Abstract: A robotic line kitting system is disclosed. In various embodiments, a signal associated with an unsafe condition is received via a communication interface. In response to the signal, a controlled operation to reduce a speed of movement of a robotic instrumentality is performed prior to a safety stop of the robotic instrumentality being triggered.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to use robotic system simulation to control a robotic system. In various embodiments, a communication indicating an action to be performed by a robotic element is received from a robotic control system. Performance of the action by the robotic element is simulated. A state tracking data is updated to reflect a virtual change to one or more state variables as a result of simulated performance of the action. Successful completion of the action by the robotic element is reported to the robotic control system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for vehicle localization. The vehicle can include a data processing system (“DPS”) including one or more processors and memory. The DPS can receive sensor data from sensors of the vehicle. The DPS can identify a historical road profile of the ground for a first location of the vehicle. The DPS can generate a current road profile of the ground. The DPS can determine a lateral deviation of the vehicle. The DPS can determine a match between the historical road profile and the current road profile at a second location that aligns with the lateral deviation. The DPS can provide an indication of a current location of the vehicle as the second location.
Abstract: A travel control device carries out a travel control for a vehicle based on detected lane boundary lines. A first prescribed position, an absolute vehicle position and an absolute vehicle azimuth angle are stored while changing from a state where the lane boundary lines can be detected to a state where the lane boundary lines cannot be detected. A second prescribed position is stored while changing from a state in which the lane boundary lines cannot be detected to a state in which the lane boundary lines can be detected. The host vehicle is controlled to travel along a travel path connecting the first prescribed position and the second prescribed position where a current absolute position and a current absolute azimuth angle of the host vehicle do not deviate by a prescribed value or more from the stored absolute position and the stored absolute azimuth angle.
Abstract: The apparatus and method are designed to compute the optimal spatial and temporal characteristics for combating tumor growth within a body on the basis of cytological (as provided by biopsies, etc.) and anatomical data (as provided by CT, MRI, PET, etc.), as well as the electric properties of the different elements. On the basis of this computation, the apparatus applies the fields that have maximal effect on the tumor and minimal effect on all other tissues by adjusting both the field generator output characteristics and by optimal positioning of the insulated electrodes or isolects on the patient's body.
Abstract: Wavelet transform processing is performed on an input signal received at a receiver circuit of an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system. The input signal includes a target signal generated by an EAS marker and also includes correlated high amplitude interference signals. The wavelet transform processing is performed so as to generate from the input signal plural wavelet transform signals having mutually different phases. The wavelet transform is substantially phase invariant with respect to the interference signals and lacks phase invariance with respect to the target signal. Uncorrelated components of the plural phase-diverse wavelet transform signals are identified to detect the target signal.
