Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to automatically loading a plurality of hazardous entities into a hazardous-entity container. Such automatic loading is performed by: i) lifting a selected hazardous entity of a plurality of hazardous entities from a stowed position to an elevation of a corresponding hazardous-entity portal of the hazardous-entity container; ii) sensing relative alignment the selected hazardous entity with respect to the corresponding hazardous-entity portal iii) aligning the selected hazardous entity with the corresponding hazardous-entity portal based on the relative alignment sensed by the alignment sensor; iv) evaluating whether an insertion condition is met based at least in part on the relative alignment sensed by the alignment sensor; and v) inserting the selected hazardous entity into its corresponding hazardous-entity portal if the insertion condition is met.

Abstract: A system including: a container that is arranged to enclose, at least in part, an object; a monitoring device that is disposed inside or on an exterior surface of the container and configured to monitor the object; a notification device that is coupled to the container, the notification device including: (1) an output unit that is arranged to provide a first indicator and a second indicator, (2) a memory that is configured to store a first threshold, and (3) a processing circuitry that is configured to: establish a connection with the monitoring device; receive a first parameter value from the monitoring device, the first parameter value corresponding to a parameter of the object that is monitored by the monitoring device; detect, based on the first parameter value, whether the parameter has crossed the first threshold; and turn on the first indicator when the first threshold is crossed.

Abstract: A system includes and maintains a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm is trained to identify non-targets in an environment. The system receives an image of the environment, and identifies the non-targets in the image using the trained machine learning algorithm. The system then generates a firing cut out map for overlaying on the image of the environment based on the identified non-targets in the image of the environment.

Abstract: An effector launching system includes an environment that has external components located within the environment. The effector launching system may include a modular controller located in the environment of an effector launching system and the external components may be located in the environment externally to the modular controller for executing an effector launching sequence. The modular controller may include a core processor module that is configured to execute a plurality of different effector launching sequences using the external components and a plurality of converting modules that each have an electro-mechanical interface and is connectable between the core processor module and one of the external components. The plurality of converting modules are configured to send and receive data with the core processor module and the plurality of external components.

Abstract: Different segments of a web page may display multiple values from different fields from a managed component. In dynamic web pages, processing is done in top down order. A web page may have multiple segments. The method uses hidden fields in the web page and a new manager superclass. The manager superclass is extended by a managed component. The managed component is displayed in multiple segments of a web page. The manager superclass provides a segment entry method, a segment exit method, and a component entry method to the managed component. The manger superclass provides getter and setter methods for properties of the visual component. An index is assigned to each segment in the web page. The manager superclass defines a segment index method that allows the managed component to query which of the segments in the web page is active when a getter or setter method is invoked.

Abstract: An effector launching system and method may be used on a moving ship deck. The launching system includes a plurality of effectors and a robot that is arranged on the moving platform. The robot includes a moveable robot arm having an end portion that is engageable with the effectors for firing the effectors during engagement. The system includes a sensor for detecting movement of the moving platform and a motion stabilization controller that is in communication with a processor and the robot arm for controlling movement of the robot arm. The motion stabilization controller adjusts the robot arm in response to the detected movement of the moving platform to maintain the end portion in a static position when the effector is fired.

Abstract: An effector launch system includes a stowable effector launcher housing having a housing panel configured for coupling with a vehicle, and one or more receptacle brackets movably coupled with the housing panel. The one or more receptacle brackets include one or more effector launcher sockets. The launch system further includes one or more effector launchers. Each effector launcher includes an effector received within an adapter housing. The stowable effector launcher housing is movable between deployed and stowed configurations. In the deployed configuration the one or more receptacle brackets extend from the housing panel and the one or more effector launchers are received within the one or more effector launcher sockets. In the stowed configuration the one or more effector launchers are removed from the one or more effector launcher sockets and the one or more receptacle brackets are stowed along the housing panel.

Abstract: A model view controller modeling language as an XML schema for creating and describing documents to be rendered on any server or client. The new modeling language contains distinct model, view, and controller sections as well as sections for header information, and session information. MVCML contains one or more forms where each form specifies a user interface hierarchy. The user interface part types are extensible, and all part types, whether they are contained in a core set or provided as supplied extensions to the core set, are specified and processed identically. The user interface layout mechanism can be specified, and new layout mechanisms can be added and form designers have the ability to explicitly specify which part types and layout mechanisms to use. An action may be associated with more than one user interface event. An extensible set of action types, such as ‘submit’, ‘property to property linking’, or ‘process control logic’ can be specified.
