Abstract: A telecommunication network management system. The system comprises an incident reporting application that creates incident reports pursuant to alarms on network elements of a telecommunication network and wherein one of the incident reports is associated with a large-scale event (LSE), wherein the LSE incident report identifies alarms at a plurality of different network elements as associated with the LSE; and an incident management application that analyzes attributes of cell sites identified in the LSE incident report as impacted by the LSE, determines that at least 75% of the cell sites receive backhaul service from a same alternative access vendor (AAV) and that at least one backhaul circuit of the at least 75% of the cell sites is in an alarmed state, causes the incident reporting application to record a root cause of the LSE incident report as an AAV fault.

Abstract: A system and method for the automatic and continuous high-speed measurement of color and geometry characteristics of solid shaped particles. The system includes a shaped particle feeder that sorts and aligns singularized particles and feeds them onto a means for moving the singularized shaped particles to a color inspection station and a shape inspection station. The color inspection station provides for measuring the color of each singularized shaped particle and the shape inspection station provides for measuring the geometry characteristics of each singularized shaped particle. This information is analyzed by a master computer with the statistical information displayed.

Abstract: An intelligent, autonomous interior cleaning robot capable of autonomously mapping and cleaning multiple rooms in a house in an intelligent manner is described. Various combinations of passive and active sensors may be used to perform mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance. In particular, the robot uses stereo cameras with a static projected light pattern to generate 3D data. In addition, the robot may use optical sensors in various locations, laser ToF sensors, inertial measurement units and visual odometry to enhance the localization and mapping capabilities.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a body of filter media, a seal, and a compression ring. The body of filter media having a first end surface, a second end surface spaced apart from and opposing the first end surface, and an outer surface extending between the first end surface and the second end surface. The seal surrounds the first end surface. The compression ring is disposed about the second end surface. The compression ring includes a first channel configured to allow fluid communication between the second end surface and the outer surface.

Abstract: A machine for filling bags with a granular product includes a filling station. The machine further includes a supporting device for supporting bags below the filling station. The supporting device includes an assembled supporting surface pivoting on a pivot shaft, and actuating means. The actuating means are a motor the angular position of which is controlled by control means. The supporting surface has a first end, arranged upstream of said filling station in the forward movement direction of the bags, and a second end, arranged downstream of said filling station in the forward movement direction of the bags. The supporting surface can pivot in an alternating manner around said pivot shaft for moving the base of the bag which is located in the filling station in operation during filling. A method for filling said bag can also be employed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamic, data-driven consolidation of user interface interactions requesting roadside assistance. The method includes identifying a data objective requiring user data, accessing user data, and determining whether the user data satisfies a confidence threshold. Based at least in part on the confidence threshold determination, one of a first data objective representation and a second data objective representation is displayed. A request for roadside assistance—following satisfaction of the confidence threshold—is also issued.

Abstract: A child safety device for medication dispenser including a bottom cap assembly, a top cap assembly. The bottom cap assembly is secured on top of a medication dispenser such as prescription bottles. The bottom cap assembly further includes pawls and a lever lock. On a top surface, the bottom cap includes at least one dosing aperture and dosage regimen indicia. The top cap assembly includes a top cap having an internal ratchet gear that, when mounted upon the bottom cap assembly, interacts with the pawls to permit rotation in only one direction. The top cap further includes stops that are configured to affix the top cap in predetermined positions. The present invention has a 2-step process, by depressing the arm lever to disengage it along the ratchet and pawl system. The user would then twist to move the cap to its respective indicia for its desired scheduling or to their dispensing opening.
