Abstract: Any technical error with robotic arms that are used to automatically perform object packing can affect quality and efficiency with which the packing is being carried out, and this in turn affects space utilization when a large quantity of objects are to be accommodated in tight packing spaces. This disclosure relates generally to automated object packing and more specifically to an object packing mechanism in which corrections are made when placement of object is identified as violating one or more regulations. The system packs objects by calculating ICP-BCP pairs for each empty space in a packing space. After packing each object, the system checks whether placement of the object violates one or more regulations, and if any violation is found, then the system determines and executes one or more corrective action to correct placement of the object that violates the regulation.

Abstract: Disclosed are hardware and techniques for correcting computer process faults by identifying risk associated with correcting a computer process fault and computer processes that may depend on the corrected computer process. The interdependent computer processes in a network may be determined by evaluating a stream of process break flags from a monitoring component coupled to the network. Each computer process break flag in the stream of computer process break flags indicates a process fault detected by the monitoring component and is correlated to a corrective response. The break flag and the corrective response are assigned a risk. A risk matrix accounts for interdependencies between computer processes and identified corrective actions. A final response strategy that corrects the computer process faults is determined using the assigned risk and computer system interdependence.

Abstract: Conventional systems and methods limit their approaches for simpler stratum corneum (SC) model and approximated parameters and thus lacked in understanding of electroporation. Further, these approaches limit their capabilities to a specific phenomenon either molecular of macroscopic level permeation, and flux and cumulative release profiles could not be obtained using molecular models due to their limitations with respect to time and length scales. Conventional simulation studies also lack in designing electroporation experimental protocols which require selection of multiple pulse parameters. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for in-silico design of skin electroporation parameters; wherein skin lipids membrane are simulated for calculation of physical properties such as diffusion coefficient. Further, macroscopic diffusion is simulated during electroporation and flux and cumulative release profiles of actives are computed.
