Abstract: Embodiments herein extract information from documents (e.g., scanned images of documents) to fields of a database or other collection of fields. The location and contents of blocks of text within the document are detected and then applied to a trained model to map a subset of the text to a set of target fields, where the target fields include one or more sets of repeated fields (e.g., corresponding to rows of a table). This mapping is presented to a user, optionally superimposed on an image of the document, to facilitate the user providing corrective feedback to the mapping. The mapping can then be updated, and the model trained to exhibit improved accuracy, based on the corrective feedback. The corrective feedback can include indicating the extent of a table and/or rows or columns thereof, facilitating correction of large numbers of field mappings.

Abstract: A guiding sheath has a braided layer for improved deflection characteristics and ring electrodes for electrical sensing, mapping and visualization, wherein lead wires for the ring electrodes are passed through lumened tubing position under the braided layer in a proximal portion of the guiding sheath shaft and above the braided layer in a distal portion of the guiding sheath shaft. Moreover, the hemostatic valve includes an improved friction ring with air vents to reduce the risk of air being introduced into the valve.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed toward a system and method relating to reconciliation security. A method for reconciliation includes determining, by a controller executing a Passenger to Bag Reconciliation (PBR) application, that a passenger of an international flight has failed to board a plane within an allotted time. A display device shows bag information, including Passenger Name Record (PNR), bag tag number(s), and other associated screening information. Bag Auto ID Transfer (BAIT) function recalls a bag image displayed on a Secondary Viewing Station (SVS) for TSO review. Based on the TSO's review of the bag image, a Bag Process Message (BPM) is updated to reflect that the bag is clear or not clear to fly without the passenger. Responsive to receiving, from the carrier, an indication that the bag has been pulled from the aircraft, the DCS sends a Baggage Unload Message (BUM) to the Automated Baggage System (ABS).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for temperature processing a food item. It should be noted that the description provided herein will primarily focus on cooking temperature processing, but cooking is referred to, the process for determining core temperature can also be used for chilling and/or freezing a food item. One implementation of the technology as disclosed and claimed, utilizes a combination of 3D profile scanning camera, mid-range infrared camera, high-resolution encoder-based positioning device, and cook profile settings in order to measure the physical attributes of the product related to the fully cooked state. The system is measuring at least two aspects that determine the temperature change within an object during the cook process and they are geometry and thermodynamic properties.

Abstract: An animal feed limiter (inhibitor) and methods of making and using the limiter are provided.

Abstract: An image processing method for harmonizing images acquired by a first camera and a second camera connected to a vehicle and arranged in such a way as their fields of view cover a same road space at different times as the vehicle travels along a travel direction is disclosed. The method includes: acquiring by a selected camera, a first image at a first time; selecting a first region of interest bounding a road portion from the first image; sampling the first region of interest; acquiring by the other camera, a second image in such a way that the road portion is included in a second region of interest; sampling the second region of interest; and determining one or more correction parameters for harmonizing images acquired by the first and second cameras, based on a comparison between the image content of the first and second regions of interest.
