Abstract: A method includes: storing an occupancy map for a facility, the occupancy map defining: for each of a plurality of regions in the facility, a current occupancy for a present time value, and for each of at least a subset of the regions, a future occupancy for a subsequent time value; generating a path from a current pose of a mobile robot in the facility to a target pose, based on the current and future occupancies; in response to execution of the path at the mobile robot, capturing sensor data representing a vicinity of the mobile robot; detecting an obstacle from the sensor data; and transmitting occupancy data for generating an updated occupancy map including an updated future occupancy for at least one of the subset of regions, the occupancy data including obstacle data indicating a location of the obstacle, and path data defining the path.

Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.

Abstract: A method includes: storing, at a mobile robot, a local repository of self-assigned task definitions; determining, at a processor of the mobile robot, that a local activity metric associated with tasks assigned to the mobile robot by a central server meets an idle criterion; in response to determining that the local activity metric meets the idle criterion, selecting, by the processor, one of the self-assigned task definitions from the local repository; and initiating execution of a self-assigned task corresponding to the selected self-assigned task definition at the mobile robot.

Abstract: A method includes: at a mobile robot, travelling according to a current path; using a sensor of the mobile robot, capturing sensor data representing a vicinity of the mobile robot; detecting, based on the sensor data, an obstacle obstructing the current path; in response to detecting the obstacle, outputting a request for a status change corresponding to the obstacle; receiving at the mobile robot, in response to the request for a status change, data defining an updated status of the obstacle; selecting, based on the updated status data, a navigational action between (i) continuing to travel according to the current path and (ii) generating a new path circumventing the obstacle; and executing the selected navigational action.

The example method may also include generating a temporary valet passcode. The example method may also include displaying a request for entry of the temporary valet passcode. The example method may also include determining that an input has been received. The example method may also include determining that a mobile device is located within the vehicle or within a threshold distance from the vehicle. The example method may also include preventing the vehicle from starting based on authorization of the mobile device for a period of time subsequent to the input being received.

Abstract: An improved auto-chocking enabled cargo dolly that is towable by ground support equipment. The dolly has a frame, wheels attached to the frame that support the frame and rotate to allow movement of the frame, a tow bar, a linkage in communication with the tow bar and that actuates when the tow bar is raised, and a wheel engagement chocking system fixed to the dolly frame and disposed to selectively engage at least one of the wheels attached to the dolly frame. The wheel engagement system is responsive to a position of the linkage, where the wheel engagement chocking system applies pressure directly to at least one of the wheels to hold the wheel(s) in place when the linkage is actuated by the tow bar.

Abstract: A method of maintaining at least one gas turbine engine includes monitoring a compressor of the gas turbine engine. The compressor includes a compressor case at least partially defining a flow path, a plurality of stages and a vane actuator system configured to move at least one of the stages. The vane actuator system includes a vane mover having one or more slots formed therein and configured to actuate the at least one stage. The vane mover may be replaced after the gas turbine engine has experienced engine degradation.

Abstract: An elevator system includes a drive controller configured to actuate a drive motor of an elevator drive assembly. A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program instructions that cause a processor to retrieve a set of rules of the elevator system, generate at least one graphical user interface by applying the set of rules to at least one design template, calculate an acceptance score for the at least one graphical user interface based on a user profile of an administrator, and publish the at least one graphical user interface based at least partially on the acceptance score. The elevator system further includes a display device configured to display the graphical user interface after it is published and cause the drive controller to actuate the drive motor based on user input of a selection of at least one selectable option on the at least one graphical user interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatically generating and populating one or more car floor buttons on a configuration tool display wherein the configuration tool is in communication with an elevator cabin of an elevator system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and control devices may be employed to configure an in-car display of an elevator system based on a learning procedure. One example method may involve inputting information required for the learning and starting the learning procedure for installing or updating a configuration of the in-car display. The learning procedure may include the steps of gathering floor information of all floors of the elevator system and generating a configuration of the in-car display based on the gathered floor information. The information required for the learning procedure may include at least one of an access authorization code or a total number of floors accessible to the elevator system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for importing data to an elevator content control system comprises using a computing structure remote from a destination dispatch kiosk to select a location to upload a configuration data file. The configuration data file includes building information and elevator information. The method comprises uploading the selected configuration data file to the content control system. The method includes importing the configuration data file to the content control system to fill in a void in a second configuration data file. The importing does not overwrite a preset identification number for at least one of an elevator, a kiosk, an elevator controller, a building, a job, and an elevator car.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a process safety management database stored on a server records procedure data structures which may be copied to create job data structures which define an activity or combination of activities that fall under the OSHA definition of “process.” A personnel member performing a step of a covered process under OSHA regulations may use a client application from a client computer to track the progress of those steps, which may be transmitted by a server application to client computers of other personnel members in real-time while each client computer is in a different location. Upon completion of each step of a covered process, the server application may record the job data structure in a fixed state in fulfillment of regulatory certification requirements.
