Abstract: The present invention solves the problem of efficiently disinfecting and deodorizing indoor areas with ozone, without introducing health risks to people inside these areas. A cold plasma ozone generator generates ozone that is distributed to one or more rooms where disinfection and/or deodorization is needed. The distribution of ozone is regulated by valves controlled by a main control module collecting data from ozone concentration and IR motion detectors installed at rooms where the ozone is distributed, and other sensors in the ozone generator, and by using a schedule associating information derived from the sensory data, with dates, time slots, and desired ozone concentrations. If ozone concentrations exceed predefined levels, ozone generation and/or distribution is interrupted. When malfunctions occur, either the main control module commands the system to enter in emergency shutdown or lockdown, or a local control module or the ozone generator take control of the ozone generation and distribution.

Abstract: Systems and methods for real time feedback and for updating welding instructions for a welding robot in real time is described herein. The data of a workspace that includes a part to be welded can be received via at least one sensor. This data can be transformed into a point cloud data representing a three-dimensional surface of the part. A desired state indicative of a desired position of at least a portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be identified. An estimated state indicative of an estimated position of at least the portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be compared to the desired state. The welding instructions can be updated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A sleeping bag may include a top flap with a head opening for the user's head to fit through and the opening may form a comfortable seal around the user's neck. The top flap may transition over the user's shoulders, transition down underneath the user's head, and extend beyond the top of the user's head. Advantageously, the sleeping bag may offer a unique way to comfortably close the top of a sleeping bag to prevent air draft and heat loss. The sleeping bag may allow users to more comfortably sleep in multiple positions, including side sleepers, stomach sleepers, back sleepers, fetal sleepers, etc. The sleeping bag may provide a soft place to lay one's head while allowing the user to sleep in a position with their hands and arms above their shoulders, while still keeping them under cover of the top layer of the sleeping bag.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for attribute-based shift allocation. For example, shift owner profiles having first attributes and shifter profiles having second attributes may be generated for shift owners and shifters, respectively. In response to receiving an indication to initiate an opening of a shift associated with a shift owner, the shift may be opened. At least a portion of shift data defining the shift may be automatically generated based on the indication and/or first attributes of the shift owner. A subset of the shifter profiles may be identified that have respective one or more second attributes that at least partially match the shift data. The shift may be published to the subset and allocated to at least one shifter that selects the shift. Trained machine learning model(s) modifiable based on shift feedback may be used to improve profile generation, shift opening and generation, shift publishing, and shift selection.

Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to optical systems and methods for determining the shape and/or size of objects that include projecting a pattern of light onto the object. The pattern of light can be configured such that first-order reflections can be distinguished from second- and/or higher-order reflections, which can be rejected. Thus, even in instances in which the pattern of light is reflected onto the object multiple times, the original, or first-order, reflection can be detected, distinguished, and/or used for laser triangulation. In some embodiments, a pattern of light that does not have reflection and/or rotational symmetry is projected onto the object, such that second-order and/or higher-order reflections can be distinguished from the first-order reflection.

Abstract: Photoluminescent sand preferably includes play sand, photoluminescent pigment, a powdered binder and a curing agent. The play sand is preferably mixed with the photoluminescent pigment to form a photo sand mix. The photo sand mix is then mixed with the powered binder and curing agent to form the photoluminescent sand mix. The photoluminescent sand mix is allowed to cure for between 3-7 days to form the photoluminescent sand.
