Abstract: A computer implemented method includes identifying an estimated time until full (ETF) metric indicative of an estimated time it will take until a tank of an agricultural harvester is full, at least to a threshold level, based at least on a yield flow rate metric, a tank capacity metric, a tank fill level metric, a crop moisture metric, an error correction metric, a crop type metric, a temperature metric, a humidity metric, one or more historical yield flow rate metrics and a model; and generating one or more control signals based on the ETF metric. The computer implemented method can further include identifying an estimated full location (EFL) metric, indicative of an estimated location at the worksite at which the tank of the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to the threshold level, based at least on a path metric, a travel speed metric, and the ETF metric.

Abstract: A robot for cleaning solar panels has a frame and a propulsion system for moving the robot on solar panels. The robot also has arms movably coupled to the frame, and a cleaning assembly coupled to each of the arms for cleaning the solar panels. The arms and cleaning assemblies further facilitate the transportation of the robot between solar panels that are discontinuous and spaced apart from each other. In addition, a water distribution system is included for distributing water during cleaning operations. A control system operates the robot and controls the propulsion system, arms, cleaning assemblies and water distribution system.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for profiling video output devices. A frameset is received from a video output device. A first characteristic of the frameset is profiled. A focus area within the frameset is identified based on the profile of the first characteristic. A second characteristic is profiled within the focus area. A baseline output profile for the video device is generated based at least on the profile of the second characteristic. The baseline output profile is stored in repository.

Abstract: Examples extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for disrupting object recognition functionality. Images can be altered in a manner that makes it difficult (if not impossible) for recognition algorithms to accurately recognize faces, vehicles, people, etc. in the images. Image alterations can be tailored to disrupt recognition algorithms while being imperceptible to the human eye and/or minimizing impact on other image processing systems. In some aspects, Machine Leaning (ML) frameworks and/or leaning-based generative/discriminative model techniques, such as, for example, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), are used to alter images.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for segmenting video stream frames. In one aspect, video stream frames are segmented into more relevant segments (e.g., including roadway) and less relevant segments (e.g., not including roadway). Different segments can be handled differently. For example, more relevant segments can be processed to identify vehicles, identify events, etc. and less relevant segments may be ignored. Accordingly, resources can be utilized more efficiently. In one aspect, a binary mask is generated from object data in one or more frames. The binary mask is applied to further frames blocking out less relevant frame segments in the further frames.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a structure by means of 3D printing, the method comprising the steps of extruding a polymer to form the structure on a platform (8), characterised in that the polymer is extruded, and the structure formed, in a liquid phase (12), and wherein the liquid phase is formulated to modify the structure being fabricated.

Abstract: A unitary, single-piece baking pan support clip for stacking one or more baking pans vertically to save space without contacting or damaging the contents of each stacked pan. Each clip is comprised of a thin, planar rigid bar having a vertical shaft, horizontal and vertical upper arms that contact and support the bottom surface and exterior sidewall of a baking pan and a base having a recess that secures the clips to the interior sidewall and lip bead of the lower pan. The base recess that is shaped as a cylindrical channel to securely snap or fit over the lip bead of the baking pan to which the clip is attached.
