Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to generate and select grasp proposals. In at least one embodiment, grasp proposals are generated and selected using one or more neural networks, based on, for example, a latent code corresponding to an object.

Abstract: Water-soluble unit dose articles that include a water-soluble fibrous non-woven substrate and a particulate treatment composition, the composition including capsules, where the capsules have a shell that includes inorganic material. Related methods of treating a fabric.

Abstract: A device for positioning a patient within an image volume of a cone-beam tomography system. The device includes a volume indicator adapted to indicate at least a front boundary of the image volume and having a horizontal indicator for horizontal alignment. The device also includes a head clamp adapted to position at least a portion of the head of the patient within the front boundary of the image volume indicated by the volume indicator.

Abstract: Polyurethane elastomers with reduced gas permeability are prepared by reaction of:a) diisocyanates,b) compounds with a molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 having at least two hydrogen atoms that are reactive towards isocyanates,c) compounds with a molecular weight of 61 to 499 having at least two hydrogen atoms that are reactive towards isocyanates, and optionallyd) further auxiliaries and additives,characterized in thati) the ratio of the isocyanate groups in a) to the sum of the isocyanate-reactive groups in b) and c) is between 1:0.80 and 1:1.05 (isocyanate:isocyanate-reactive), andii) the compound b) contains 3 to 15% by wt.

Abstract: An aircraft having a wing with trailing edge control flaps and with upwardly extending winglets at the outer wind ends, the winglets being provided with rudder surfaces, the craft has the usual control stick and left and right foot pedals, is improved by a cable directly connecting the rudder surfaces to the control stick for lateral control of the aircraft through operation of the rudder surfaces by the control stick. Another cable directly connects the trailing edge flaps to the foot pedals for further lateral control operation of the flaps through the foot pedals. The two cables are decoupled from each other and constructed so that the rudder surfaces can be controlled by the control stick even when the foot pedals hold the flaps in position, and the control flaps can be controlled by the foot pedals even if the control stick holds the rudder surfaces in position.

Abstract: A pliers for cuticles includes a pair of gripping arms having cutting blades, and an opening leaf spring positioned between the gripping arms and carrying at one end thereof plastic sliding element sliding against the inner surface of one of the gripping arms and anchored in an opening formed in the end portion of the leaf spring.
