Abstract: A filtering device for an evacuation station includes a filter bag configured to collect debris evacuated from a cleaning robot by an evacuation station. The filtering device includes an interface assembly configured to interface with the evacuation station. The interface assembly includes (i) a base attached to the filter bag along an opening of the filter bag, (ii) an access door configured to provide or limit access to a space within the filter bag depending on whether the access door is in an open position or a closed position, and (iii) one or more hinges connecting the base to the access door. The access door is rotatable around the one or more hinges from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: An apparatus for telephone line testing provides a tone generator that can be remotely switched to short or open via a cable pair by monitoring shorts on the cable pair itself to allow a simplified testing protocol with reduced technician travel and without the need for a remote controller carried by the technician.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a computing device architecture and method for executing computationally intensive attention mechanisms, as commonly utilized in transformer models for artificial intelligence. In an embodiment, the device includes a row of interconnected processing elements (PEs), each linked to dedicated coefficient memory units (CRAMs) and controlled by a central controller. By employing a diagonal-offset and transposition technique for matrix coefficients, the architecture enables efficient execution of Generalized Matrix-Vector (GEMV) operations.

Abstract: A notification service may act as an intermediary between message channels and/or other sources of actionable notifications and/or action items contained in messages, aggregating actionable notifications for a given recipient across multiple message channels and/or across multiple tools or services, sending notification messages with selectable response options to the recipient in a unified format, and processing the user's responses, e.g., by transmitting the responses back to the applicable sources.

Abstract: A notification service may act as an intermediary between one or more sources of text-based communications and intended recipients of action items contained in the communications. The notification service may analyze the messages posted to the source(s) to identify action items, determine multiple response options for each identified action item, generate structured notification messages including the response options for the action items and send them to the respective intended recipient users, and upon receipt of a user response that specifies a selected response option, automatically perform the associated action(s).

Abstract: A notification service may act as an intermediary between senders and recipients of actionable notification messages, generating such messages based on an actionable notification data structure including arguments for the message text, a list of recipients, and response options and associated actions, sending the messages to the respective recipients; and receiving and processing selected response options from at least some of the recipients to perform the associated actions.

Abstract: A hot dip method of forming an Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coating on a strip is disclosed. The method includes controlling the conditions in the molten bath to minimise the top dross layer in the molten bath. In particular, the method includes controlling top dross formation by including Ca and/or Sr in the coating alloy in the bath.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a remote controller for a vehicle includes at least one control element for controlling operation of at least one aspect of the vehicle when the vehicle is in a remote-control mode; an actuator connected the at least one control element for controlling a position of the at least one control element when the vehicle is in an autonomous operations mode; and a processing system for receiving a first control signal from the vehicle indicative of a state of operation of the vehicle. In operation, the processing system generates a second control signal to the actuator to cause the actuator to control a position of the control element such that it corresponds to and indicates the state of operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A bag-based filtering device for collecting debris from a cleaning robot via a debris evacuation station includes a filter bag configured to separate at least the portion of the evacuated debris from a flow of air generated by the evacuation station. The filtering device includes a conduit extending inward from an opening of the filter bag into the receptacle. The conduit is configured to pneumatically connect a receptacle of the filtering device with an inlet of the filtering device to direct the flow of air generated by the evacuation station through the filter bag to separate at least the portion of the evacuated debris from the flow of air.

Abstract: An aircraft includes an airframe with a thrust array attached thereto. The thrust array includes a plurality of propulsion assemblies that are independently controlled by a flight control system. A landing gear assembly is coupled to the airframe and includes a plurality of landing feet. An altitude sensor array includes a plurality of altitude sensors each of which is disposed within one of the landing feet such that when the aircraft is in the VTOL orientation, the altitude sensor array is configured to obtain multifocal altitude data relative to a landing surface. The flight control system is configured to generate a three-dimensional terrain map of the surface based upon the multifocal altitude data.

Abstract: A notification service may act as an intermediary between sources of text-based communications (e.g., message channels within a communication and collaboration platform) and the intended recipients of action items contained in messages posted to these sources. The notification service may store, for each action item, an instance of a universal actionable notification data structure specifying, among other things, response options for the action items, and may, for a specific user, aggregate action items intended for that user across multiple sources, aggregate and send notification messages generated from the respective instances of the universal actionable notification data structures to a central notification inbox accessible by the user, and upon receipt of a response from the user, generate and post a response message to the source from which the action item originated.
