Abstract: A method is disclosed for a sensing coordination device associated with one or more wireless sensing devices comprising a first wireless sensing device. The method comprises determining a threshold value for the first wireless sensing device, wherein the threshold value is for comparison with a difference between channel estimates of wireless sensing measurements of the first wireless sensing device, and causing application of the threshold value in control of operation of the first wireless sensing device for performing wireless sensing measurements. A method for the first wireless sensing device is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for an intelligent assistant (e.g., a chatbot) that can be used to enable a user to generate a machine learning system. Techniques can be used to automatically generate a machine learning system to assist a user. In some cases, the user may not be a software developer and may have little or no experience in either machine learning techniques or software programming. In some embodiments, a user can interact with an intelligent assistant. The interaction can be aural, textual, or through a graphical user interface. The chatbot can translate natural language inputs into a structural representation of a machine learning solution using an ontology. In this way, a user can work with artificial intelligence without being a data scientist to develop, train, refine, and compile machine learning models as stand-alone executable code.

Abstract: The chronograph mechanism includes a control device and a chronograph gear train designed to be driven directly or indirectly by a barrel, this chronograph gear train including a second-counter mobile and a mobile with a first precision corresponding to a first fraction of a second. The chronograph mechanism also includes at least one indicator which displays the seconds and first fractions of a second of the duration measured. The chronograph gear train includes an additional mobile (5) with a second precision corresponding to a second fraction of a second, which is driven by the mobile (3) for the first fraction of a second by a mobile (4) compensating the backlash; and the chronograph mechanism also includes an indicator for the second fractions of a second, which are smaller than the first fractions of a second, of the duration measured, which indicator is actuated by the additional train.

Abstract: Tourbillon mechanism for a watch having a turning cage mounted in pivoting manner in a first and second cage bearing lodged in fixed elements of the watch; an escapement mobile integral with the cage; and a regulating element in the form of a spiral balance capable of oscillating around a balance staff according to pulses received from the escapement mobile. The balance staff is mounted in pivoting manner in the balance bearings lodged outside the cage. The outer extremity of the spiral hairspring is fastened to the cage through a hairspring stud.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for accessing a sealed container, and in particular a sealed container which is at a pressure other than atmospheric and which generally contains blood or other bodily fluid. A piercer and a probe are provided which are mounted to an XYZ positioning mechanism and are controlled such that the piercer passes through a stopper of the container, forming a cut therein through which the probe may subsequently enter the container. A foot mechanism is provided which is held against the stopper or seal for the container during piercer or probe removal for stripping purposes and through which the probe and piercer pass, the size and shape of the foot being such that, for both piercing and probing operations, it is over only a single container. The piercer and probe are operated such that the one not being used is in each instance in a raised position relative to the one being used.

Abstract: An improved process for providing positive electrical connection between the shadow mask, the conductive coating and the aluminum film by way of the mask-supporting studs is disclosed. The process is for use in the manufacture of a cathode ray tube having a face panel including a rearwardly extending skirt with a seal land for attachment to a funnel having a mating seal land. The face panel and skirt receive an internal coat of electrically conductive dag. The face panel has an inner surface for receiving a pattern of discrete phosphor deposits overlaid with an electrically conductive aluminum film. The tube includes a shadow mask for color selection receiving a high voltage, and held dependent adjacent to the face panel by a plurality of metal studs extending inwardly from the skirt.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in the art of aluminizing the phosphor screens of image display devices such as television cathode ray picture tubes. An improved method comprises the application of a highly alkaline aqueous dispersion of a siliceous coating agent and a surfactant prior to aluminizing. The solution includes an acidic pH-lowering substance in an amount sufficient to adjust pH to a neutral range.
