Abstract: An equation is modeled within a data structure representing a tree with operands and operators of the equation represented as nodes of the tree. The structure of the tree represents the structure and semantics of the equation. The data structure includes or linked to executable code which permits components or subtrees of the data structure to be executed with output passed up through the tree to other executable code associated with other nodes of the tree. The data structure can be eagerly or lazily executed in whole or in part. In an embodiment, each node is represented as an object with attributes and methods. The methods set values on the attributes and/or initiate the corresponding executable code associated with the node. In an embodiment, at least one method permits comments or annotations to be set on one more attributes of a corresponding object.

Abstract: Factors of an equation are decomposed into additive values by factor. A total contribution value or total impact of each factor in the equation is determined. The total contribution value of each factor is integrated into a network service and/or user interface for analyzing how changes in values of each of the factors of the equation will impact the result of the equation.

Abstract: An oral treatment device and a method of using the same. The oral treatment device includes an intraoral mouthpiece configured for placement into a mouth of a user. The intraoral mouthpiece includes an arcuate wall having a front surface and a bite platform extending from the front surface. Furthermore, there is an alignment feature located on the bite platform to facilitate consistent positioning of the intraoral mouthpiece within the user's mouth in a repeatable manner. The alignment feature may have a top surface that is inclined upwardly moving in a direction away from the front surface of the arcuate wall. The intraoral mouthpiece may also include a color measurement sensor for obtaining a color measurement of a tooth of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a self-lifting robot with multi-jointed arm. The robot includes a multipart housing, a traction drivetrain capable of generating translational and rotational motion of the self-lifting robot on a working surface, and a deployment hook configured to release from a storage hanger, thus depositing the self-lifting robot onto the working surface, and configured to re-attach to the storage hanger, thus lifting the self-lifting robot off of the working surface. The robot also includes a multi jointed arm, and a grabber disposed from a free-rotating wrist joint at a distal end of the multi-jointed arm, and configured to grab, hold, and release one or more target objects.

Abstract: A system for performing software testing uses machine learning to extract features from a user interface of an app, classify screen types and screen elements of the user interface, and implement flows of test sequences to test the app. Training is performed to train the system to learn common application states of an application graph and to navigate through an application. In some implementations, the training includes Q-learning to learn how to navigate to a selected screen state. In some implementations, there is reuse of classifiers cross-application and cross platform.

Abstract: A robotic vehicle is provided with a novel wheel design and a virtual differential transmission. The novel wheels are generally rounded with scallops along the outer periphery permitting secure engagement of irregular terrain structures, such as the rungs of an inclined ladder. The virtual differential transmission employs rotational sensors in independently driven wheels to maintain information on the relative rotational position of left- and right-side wheels. When necessary, the relative rotational position information is used to selectively drive the left- or right-side wheel until the scallops in a left-side wheel are horizontally aligned with the scallops in a right-side wheel. Thus, the virtual differential transmission can realign the scallops in left- and right-side wheels to facilitate their mutual engagement with a terrain structure, such as a ladder rung.
