Abstract: A nanosecond pulser system is disclosed. In some embodiments, the nanosecond pulser system may include a nanosecond pulser having a nanosecond pulser input; a plurality of switches coupled with the nanosecond pulser input; one or more transformers coupled with the plurality of switches; and an output coupled with the one or more transformers and providing a high voltage waveform with a amplitude greater than 2 kV and a frequency greater than 1 kHz based on the nanosecond pulser input. The nanosecond pulser system may also include a control module coupled with the nanosecond pulser input; and an control system coupled with the nanosecond pulser at a point between the transformer and the output, the control system providing waveform data regarding an high voltage waveform produced at the point between the transformer and the output.

Abstract: A method for creating point cloud representations for a point cloud generated based on images, wherein the method comprises receiving a point cloud generated based on images, retrieving, from a user, selection criterion information, wherein the selection criterion information is related to the quality information comprised by the points of the point cloud, and filtering the generated point cloud and creating a filtered-point-cloud representation to be displayed while leaving volume and substance of the generated point cloud unchanged, wherein for each point of the point cloud its quality information is compared with the retrieved selection criterion information and only those points of the point cloud are used for the creation of the filtered-point-cloud representation to be displayed, which have a quality information fulfilling the retrieved selection criterion information, and displaying the filtered-point-cloud representation to the user.

Abstract: A system for interacting with an animal provides a local device to provide a cue to the animal and generate characteristic data of the animal, a remote network in communication with the local device and configured to receive the characteristic data and generate first feedback data, and execute a machine learning algorithm to generate learned data based on the first feedback data and the characteristic data; wherein the local device is further configured to operate according to the learned data.

Abstract: The pet enrichment device comprises a housing, a microcontroller, a treat dispenser, an interface device, and a detection device. The pet enrichment device provides automated training by displaying videos and/or projecting audio via the interface device. The detection device captures, analyzes, and tracks the specific movement and specific positions of the animal. If a command is performed correctly, the treat dispenser may dispense an edible object.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are disclosed for monitoring inventory in an inventory control framework. In accordance with one embodiment, information relating to a load supported by a storage unit may be input into the storage unit. The storage unit may have a weight sensor for sensing the weight of the load supported by the storage unit. Information may then be obtained from the storage unit about the load supported by the storage unit as well as information identifying the storage unit. Inventory information relating to the load my be updated based on the information obtained from the storage unit.

Abstract: A system and method that enables users operating originating devices, such as PC's, laptop computers, PDA's, pocket PC's, cell phones, etc., to print documents, images, and Web pages via a “driverless” print server (DPS) system without requiring any printing device drivers to be loaded on the originating device. The server system utilizes a table driven mechanism to process and handle various printer events generated by various software applications pertaining to the documents desired to be printed by operators of the originating devices. Print data corresponding to a document is then directed over various networks to a selected target printer. The system provides two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the originating device as well as two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the target printers.
