Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting objects from a first video and inserting said objects into a second new background. In an embodiment, at least one hardware processor is used to receive a first video depicting a first scene comprising one or more objects and a background; identify the one or more objects in the first video; generating a first video layer by extracting the identified one or more objects from the background of the first video; receive a second video layer depicting a second scene; and merge the first video layer and second video layer to generate a composite scene, wherein the one or more objects of the first video layer overlaid on the second scene such that the one or more objects appear as part of the second scene.

Abstract: A surgical tool includes a drive housing having an input shaft arranged therein for rotation, an elongate shaft that extends from the drive housing, and an end effector operatively coupled to a distal end of the elongate shaft. A cable band is coupled to the input shaft and operatively couples the input shaft to a drive cable that extends to the end effector. Rotation of the input drive correspondingly moves the cable band and thereby controls longitudinal movement of the drive cable to articulate the end effector.

Abstract: A surgical tool includes a drive housing that houses a plurality of drive cable capstans, an elongate shaft that extends from the drive housing, and an end effector operatively coupled to a distal end of the elongate shaft. A plurality of drive cables extend between the drive housing and the end effector, wherein each drive cable is associated with a corresponding drive cable capstan and rotation of the drive cable capstans correspondingly moves the drive cables to articulate the end effector. A manual release assembly is coupled to the drive housing and includes a release switch that is manually movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. When the release switch is manually moved to the engaged position, the drive cable capstans are rotated to move the drive cables and thereby manually articulate the end effector.

Abstract: A method is provided for providing an accurate, timely and precise pickup time for a multi-product order. A first item selection in an order is received from a user through an online order interface. A second item to be added to the order is received from the user through the interface. A first pickup time is calculated based on a factorial assessment, including locational dispersion of the items. This is provided to the user. The user can change or delete any of the items to modify the first pickup time before finalizing the order. Picking of the order is dynamically tracked at the picking facility and a second pickup time is calculated based on the completion of the picking of the order.
