Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for transferring layers of goods from a pallet onto a receiving surface and then down a discharge conveyor. The dispenser incorporates a vertically movable platform capable of bringing a first tier of goods in alignment with a rotary table. Sweeper arm moves the goods on to the table as it rotates. Goods accumulate on the rotary table and then become guided down a discharge conveyor for further processing.

Abstract: The technology described herein includes a system and/or a method for global hypothesis tracking. In some examples, a method generates one or more paired segments based on track data representing kinematic data of target objects. Each paired segment includes a list of tracks incompatible with the paired segment, which are tracks sharing common track data, and a likelihood score. The method generates a transition probability between each pair of the paired segments based on the list of tracks incompatible with the paired segment and the likelihood score associated with each paired segment. The method further generates one or more multi-segment tracks based on the one or more paired segments also based on the transition probability between each pair of the paired segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing supply chain financing that include receiving a request to finance an asset of a borrower, where the asset is associated with goods provided by a supplier to a buyer under the control of a supply chain/logistics entity. Attributes of a trade ecosystem of the supplier and/or the buyer are evaluated to determine whether to finance the asset. Financing of the asset is then established based upon the analyzed attributes of the trade ecosystem, where the terms of the financing permit control over movement of goods before and/or after default of the terms of the financing. Information associated with movement of the goods is monitored and analyzed to determine adjustments to at least one of the financing terms based on the information associated with movement of the goods.

Abstract: A method for measuring sensor bias and a method for estimating sensor bias is provided. Road location data is obtained. Sensor observation data is obtained. A sensor observation is identified that corresponds to an on-road target moving on a known road. A measurement of one-dimensional sensor bias is formed. As one-dimensional sensor bias measurements accumulate, multi-dimensional sensor bias is estimated. Sensor bias estimates may then be incorporated into a multiple hypothesis tracker system.

Abstract: A configurable wall is disclosed. In an example, the configurable wall includes a first hollow-formed module having an outer layer selected to portray a material of manufacture which is substantially different than a material with which the first hollow-formed module is manufactured. The wall also includes a second hollow-formed module having an outer layer selected to compliment the outer layer of the first hollow-formed module. The wall also includes an interconnect to secure the first module and the second module together.

Abstract: A cell for the electrowinning of aluminum from molten salts has a cell bottom lining consisting partly of a refractory mass (4 ) and partly of carbon bodies (5). At least 30% and preferably 50% or more of the cell bottom area is occupied by the refractory mass (4). The carbon bodies (5) are level with the refractory mass (4) or are recessed therein.
