  • Publication number: 20240121472
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; computer readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the computer readable instructions to: generate a plurality of errors by comparing (a) a plurality of watermarks adjusted by offsets and (b) reference data, the adjusted watermarks corresponding to watermark data with inaccurate timing information for media; identify an offset of the offsets based on the plurality of errors; and adjust timing information of a watermark of the watermarks using the offset to increase an accuracy of the timing information.

  • Publication number: 20230258023
    Abstract: A selectively operable door (50) for a robotic vehicle (10) may include a door frame disposable in a barrier dividing two areas in which the robotic vehicle (10) is enabled to travel, a door body (54) hingedly connected to the door frame (52), and a latching assembly configured to alternately allow movement of the door body (54) such that the robotic vehicle (10) to enabled to pass through the selectively operable door (50) via displacement of the door body (54) and prevent movement of the door body (54) such that the door body (54) is retained in a closed state. The latching assembly may include an automatic lock configured to define a release position in which movement of the door body (54) from the closed state is allowed, and a capture position in which movement of the door body to the closed state is allowed and movement of the door body from the closed state is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20230256462
    Abstract: A robotic vehicle (10) may include a chassis supporting a storage tank (14) in which an aqueous solution is contained, a mobility assembly operably coupled to the chassis to provide mobility for the robotic vehicle (10) about a service area, a positioning module configured to provide guidance for the robotic vehicle (10) during transit of the robotic vehicle (10) over the service area, a spray assembly and control circuitry. The spray assembly may be operably coupled to the storage tank to spray the aqueous solution via a nozzle and a pump during the transit of the robotic vehicle (10) over the service area. The control circuitry (12) may be operably coupled to the spray assembly. The control circuitry (12) may be configured to determine characteristics of the nozzle to control an amount of the aqueous solution applied to the service area based on the characteristics of the nozzle.
