Abstract: A robot generates a cell grid (e.g., occupancy grid) representation of a geographic area. The occupancy grid may include a plurality of evenly sized cells, and each cell may be assigned an occupancy status, which can be used to indicate the location of obstacles present in the geographic area. Footprints for the robot corresponding to a plurality of robot orientations and joint states may be generated and stored in a look-up table. The robot may generate a planned path for the robot to navigate within the geographic area by generating a plurality of candidate paths, each candidate path comprising a plurality of candidate robot poses. For each candidate robot pose, the robot may query the look-up table for a corresponding robot footprint to determine if a collision will occur.

Abstract: A method for an advancement manager in a handheld user device is presented. The method is performed in a handheld user device (1). The method comprises detecting (S100) an exercise of a person in front of a camera (46) of the handheld user device, wherein the exercise is a trained exercise, determining (S130), when a stability of the detected exercise is within a first threshold, a performance of the detected exercise as correct, and otherwise determine the performance as incorrect, verifying (S140) that the performance determined as incorrect occurs in a subsequent repetition of the detected exercise before providing the correction indication, and providing (S150) a correction indication towards a user interface, UI, of the handheld user device for the determined incorrect performance. A user device and a computer program for an advancement manager in a handheld user device are also presented.

Abstract: An inhaler for delivery of a medicament by inhalation is disclosed. The inhaler comprises the following components. An inhaler body for receiving a canister having a dispensing valve. A drive mechanism comprising a biasing means such as a spring and a moving component such as a yoke, the drive mechanism for driving the canister, when received in the inhaler body, from a rest position in which the valve is closed to at least an actuating position in which the valve is open. The drive mechanism drives the canister when the biasing means is released from a loaded configuration to move the moving component from a first position to a second position. A resetting mechanism, for example a mouthpiece cap arrangement for pushing upwardly on the yoke, for resetting the drive mechanism by moving the moving component from the second position to the first position and reloading the biasing means to the loaded configuration.

The invention is based on the insight that a hitless failover can be performed by at the receiving node using a single common indexed play-out buffer in which a selective reconstruction of the transported data stream utilizing individual pieces, i.e. frames or packages, of a data stream received over multiple links is performed.

Abstract: A heating-energy saving system and a heating-energy saving method, which realize self-learning energy preservation (SLEP) system or method. By means of this system or method, the energy consumption of a beverage machine, which is mainly due to heating of the liquid required to provide hot beverages, can be reduced. At the same time, by adaptively learning and anticipating when a user is likely to use the beverage machine, the waiting time for the user, which is typically caused by the reheating process of the liquid in the beverage machine, can be significantly reduced. The system adapts the heating to what it learns from the user behavior. The described system and method are adapted to be installed in all kinds of beverage machines, either used in private or in public.
