respect to the pile and for balancing the cap horizontally and also preventing unfavourable rotation of the pile.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed that identifies a source area within a facility comprising a plurality of objects, and determines a destination area within the facility to which the plurality of objects are to be transported and unloaded. The system selects robots within the facility based a capability of the robots and/or a location of the robots within the facility. The system provides an instruction to the robots to transport the plurality of objects from the source area to the destination area. The robots are configured to autonomously select an object based on a position and location of the object within the source area, transport the selected object to a destination area along a route selected by the robot, and unload the selected object at a location within the destination area selected based on a number of objects yet to be unloaded within the destination area.
