Abstract: A system and method for intelligent soil sampling has for a novelty robotic system 100 that samples soil based on the generation of sampling points through advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. The robotic system 100 comprises a robotic platform 101 with sampling modules 103, 105 and 108, which communicates with a server 111, that consists a localization module 113 containing artificial intelligence algorithms based on satellite images from multiple spectral channels and/or images from high-resolution drone for a given parcel 301, generates zones and determines the coordinates of points as the best representatives of the zones to take place efficiently and quickly sampling the land.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for automated liquid exchange in a horizontally rotating container that may be applied in automated sample treatment by using chemical solutions, in sequential order. Such applications include biomolecule staining on solid support or fixed samples such as western blot or tissue slice processing. Such sequential chemical reactions are usually performed on flat surfaces. Alternatively, these reactions can be completed with much less volume of reagents in horizontally rotating containers. Yet, it is difficult to automate these processes in rotating containers since the required tubing would twist due to the continuous rotation of the container. The present invention solves the problem of twisting of tubing by leading them through a stationary tubing carrier that passes through the rotating container.

Abstract: Techniques for visual configuration and activation are described. Techniques discussed herein enable visuals to be presented to a user based on a user-specific visual configuration. The visuals are activated such that the visuals are selectable to access various functionalities. In at least some embodiments, a visualization that represents a user-specific visual configuration is provided to and displayed on a device. The visualization includes inactive visuals that are activated based on various considerations.

Abstract: Objects of an object set stored in an archive may be randomly accessed using the addresses of the objects stored in the archive. However, archives often fail to enable random access to the data within an object, without accessing other portions of the object, due to the variable compression of respective segments of the object. Random-access capabilities within the objects may be provided by segmenting the object into segments of a segment size, generating a block map specifying the block sizes of respective blocks corresponding to respective segments of the objects, and storing the block map in the archive as an object of the object set. Additionally, hashcodes may be calculated respective blocks and included in the block map in order to expose alterations of respective blocks, and/or to update an archive to an updated version of the archive by comparing the hashcodes and retrieving and substituting the updated blocks.
