Abstract: Systems and methods for informed mobility platform for an item processing supervisor within a distribution facility are disclosed. In one embodiment, a supervisor mobile terminal for electronically managing item processing activities associated with a distribution facility is provided. The terminal may include a transceiver circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with a server computer a plurality of sets of data relating to the item processing activities. The terminal may further include a user interface configured to display the plurality of sets of data and a controller in data communication with the transceiver circuit and the user interface. The controller may be configured to control the user interface to modify the at least one set of data and control the transceiver circuit to wirelessly communicate the modified data with the server computer such that the at least one set of data stored in the server computer is updated with the modified data.

Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).

Abstract: Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) apparatus 10 combines a photovoltaic panel (PV) panel 24 and solar air heater (SAH). The SAH includes body 12 with hollow interior 14 defining ducts 16a, 18a for air inlet 16 and air return 18. Jets 22 provide air to convey heat from the PV panel underside. Spaces between the jets provide drains 26 for warmed air to flow away. Flow modifiers/deflectors 124 can guide the airflow. A fan 42 pushes ambient air into the inlet 16 via air handling unit (AHU) 50. Return warm air flows via the AHU to escape via the ambient exhaust 40. A combined thermal transfer and storage unit 52 determines whether air from the PVT panel(s) diverts to the interior space. For cooler ambient conditions, the PVT apparatus can radiate heat to return cooled air into the space. The PVT apparatus can harvest condensation, heat/cool pools and industrial processes.

Abstract: There is disclosed a simulation system for simulating a respiratory system. The simulation system includes a variable resistance device that provides a variable resistance to the airflow it receives to simulate a variation in resistance for the respiratory system during breathing and a variable elastance device that provides a variable elastance to the airflow it receives to simulate a variation in elastance for the respiratory system during breathing.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for context aware predictive activity evaluation are described herein. A set of transaction variables may be identified for a predicted transaction. A set of inputs may be obtained corresponding to each transaction variable of the set of transaction variables. A value may be determined for each transaction variable using the set of inputs corresponding to each transaction variable of the set of transaction variables. The value for each transaction variable may be compared to a set of transaction models to select a transaction model for the predicted transaction. A probability may be calculated that the predicted transaction will be approved using the transaction model for the predicted transaction. The probability that the predicted transaction will be approved may be displayed on a display device.

Abstract: A wave energy converter (WEC) 10 has a body portion 18 with a face 20 and at least one flexible membrane 16 bounding at least part of a volume of a fluid to form a variable volume cell 22. The membrane is inclined from vertical providing a flow smoothed passage for wave energy from a wave 14 to travel over the WEC whilst deforming the at least one membrane towards the body to compress the fluid. The cell(s) can be submerged or floating. The inclination of the at least one membrane assists conversion of potential and kinetic energy of the wave to pressure within the fluid. Fluid pressure within the WEC cell(s) and/or system can be optimised to suit wave and/or performance conditions.
