Abstract: A camera mounted on a robotic device captures an image of a component affixed with a fiducial marker encoding an identifier. The fiducial marker is detected within the image, and the encoded identifier is extracted to uniquely identify the component. A pose of the component relative to the robotic device is determined based on the image. Using the determined pose, the robotic device positions the identified component at a designated installation location. Upon installation, status information for the identified component is recorded and transmitted to a server, enabling centralized tracking of installed components and real-time updates on installation progress.

Abstract: An automation system manages operations of a fleet of robotic devices at a construction site. The system receives a construction plan including site data and a list of tasks with dependencies. Based on the plan, the system generates a virtual representation of the construction site and allocates tasks to individual robotic devices. Each robotic device transmits operational status data and sensor data, which is received by the system and used to update the virtual representation. The updated representation reflects the status of each task and incorporates real-time site information. The system generates a visualization of the virtual representation and transmits it to a client device operated by a user, causing the visualization to be presented on the client device.

Abstract: A method includes calibrating, at a headset, a position of a headset user in a physical environment based on one or more virtual position indicators designated by the headset user in image data captured by one or more cameras of the headset. The method includes generating a visual representation of the physical environment based at least in part on the position. The visual representation schematically represents one or more structures of the physical environment and includes an avatar positioned in the visual representation to represent a location of a second headset user. The method includes displaying the visual representation of the physical environment at one or more display screens of the headset. The method also includes initiating a communication with the second headset user in response to a detection that the headset user selected the avatar from the visual representation displayed via the one or more display screens.

Abstract: A system may receive, from a monitored system, behavior data that indicates one or more types of computer activities requested by a requester. The system may identify a behavior profile that was generated during a training phase to learn behaviors of the requester, the behavior profile including information that identifies one or more computer activities that were monitored during the training phase. The system may provide, during a detection phase, the behavior data to the behavior classifier to detect whether the behavior data is anomalous. The system may generate an anomaly classification based on the behavior data and the behavior profile. The anomaly classification indicates a predicted anomalousness of the behavior data with respect to the behavior profile and is used to determine whether a mitigative action is to be taken in response to the one or more types of activities requested by the requester.

Abstract: An interactive graphic design system implements a single unified application programming interface to remotely add and update variables associated with a graphic design file. The interactive graphic design system receives an API request from a programmatic process executed on a remote device, the API request including one or more lists of key/value pairs. The interactive graphic design system accesses the graphic design file and edits the variables in the graphic design file based on the one or more lists of key/value pairs included in the API request. Upon determining that a new variable specified in the API request does not exist in the graphic design file, the interactive graphic design system adds the new variable with a new identifier to the graphic design file and provides the new identifier to the remote device in a response to the API request.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a computer-implemented method of predicting muscle fatigue in a subject by: (1) receiving data related to muscle fatigue in a muscle of the subject; (2) feeding the data into an algorithm to predict the muscle fatigue; and (3) outputting the predicted muscle fatigue. The algorithm my include: (a) an active compartment (M_A) model representing individual motor units (MUs) generating force at full capacity, (b) a resting compartment (M_R) model representing inactive MUs capable of rapid activation into force production, (c) a centrally fatigued compartment (M_FC) model representing fatigued MUs due to a central mechanism dominant at zero or near-zero joint velocities, with rapid recovery, and (d) a peripherally fatigued compartment (M_FP) model representing fatigued MUs due to a peripheral mechanism dominant at higher velocities, with slow recovery. Further embodiments pertain to a computing device for predicting muscle fatigue in a subject in accordance with such methods.

Abstract: The couch pocket may comprise a cushion and a pocket. The pocket may be located within the cushion and may therefore be hidden from view when not in use. The pocket may be accessible at the top of the cushion and may be adapted to retain a portable electronic device. As non-limiting examples, the portable electronic device may be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a game controller, or a TV remote control. The pocket may be sized to permit the portable electronic device to stand upright such that the portable electronic device may remain visible while residing in the pocket.

Abstract: A flexible furniture back with “U” clamp is a steel sofa or chair back having a U-shaped clamp secured to a sofa or chair base providing a back capable of horizontal movement. The furniture back has a plurality of steel cross-member supports. Additionally, the furniture back has padding about the front face and rear face of the back thereby providing cushioning.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments involving use of a multi-scale fiducial by an autonomously controlled aerial vehicle. A first image at a first location is captured, and a first fiducial at a first scale of a multi-scale fiducial is recognized within the first image. The autonomously controlled aerial vehicle is piloted relative to the multi-scale fiducial based at least in part on information contained within the first fiducial. A second image at a second location is captured, and a second fiducial at a second scale of the multi-scale fiducial is recognized within the second image. An action is then performed based at least in part on information contained within the second fiducial.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a multi-scale fiducial. A multi-scale fiducial may have three or more scales, where the child fiducials are nested or otherwise linked by a relative position to the parent fiducials. Multi-scale fiducials may facilitate target identification and tracking at varying distances, potentially without the aid of a scale-invariant recognition algorithm. One application of multi-scale fiducials may involve target identification for autonomously controlled aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A processor uses a dedicated buffer to reduce the amount of time needed to execute memory copy operations. For each load instruction associated with the memory copy operation, the processor copies the load data from memory to the dedicated buffer. For each store operation associated with the memory copy operation, the processor retrieves the store data from the dedicated buffer and transfers it to memory. The dedicated buffer is separate from a register file and caches of the processor, so that each load operation associated with a memory copy operation does not have to wait for data to be loaded from memory to the register file. Similarly, each store operation associated with a memory copy operation does not have to wait for data to be transferred from the register file to memory.

Abstract: A reactive correction to chamber impedance changes without the need to change the process recipe is disclosed. The reactive correction may be done automatically and repeatedly during processing. A control of RF power application to a plasma processing chamber is performed, so as to minimize reflected power and efficiently apply the RF power to the plasma. Autotuning of the RF power application is enabled without modifying a qualified process recipe. The autotuning can be applied using frequency matching and RF matching network tuning.
