Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for image recognition in which instructions are executable by a processor to dynamically generate simulated documents and corresponding images, which are then used to train a fully convolutional neural network. A plurality of document components are provided, and the processor selects subsets of the document components. The document components in each subset are used to dynamically generate a corresponding simulated document and a simulated document image. The convolutional neural network processes the simulated document image to produce a recognition output. Information corresponding to the document components from which the image was generated is used as an expected output. The recognition output and expected output are compared, and weights of the convolutional neural network are adjusted based on the differences between them.

Abstract: A disclosed gas turbine engine includes a first electric motor assembly that provides a first drive input for driving fan blades about an axis. A geared architecture is driven by a turbine section and is coupled to the fan section to provide a second drive input for driving the fan blades. A second electric motor assembly is coupled to rotate the geared architecture relative to a fixed structure for controlling a speed of the fan blades provided by a combination of the first drive input and the second drive input.

The apparatus further includes a first forward proximity sensor disposed at the front surface of the cleaning assembly adjacent to a first front corner of the cleaning assembly and a second forward proximity sensor disposed at the front surface of the cleaning assembly adjacent to a second front corner of the cleaning assembly. The first and second forward proximity sensors are angled inwardly towards a longitudinal axis of the cleaning assembly.

Abstract: A harvester (1) comprises a gantry (24) and a harvesting tool (22) with a cutter unit (52). The gantry (24) allows the cutter unit (52) to move so that the cutter unit (52) can approach and cut an individual crop from any direction in the horizontal plane. In this way, the direction of approaching and cutting can be selected so as to avoid damaging the surrounding crops.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided. In an example embodiment, a communication comprising form fields is received. A form field corresponding to first item information for a first item is identified. A textual item description for the first item is extracted from the form field. A code schedule is accessed and one or more codes are determined for the first item based on the textual item description and the code schedule. An item database is queried to identify second items that are relevant to the first item and a confidence level for each of the codes is determined based on the relevant second items. If a confidence level corresponding to one of the codes is greater than a configurable confidence level, a first code is selected from the codes. An item database is updated to reflect the first code being assigned to the first item.

Abstract: A system for introducing removable parts closely upon a part-receptive object without having had to accommodate the removable parts at the time of fabrication of said object and without having to materially affect the original integrity of said object in order to accommodate the removable parts: especially, while without limitation, so that selectable part(s) after fabrication of the part(s)-receptive object are, closely, fittable to the object in another exemplary embodiment or, closely, refittable to the object in another exemplary embodiment or, closely, retrofittable to the object in another exemplary embodiment.

Abstract: Techniques for calibration of image capturing devices are described herein. The techniques include capturing one or more images at a first target, capturing one or more images at a second target, capturing one or more images at a third target, capturing one or more images at a fourth target, and calibrating a multi-camera system based on the captured images.

Abstract: A mast assembly having a base, and a mast pivotally connected to the base for movement between a horizontal and an upright position. A linear actuator is connected between the base and the mast and is extensible to move mast about the pivot. A strut is selectively positioned between the mast and the base to inhibit pivotal movement toward the horizontal position during lifting of the mast. A plurality of abutments on the base permits selective connection between the actuator and the base. The strut position supports the mast while said actuator is moved between the abutments.

Abstract: A heat exchanger used for wind tunnel temperature control applications. The heat exchanger is a finned tube design with each tube aligned perpendicular to the wind tunnel flow direction but with the tube bundle aligned at an oblique angle to flow direction for increased surface area. Tube fins may be aligned with the bulk flow direction. The heat exchanger is built in modules with horizontal splitter plates separating each tube bundle. The benefit of this heat exchanger design for wind tunnel applications is the combination of low pressure loss and favorable heat transfer performance in a compact design, while maintaining flow quality consistent with stringent test requirements.
