Abstract: A system identifies a first text fragment as being under evaluation, wherein the first text is in at least a first document being compared to a second document using a first semantic model. The system compares the first text fragment to one or more text fragments of the second document. The system identifies top-k text fragments in the second document that are most similar to the first text fragment based on processing using the first semantic model. The system presents a user, via a graphical user interface (GUI), the top-k text fragments in visual proximity to the first text fragment.

Abstract: Text blocks are semantically compared, and a semantic score is provided to a user. The semantic score is based on application of a machine learning model trained on a text corpus. One or both of the two text blocks may have one or more words that do not appear in the training text corpus (skip-words). Skip-words are used, rather than discarded, to adjust the semantic score via, for example, a penalization function. The user provides feedback about the accuracy of the adjusted semantic score, and the feedback is used to perform supervised learning model.

Abstract: A real time fish movement and location guide system and method provides an output to an angler of a real time adjusted active fish depth range based upon a set of environmental conditions. Input data relating to the environmental conditions is received from the angler through a user interface and from Internet sources. In some embodiments, the input data is also used to provide outputs indicating weather fronts that will affect movement and location, and to provide lure recommendations and notifications that a change in lure is appropriate in view of changing conditions.

A cartridge can hold the sensors and provide repeatable penetration depths into a flow passage of the system. A medical tube has a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. One component can be a spirally wound elongate hollow body; the other component can be an elongate structural component spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. For example, one of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component may be an elongate structural component also spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body The tube need not be made from distinct components, however. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or may be employed for other medical uses.

Abstract: Systems for controlling scanning devices and capturing image data are provided. In some examples, image data may be received by a computing platform. The image data may be received via a first network and from another computing platform in wired communication with a scanning device. In some arrangements, image quality analysis may be performed and data may be extracted from the image data. The results of the data analysis, as well as the image data and extracted data may be transmitted, via a second network different from the first network, to an associate computing device. In some examples, input received by the associate computing device may be transmitted to the computing platform indicating whether the image is approved or rejected for further processing. If the image is approved, the image data and extracted data may be transmitted, via the second network, to another device for matching and further processing functions.

In this way, a hold recommendation screen may be presented on a mobile device display upon identification of a potential hold on one or more physical resource distribution document depositions. The screen may transmit information regarding the hold to the user based on real-time decisioning at the terminal. The user able to reverse the recommendation and cancel a specific resource distribution document deposition within a group of resource distribution documents based on the processing hold indication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for efficiently fulfilling product orders corresponding are described. Order items are divided into those which are to be automatically picked using an automated pick cell including a loader, such as a robotic arm, storage buffers and an apparatus for transferring the automatically picked items onto a robotic cart. The manually picked items are picked by a human picker guided by the robotic cart. The manual pick can occur before or after the automatic pick of items. In some embodiments whether items are to be automatically picked before or after the manual pick portion of an order depends on which ordering will allow for packing of the items corresponding to an order into the least number of receptacles, e.g., totes which are transported by the robotic pick carts.

Abstract: A toilet seat cover can be adhered to a toilet seat to help a child use the toilet. In embodiments, a toilet seat cover includes a plastic or other thin, flexible sheet having a central void defined therethrough and an adhesive coating on one surface. That surface may be temporarily adhered to a toilet seat to maintain the toilet seat cover in position. The child may then sit on the toilet seat cover to relieve himself, with the toilet seat cover screening the child from touching unsanitary surfaces of the toilet seat or toilet and suspending the child over the toilet bowl. Once the child has finished and is off the toilet seat cover, the cover may be removed by rolling or folding.

Abstract: Cassandra SSTable data is transformed to provide data rows that are a consistent size such that data in each row has a length that is contained within a selected fixed sized kilobyte segment for deduplication. Tables of a Cassandra cluster node are translated in parallel to JSON format using Cassandra SSTableDump and the table rows are parsed to provide data rows corresponding to the data in each table row. Each row of data is padded with a predictable pattern of bits such that the data row has a length corresponding to the selected fixed segment size and has boundary locations that correspond to multiple of the selected segment size. Since each row of data starts on a segment boundary, duplicate rows of data will be identified wherever they move within a table.

Abstract: A material handling system has a vertical lift two vertically aligned carriages that are independently positionable on a vertical support structure by respective drive systems. A processor subsystem selects one of the two carriages to move an article from at least one in-feed conveyor to a selected level of an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). The processor subsystem concurrently positions the other carriage to avoid a collision.

Abstract: An image item processing engine for image item exchange may receive an image item data packet including two image items, each including a digital image documenting an action for a recipient institution and associated metadata. The metadata may identify the image item sender and a country associated with an image item, the packet originator, or the recipient institution, at least one country associated with the second image item being different than a country associated with the first image item. The engine may apply sorting rules to determine item types for the first and second image items based on their metadata, determine a recipient institution for the packet based on the item types, assemble a data transfer packet including the digital images and metadata included in the first and second image items, and provide the data transfer packet to a transfer packet routing service for routing to the selected recipient institution.
