Abstract: A technique for avoiding a dynamic obstacle in a vicinity of UAV while the UAV flies a mission along a planned route includes: receiving a wireless radio signal containing information related to the dynamic obstacle in an audible speech format; translating the audible speech format to a text format; analyzing the information to determine an identity of the dynamic obstacle and determine whether the information relates to a flightpath, speed, or heading of the dynamic obstacle; in response to determining that the information relates to the flightpath, speed, or heading of the dynamic obstacle, determining an updated flightpath, speed or heading for the dynamic obstacle; comparing the updated flightpath, speed, or heading to the planned route; and in response to detecting a conflict between the dynamic obstacle and the UAV based on the comparing, performing an action by the UAV to avoid the conflict with the dynamic obstacle.

Abstract: A technique for detecting and avoiding obstacles by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: querying a knowledge graph having information related to a dynamic obstacle that may be in proximity to the UAV when traveling along a planned route; comparing the location of the dynamic obstacle to the UAV to detect conflicts; and in response to detecting a conflict, performing an action to avoid conflict with the dynamic obstacle. The knowledge graph can be updated by receiving a VHF radio signal containing the information related to the dynamic obstacle in the audible speech format; translating the audible speech format to a text format using speech recognition; analyzing the text format for relevant information related to the dynamic obstacle; comparing the relevant information related to the dynamic obstacle of the text format to the knowledge graph to detect changes; and updating the knowledge graph.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer-readable medium having logic stored thereon is provided. The logic, in response to execution by one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), causes the UAV to perform actions comprising receiving at least one ADS-B message from an intruder aircraft; generating a intruder location prediction based on the at least one ADS-B message; comparing the intruder location prediction to an ownship location prediction to detect conflicts; and in response to detecting a conflict between the intruder location prediction and the ownship location prediction, determining a safe landing location along a planned route for the UAV and descending to land at the safe landing location.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for linking a point of care (POC) testing media and a test result form using image analysis. In some embodiments, a server receives an image of a diagnostic test result form and a POC diagnostic testing media. The server confirms that the diagnostic test result form and the POC diagnostic testing media are positioned in a predetermined position such that the patient's information and the patient identifier are visible in the image. Furthermore, the server verifies that the diagnostic test result form and the POC diagnostic testing media correspond to the patient. The server extracts the form ID and one or more values on the diagnostic test result form from the image. The server transmits the patient information, the patient identifier, the form ID, and the one or more values to a client device.

Abstract: A sludge drying bed for effective separation or decanting of water from sludge and the storage of treated sludge comprising of a sloping floor (6,7) to drain the water towards the sluice door (2) located in the front wall, two side-walls and a valve controlled filler inlet pipe (9) at the back wall where the sludge enters the bed. The sludge drying bed is covered by an openable pitched roof utilizing a breathable, waterproof, black membrane as roof material for ventilation, heat absorption and surface water runoff. The sluice door (2) contains alternating plates to facilitate the filling of the sludge drying beds and the decanting of the water at multiple levels within the sludge, with a sump (3) located at the front wall to facilitate the efficient removal of the dried sludge from the beds. A telescopic handle, sludge drying bed cleaning tool is provided to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the sludge drying bed. The sludge drying beds are modular in design.
