  • Publication number: 20240140704
    Abstract: An automated carrier system is disclosed for moving objects to be processed. The automated carrier system includes a discontinuous plurality of track sections on which an automated carrier may be directed to move, and the automated carrier includes a base structure on which an object may be supported, and at least two wheels assemblies being pivotally supported on the base structure for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position to effect a change in direction of movement of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 10594712
    Abstract: A threat detection model creation computer receives normal monitoring node values and abnormal monitoring node values. At least some received monitoring node values may be processed with a deep learning model to determine parameters of the deep learning model (e.g., a weight matrix and affine terms). The parameters of the deep learning model and received monitoring node values may then be used to compute feature vectors. The feature vectors may be spatial along a plurality of monitoring nodes. At least one decision boundary for a threat detection model may be automatically calculated based on the computed feature vectors, and the system may output the decision boundary separating a normal state from an abnormal state for that monitoring node. The decision boundary may also be obtained by combining feature vectors from multiple nodes. The decision boundary may then be used to detect normal and abnormal operation of an industrial asset.

  • Patent number: 9990614
    Abstract: A machine (10) is operative to carry out financial transfers responsive to data included on data bearing records including user cards. The machine includes a user interface (15) including a display (24). The user interface includes a card reader (16) which is operative to read data on user cards which identify at least one of user and a user's financial accounts. Records of the financial transfers are provided by a printer (30). A touch screen display module (608) is operative to securely receive manual inputs and/or card data. The touch screen display module includes a contact surface that can be electronically contoured to provide outputs that can be perceived through finger contact with the contact surface.

  • Patent number: 4482817
    Abstract: A bilateral, low loss, wide band, switching circuit controls the transfer of a signal between two terminals. The balance points of a bilateral current gate connect to the terminals. A rectifier forward-biases the bilateral current gate when a controllable switching element forms a return path from the bilateral current gate to the rectifier. When the rectifier is energized, control circuitry closes the conductive path through the switching element to forward-bias diodes in the bilateral current gate so it operates as a modulator in which the signal to be switched is modulated onto the bias current from the rectifier.
