Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) receive, from a first client station, (a) data related to the first client station and (b) a first image associated with a target location; (ii) based on the received data related to the first client station, determine a location signature associated with the first image; (iii) determine that the location signature associated with the first image has a threshold level of similarity to a location signature associated with a second image that is associated with the target location; (iv) evaluate at least the first image to determine progression of a construction-related activity at the target location; (v) based on the evaluation of at least the first image, determine that the construction-related activity at the target location has progressed a threshold amount; and (vi) transmit, to a second client station, a communication related to progression of the construction-related activity.

Abstract: A SiC MOSFET device with alternating p-well widths, including an undulating channel, is described. The undulating channel provides current paths of multiple widths, which enables optimization of on-resistance, transconductance, threshold voltage, and channel length. The multi-width p-well region further defines corresponding multi-width Junction FETs (JFETs). The multi-width JFETs enable improved response to a short-circuit event. A high breakdown voltage is obtained by distributing a high electric field in a JFET of a first width into a JFET of a second width.

Abstract: A method may include generating, by a camera having a view of an interior portion of a computer-numerically-controlled machine, an image comprising a pattern. The image can be transformed into a set of machine instructions for controlling the computer-numerically-controlled machine to effect a change in a material. The change can correspond to at least a portion of the pattern. At least one machine instruction from the set of machine instructions can be executed to control the computer-numerically-controlled machine to effect at least a portion of the change. The execution can include operating, in accordance with the at least one machine instruction, a tool coupled with the computer-numerically-controlled machine. The tool can be configured to effect the change on the material. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Abstract: An intelligence platform determines that a package was delivered to a location, and receives real-time information associated with the package or location. The real-time information includes sensor data received from one or more sensor devices disposed proximate to the package, or third party data received from one or more third party devices associated with a geographic region that includes the location to which the package was delivered. The intelligence platform determines, using a machine learning model, a score for the package based on the real-time information, where the score predicts a measure of vulnerability of the package, and determines whether to retrieve or protect the package based on the score. The intelligence platform selects an unmanned vehicle (UV) to retrieve or protect the package based on vehicular data, and transmits instructions to the UV to cause the UV to navigate to the package and retrieve or protect the package.

Abstract: A database system is operable to execute a query transaction to generate addendum part data updating a segment A target storage node receives a plurality of sets of buffered rows and a plurality of flush requests. The target storage nodes each of a plurality of addendum parts in response to receiving a corresponding one of a plurality of flush requests. The target node assigns a plurality of version numbers to the plurality of addendum parts. A coordinator operator execution module commits only a final addendum part having a most recent version number as the addendum part data for the segment.

Abstract: A method for training a GAN to transfer lighting from a reference image to a source image includes: receiving the source image and the reference image; generating a lighting vector from the reference image; applying features of the source image and the lighting vector to a generative network of the GAN to create a generated image; applying features of the reference image and the lighting vector to a discriminative network of the GAN to update weights of the discriminative network; and applying features of the generated image and the lighting vector to the discriminative network to update weights of the generative network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of CD137. The invention also includes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptide ligands and drug conjugates and to the use of said peptide ligands and drug conjugates in preventing, suppressing or treating a disease or disorder mediated by CD137.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence-based system and method for automatically generating and adjusting tags associated with one or more UI/UX related components or features is provided. Analysis may be performed on the data collected by the one or more tags so that design change recommendations can be dynamically recommended and/or implemented. When design changes are implemented, the system may automatically reconfigure or adjust all relevant tags. The AI-based system may be a standalone platform or may be incorporated into existing UI/UX programs.

Abstract: An intelligence platform determines that a package was delivered to a location, and receives real-time information associated with the package or location. The real-time information includes sensor data received from one or more sensor devices disposed proximate to the package, or third party data received from one or more third party devices associated with a geographic region that includes the location to which the package was delivered. The intelligence platform determines, using a machine learning model, a score for the package based on the real-time information, where the score predicts a measure of vulnerability of the package, and determines whether to retrieve or protect the package based on the score. The intelligence platform selects an unmanned vehicle (UV) to retrieve or protect the package based on vehicular data, and transmits instructions to the UV to cause the UV to navigate to the package and retrieve or protect the package.

Abstract: A network-connected security device is communicatively coupled to an audio/video (A/V) recording and communication device having a camera and a speaker. A method receives video data captured by the camera, and performs an object recognition algorithm upon the received video data to identify an object therein. The method performs a table lookup using the identified object, into a data structure that associates objects with at least one description of a predefined voice message. The method selects a description of a predefined voice message associated with the identified object, and transmits the selected description's predefined voice message to the A/V recording and communication device for output through the speaker.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which cash deposits may be made at merchant locations who support such deposits. Using a mobile phone or other hand-held device, a bank customer requests a cash deposit from a banking app, receives a barcode on the mobile device, the barcode containing embedded information indicating the cash deposit amount, and presents the barcode to the merchant, along with the cash to be deposited. Once the transaction with the merchant is complete, the account of the bank customer's account is credited with the cash amount. The bank uses behavioral and historical data of the bank customer to customize a cash deposit limit for the customer.

Abstract: A dunnage conversion machine converts a sheet stock material into a dunnage product that is relatively thicker and less dense than the stock material. The conversion machine includes a conversion assembly that draws the sheet stock material therethrough and randomly crumples at least a portion of the sheet stock material. Before severing a discrete dunnage product of a desired length from the substantially continuous length of sheet stock material, the random crumpling is minimized or eliminated in an area to be cut to reduce or eliminate the production of scrap shards of sheet stock material during the cutting operation.
