Patent number: 12487587Abstract: Techniques and systems for performing a perception analysis for a robotic stowing operation are described. An example technique includes obtaining, via multiple sensors, multiple first images, wherein each first image is an image of a different container of an inventory holder within a robotic workcell. A first machine learning (ML) and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine displacement locations for the containers of the inventory holder. A second ML and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine content signatures for the containers. A plan is generated for stowing a first item into a first container, based at least in part on the plurality of content signatures and the plurality of displacement locations. A robotic apparatus is controlled to stow the first item into the first container, based on the plan.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Parker Owan, Sisir Babu Karumanchi, Kristina Lisa Klinkner, Xin Wang, Baoyuan Liu, Joshua Rosenberg Hooks, Rahul Balakrishna Warrier, Andres Camilo Cortes, Siyu Dai, Aaron Joseph Parness, James Schmidt, Andrew Stubbs

Publication number: 20240285884Abstract: A respiratory treatment device comprising at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive air into the at least one chamber, at least one chamber outlet configured to permit air to exit the at least one chamber, and a flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet. A restrictor member positioned in the flow path is moveable between a closed position, where a flow of air along the flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of air along the flow path is less restricted. A vane in fluid communication with the flow path is operatively connected to the restrictor member and is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to the flow of air along the flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Applicant: Trudell Medical InternationalInventors: Adam Meyer, Raphael Kopala, Chris Dobson, James Schmidt, Neritan Alizoti
