Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a functional documentation module are disclosed. A repository stores a list of URLs corresponding to one or more applications and a list independently executable programming languages for running an application. A receiver receives a request for creating a new URL. A processor causes a GUI to display selectable URLs from the list of URLs, selectable components from the list of independently executable programing languages, and a functional documentation; creates the new URL by selecting one or more desired URLs from the selectable URLs based on analyzing the functional documentation; independently tests only the created new URL for running the application without testing the selectable URLs and their underlying components; and updates the repository with the new URL based on a positive test result.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are example embodiments of methods and systems for identifying manufacturing defects of a manufactured dentition model. One of the methods for performing quality control comprises: determining whether the manufactured dentition model is a good or a defective product based on a statistical characteristic of a differences model. The differences model can be generated based on differences between a scanned 3D patient-dentition data and a scanned 3D manufactured-dentition data. The scanned 3D patient-dentition data can be generated using 3D data of a patient's dentition, and the scanned 3D manufactured-dentition data can be generated using 3D data of the manufactured dentition model. The manufactured dentition model can be a 3D printed model.

The processor(s) may compare feature(s) extracted from the biometric image to feature(s) extracted from the profile image(s), and store the biometric image in the authentication profile based determining that the feature(s) from the biometric image match feature(s) from a profile image of the authentication profile.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed related to forming solder joints between printed circuits by using radiant heat. One example provides a method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising aligning a contact of a first printed circuit with a via of a second printed circuit. The method further comprises applying radiant heat via an infrared light source to a second surface of the second printed circuit, the radiant heat incident on the via to cause the via to conduct heat to solder located at an interface of the contact and the via, and after heating the solder to reflow, cooling the solder, thereby forming a solder joint between the contact of the first printed circuit and the via of the second printed circuit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a bounded group by query system that computes approximate time-sliced statistics for groups of records in a dataset according to a group by query. In embodiments, a single pass scan of the dataset is performed to accumulate exact results for a maximum number of groups in a result grouping structure (RGS) and approximate results for additional groups in an approximate result grouping structure (ARGS). RGSs and ARGSs are accumulated by a set of accumulator nodes and provided to an aggregator node, which combines the received structures to generate exact or approximate statistical results for at least a subset of the groups in the dataset. Advantageously, the disclosed query system is able to produce approximate results for at least some of the groups in a single pass of the dataset using size-bounded data structures, without predetermining the actual number of groups in the dataset.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaning system including a robotic unit including a traction arrangement that defines a ground plane, and a docking interface for receiving a handheld vacuum cleaner. The docking interface defines a suction port, an electrical port, and a predefined interface geometry. The docking interface is reconfigurable from a first configuration for engaging with a first handheld vacuum cleaner, and a second configuration for engaging with a second handheld vacuum cleaner which is different to the first handheld vacuum cleaner. Conveniently, the system includes a robotic unit or module that is dockable or engageable with multiple handheld vacuum cleaners, thus allowing some flexibility with the type of machine that they are able to use with the robotic unit. This provides a cost effective solution for the user, because if the user upgrades their handheld vacuum cleaner that new handheld vacuum cleaner can still be used with the robotic unit.

Abstract: A circumcision device is provided by the present invention. The device comprises two jaws configured to crush a foreskin between them along a crush region transverse to a foreskin and transverse to a general direction in which a penis being circumcised extends. The jaws are movable between an open inoperative position and a closed operative position in which a clamping and crushing force may be exerted to promote hemostasis within the crush region. The device includes a cutting assembly capable of traversing and severing a crushed foreskin within or adjacent the crush region. The invention extends to a glans penis protector comprising a handle separable from a transverse glans penis engaging cover so that the handle can be separated from the glans penis engaging cover during a circumcision procedure.
