  • Publication number: 20240409018
    Abstract: A vehicle for package delivery is provided. The vehicle includes one or more processors; a tile floor system connected to the one or more processors, the tile floor system comprising a plurality of tiles with actuators that individually move containers thereon, and in a first arrangement a first tile is associated with a first container; at least one imaging device; and a memory. The processors determine an identifier for a package, receive first image data associated with the package from the imaging device, determine a first association of the package with the first container based on the first image data, determine a first delivery route that includes a first stop associated with the identifier for the package, and rearrange the containers by the tile floor system into a second arrangement based on the first delivery route prior to the first stop of the first delivery route.

  • Publication number: 20240263114
    Abstract: Provided are methods, devices, and systems for measuring aquatic biomass in an aqueous liquid, optionally for the cultivation, growth optimization, and harvest of an aquatic biomass for plant protein production. In particular, measurements of aquatic biomass density are based on light absorption of the aquatic biomass. The aquatic biomass includes an aquatic organism such as Lemna, including Lemna minor. The plant protein isolates include a RuBisCO protein.

  • Patent number: 12056758
    Abstract: Items are identified from one or more catalogues and images of the items are obtained. A dynamically rendered Virtual Reality (VR) store is constructed from the images and from images of objects/structures associated with a store. The item images that populate the VR store can be customized to a given customer and/or a given store. A VR session is established with a customer within the VR store, the item images can be selected, examined, and purchased during the session by the customer as the customer navigates through the VR store. Specialized rooms during the VR session allow the customer to interact in real time with other customers shopping via other VR sessions. The customer and other customers are rendered as avatars within the specialized room. A designated avatar or automated chatbot provides automated and real time assistance to the customer during the VR session.

  • Patent number: 9790688
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for detecting defects in building structures is provided. The apparatus includes a detector operable to determine an indication of the defect; and a transmitter operable to wirelessly transmit the indication from the apparatus to a central controller. The system includes the detection unit; a locator operable to determine the location of the detection unit; and a memory for storing the indication and the location in association with each other. The memory may be part of a central controller in wireless communication with the detection unit. The apparatus or central controller may include a processor operable to determine from a plurality of measurements performed by the detection unit a resultant measurement vector indicating a direction from the detection unit toward the defect. The detection unit may be operable to autonomously change its location. A display showing resultant measurement vectors at various locations can be produced.
