  • Patent number: 11977904
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a robotic process automation (RPA) design application provides a user-friendly graphical user interface that unifies the design of automation activities performed on desktop computers with the design of automation activities performed on mobile computing devices such as smartphones and wearable computers. Some embodiments connect to a model device acting as a substitute for an actual automation target device (e.g., smartphone of specific make and model) and display a model GUI mirroring the output of the respective model device. Some embodiments further enable the user to design an automation workflow by directly interacting with the model GUI.

  • Publication number: 20240036165
    Abstract: An electronic device may include radar circuitry. Control circuitry may calibrate the radar circuitry using a multi-tone calibration signal. A first mixer may upconvert the calibration signal for transmission by a transmit antenna. A de-chirp mixer may mix the calibration signal output by the first mixer with the calibration signal as received by a receive antenna or loopback path to produce a baseband multi-tone calibration signal. The baseband signal will be offset from DC by the frequency gap. This may prevent DC noise or other system effects from interfering with the calibration signal. The control circuitry may sweep the first mixer over the radio frequencies of operation of the radar circuitry to estimate the power droop and phase shift of the radar circuitry based on baseband calibration signal. Distortion circuitry may distort transmit signals used in spatial ranging operations to invert the estimated power droop and phase shift.

  • Publication number: 20230367702
    Abstract: A robot design interface comprises tools for testing a robotic process automation (RPA) workflow. Some embodiments automatically generate a mock workflow comprising a duplicate of an original workflow, wherein a set of RPA activities are replaced with substitute activities for testing purposes. Some embodiments expose an intuitive interface co-displaying the substitute activities in parallel to their respective original activities and enabling a user to configure various mock parameters. Testing is then carried out on the mock workflow.

  • Patent number: 11649389
    Abstract: A collection of compressible particles. The compressible particles are intended to be used for attenuating pressure build-up within a confined volume such as a trapped annulus in a wellbore. Each of the compressible particles is fabricated to collapse in response to fluid pressure within the confined volume, and comprises carbon. Particularly, each of the particles comprises a plurality of peripheral openings, permitting an ingress of wellbore fluids in response to an increase in pressure within a trapped annulus. The collection of compressible particles together has a reversible volumetric expansion/contraction of ?10% and up to 25% at pressures up to 10,000 psi. A method of attenuating annular pressure buildup within a wellbore using the collection of compressible particles is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230112414
    Abstract: Semantic matching between a source screen or source data and a target screen using semantic artificial intelligence (AI) for robotic process automation (RPA) workflows is disclosed. The source data or source screen and the target screen are selected on a matching interface, semantic matching is performed between the source data/screen and the target screen using an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model, and matching graphical elements and unmatched graphical elements are highlighted, allowing the developer to see which graphical elements match and which do not. The matching interface may also provide a confidence score of the individual matches, provide an overall mapping score, and allow the developer to hide/unhide the matched/unmatched graphical elements. Activities of an RPA workflow may be automatically created based on the semantic mapping that can be executed to perform the automation.
