Abstract: An operation system and an operation method that may improve operability are provided. The operation system includes a circuitry configured to determine a predicted value of an operator motion after a predetermined prediction latency from a current time based on a bio-signal using a prescribed machine learning model, the bio-signal captured from the operator and a controller configured to control a motion of a robot based on the predicted value. The operation method includes a step of determining a predicted value of an operator motion after a predetermined latency from the current time based on a bio-signal using a prescribed machine learning model, the bio-signal captured from the operator, and a step of controlling a motion of a robot on the predicted value.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses allow an insurance agency to track their current performance in managing existing customers and bringing in new customers. A tool may obtain information from a user regarding characteristics of the user's agency and/or agency goals. The tool may use this information to determine an agency's business efficiency. The tool may also provide advice regarding marketing spending and/or additional human resources needed. The tool may benchmark an insurance agency against other agencies in the market. The tool may also display how generated leads are converted to new business and/or income for an agency.

Abstract: Energetic materials comprising active components, a polymer binder matrix and a tackifying resin are useful as propellants; fuels, pyrotechnic materials and explosives; the tackifying resin improves the adhesion and dispersion of the active components throughout the binder resin.

Abstract: A wetsuit comprising a Yulex® foam layer, further includes a jersey layer of polypropylene (PP) fiber that is adhered to the Yulex foam layer, either on an outer surface (i.e. away from a wearer's body) or an inner surface (i.e. close to a wearer's skin), or both. A wetsuit disclosed herein can further include an inner lining of a synthetic or natural textile, which may or may not be patterned, and which can be adhered directly to the Yulex foam layer or to the PP jersey layer.

Abstract: A system, method and computer product for point to point communication within a shared environment. A process includes receiving an address from a first person to a second person, the second person using a computing system that provides at least limited aural or visual isolation for the second person within a shared environment. The process further incudes determining an identity of the second person from a datastore according to the address from the first person, the identity being associated with a computing system used by the second person. The process further includes generating a notification for the second person based on determining the identity, the notification comprising an electronic signal that is transmittable via a communication network to the computing device associated with the second person.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for performing a bandwidth reduction operation, comprising: receiving a plurality of streams of high-density image frames from a respective plurality of monitored devices; storing the plurality of streams of high-density image frames within a monitored content repository; identifying a subset of the plurality of streams of high-density image frames for increased scrutiny; and, presenting a portion of the subset of the plurality of streams of high-density image frames within a scalable viewport.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-usable medium are usable for receiving a video stream of image frames in a video format, decoding image frames of the video stream from the video format, for each respective frame of the image frames, upon completion of decoding of the respective frame, asynchronously encoding the respective frame into a lossless compression format, and asynchronously streaming all of the respective frames as encoded into the lossless compression format as a resulting video stream for display to a video display device.

Abstract: A gripper includes fingers, which are configured to interact with an object. A first mount supports a first finger. A second mount supports a second finger. A support plate supports these mounts. A cam plate is configured to interact with the first mount and the second mount to provide a first arrangement and a second arrangement. When the first and second mounts are in the first arrangement, the gripper is provided with a first distance between the first finger and the second finger when the gripper is in an open position to receive and/or release the object. When the first and second mounts are in the second arrangement, the gripper is provided with a second distance between the first finger and the second finger when the gripper is in the open position. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

The tool may also provide advice regarding marketing spending and/or additional human resources needed. The tool may benchmark an insurance agency against other agencies in the market. The tool may also display how generated leads are converted to new business and/or income for an agency.

Abstract: A processing vessel (1) provided with a material inlet (2, 3, 4, 5) and a processed material outlet (25) wherein the material flows continuously through the vessel which is split into a series of zones (6, 7, 8) through which the material passes wherein the zones are shielded from each other by controlling the rate at which the material flows and an increasing level of vacuum is applied inconsecutive zones and the system is provided with acoustic energy which imparts energy to the process material by virtue of the contact between the zone dividers and the process material and processing material in such a vessel.

Abstract: A tackifier is used resin in an energic material formulation comprising active materials and a polymeric binder to reduce or eliminate the use of a plasticiser in the formulation wherein the tackifier resin is compatible with the polymeric material.

Abstract: Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
