Abstract: Systems and methods for segmenting scan data are disclosed. The methods include creating a graph from scan data representing a plurality of points in an environment associated with a ground and one or more objects, where the graph includes a plurality of vertices corresponding to the plurality of points in the environment, a first terminal vertex associated with the ground label, and a second terminal vertex associated with the non-ground label. A unary potential being the cost of assigning a vertex to a ground label or a non-ground label is assigned to each vertex, and a pairwise potential is assigned to each pair of neighboring vertices in the graph as a measure of a cost of assigning different labels. The methods include using the unary the pairwise potentials to identify labels for each point and segmenting the scan data to identify points associated with the ground.

Abstract: A biological reactor system treats concentrated contaminated water with a combination of upflow and downflow bioreactors that are downstream from a reverse osmosis or other concentrator. The system may have a fail safe configuration where flush water may be introduced to the reactors in the event of a power failure or when taking the reactors offline. Many reverse osmosis systems introduce antiscalant treatments upstream so that the reverse osmosis filters do not scale. However, such treatments result in superconcentrated conditions of the antiscalants in the contaminated water processed by the bioreactors. A flushing system may deconcentrate the bioreactors to prevent the antiscalants from precipitating and fouling the bioreactors.

Abstract: An intelligent keyboard for mobile devices and other computer devices. This intelligent keyboard provides the user with suggestions of relevant words or phrases that can be used to start or continue a conversation on text message, email and/or various web applications. The intelligent keyboard provides conversation suggestions that are appropriate for given application contexts, categories, and conversation types. The intelligent keyboard uses user generated content from application users, usage history, profile data, dialogue data, platform generated content from the system managers/owners, content collected from various websites/integrations and natural language content generated by artificial intelligence. Content is ranked by preference, contextual suitability, and performance. Content is further tagged for application context. User behavior, user data and artificial intelligence models continuously update the system so that the relevance and performance of keyboard content is optimized.

Abstract: Systems and methods for segmenting scan data are disclosed. The methods include receiving scan data representing a plurality of points in an environment associated with a ground surface and one or more objects, and creating a graph from the scan data. The graph includes a plurality of vertices corresponding to the plurality of points. The method further includes assigning a unary potential to each of the plurality of vertices that is a cost of assigning that vertex to a ground label or a non-ground label, and assigning a pairwise potential to each pair of neighboring vertices in the graph that is the cost of assigning different labels to neighboring vertices. The methods include using the unary potentials and the pairwise potentials to identify labels for each of the plurality of points, and segmenting the scan data to identify points associated with the ground based on the identified labels.
