Abstract: Methods and systems for calibrating a transmission electron microscope are disclosed. A fiducial mark on the sample holder is used to identify known reference points so that a current collection area and a through-hole on the sample holder can be located. A plurality of beam current and beam area measurements are taken, and calibration tables are extrapolated from the measurements for a full range of microscope parameters. The calibration tables are then used to determine electron dose of a sample during an experiment at a given configuration.

Abstract: A fluid metering system for gas independent pressure and flow control through an electron microscope sample holder includes: a pressure control system that supplies gas; an inlet line providing gas from the pressure control system to the sample holder; an outlet line receiving gas from the sample holder; and a variable leak valve that controls gas flow in the outlet line. The gas flows from an upstream tank of the pressure control system through the sample holder and variable leak valve to a downstream tank of the pressure control system due to the pressure difference of the two tanks as the variable leak valve meters flow in the outlet line. Flow rates are established by monitoring pressure changes at source and collection tanks of known volumes with gas independent pressure gauges. A method of directing the gas flow to a residual gas analyzer (RGA) is also presented.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems of metadata management for reviewing data from microscopy experimental sessions. Image data from an experimental session is stored in an archive at one or more filepath locations, either locally or on a network. Metadata associated with the image data is stored in a database with a reference to the filepath where the raw image is stored, such that the metadata is associated in the database with the image data. A user can perform post-experimental filtering, sorting, and searching of the underlying image data using the metadata, which allows the image data to be analyzed without duplication of the image data and without manual review of each individual image. The filtered data is presented in an interactive timeline format.

Abstract: A request to modify a set of permissions (e.g., delete the permissions, replace the set of permissions with a different set of permissions) is received at a computing device. A set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources. The set of permissions are changed while the set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a graphical user interface that represents an arrangement of components in a room. Based on inputs from the user and/or default settings regarding one or more of the components, a visual representation of the room is generated for outputting to view on a display screen of s user device. The graphical user interface facilitates a user in designing and selecting components for the room.

Abstract: A method of operating a household appliance, where the household appliance includes a camera assembly operable to obtain an image, is provided. The method includes downloading a protected user detection software from a remote computing device to the household appliance. The method also includes unlocking a user interface of the household appliance. The method further includes detecting, with the camera assembly, a user at the household appliance after unlocking the user interface and using the protected user detection software to determine that the detected user is a protected user. In response to detecting the protected user, the user interface is locked.

Abstract: A blender system includes a container having a rotatable blade assembly therein, a lid covering an open end of the container, and a base with a motorized unit. When the container is coupled with the base, the motorized unit is adapted to drive rotation of the rotatable blade assembly. The lid includes a hinged actuator lever adapted to actuate the motorized unit. A detent extends from the hinged actuator lever and passes through a series of apertures and presses against a slidable actuator shaft disposed in the container and maintained in its position by a spring force, thereby depressing a switch for the motorized unit. A rotatable blade system includes cutting blade(s) and crushing blade(s). The crushing blade extends longitudinally outwardly from a hub. When the hub rotates in a first direction or second direction opposite the first direction, a face of the crushing blade is leading or trailing, respectively.

Abstract: Keypoints are predicted in an image. A neural network is executed that is configured to predict each of the keypoints as a 2D random variable, normally distributed with a 2D position and 2×2 covariance matrix. The neural network is trained to maximize a log-likelihood that samples from each of the predicted keypoints equal a ground truth. The trained neural network is used to predict keypoints of an image without generating a heatmap.

Abstract: Keypoints are predicted in an image. Predictions are generated for each of the keypoints of an image as a 2D random variable, normally distributed with location (x, y) and standard deviation sigma. A neural network is trained to maximize a log-likelihood that samples from each of the predicted keypoints equal a ground truth. The trained neural network is used to predict keypoints of an image without generating a heatmap.

Abstract: Food processing apparatuses having a drive unit which has more than one mode of operation, works with more than one food processing container, and/or may be operated in more than orientation are disclosed. The drive unit may be operated in first and second modes of operation. In some embodiments, the drive unit may be actuated in a different manner in the second mode of operation as compared to the first mode of operation. In some embodiments, the orientation of the drive unit in the second mode of operation is vertically flipped upside-down as compared to the orientation of the drive unit in the first mode of operation.

Abstract: Image processing techniques for rendering holographic images are described. Image data captured from cameras can be converted into a triangle mesh. The triangle mesh may be processed by determining the location of edges, normals, and edge distances in the mesh. Mesh and edge smoothing can be performed on the mesh to reduce noise and jagged edges. Additional mesh cleanup and simplification can be performed to reduce the number of vertices and triangles and enhance the qualify of the mesh. Data from the resulting mesh can be transmitted to a receiving device where the mesh data is used to reproduce a holographic image of the image data captured by the depth sensors.

Abstract: A repurposing system tracks tracking demand information associated with various types of used hardware components and also tracks characteristics of hardware inventory in use at one or more facilities. The tracked characteristics of the hardware inventory are used to generate a forecasted supply of used hardware components expected to arrive at a repurposing facility, and the tracked demand information is used to determine a collection of route options available to each used hardware component in the forecasted supply. A carbon equivalent savings is computed in association with each route option available to each hardware component and used to dynamically select one of the available route options for each hardware component.
