Abstract: A system for electronically automating reduction component selection, conversion, disaggregation, and assignment is provided. The system generates graphical user interfaces that accept data relating to a reduction component to be analyzed and assigned to a qualified facility. The system identifies a segment associated with each reduction component and identifies all reduction components within a segment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating construction of structures are disclosed. Building information modeling (BIM) data is received in a non-standardized format for a set of structures undergoing construction. Scheduling data is received associated with construction of each structure in the set of structures. A database is accessed that stores construction data that associates multiple elements of construction projects in a hierarchical configuration. Using the BIM data and the scheduling data, a model is generated that standardizes how particular elements of a particular structure relate to the multiple elements in the hierarchical configuration. Using the generated model, a status of construction of the particular structure is generated. In some implementations, the model is generated and/or trained using machine learning.

One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of determining grip quality between a robotic gripper and an object. The method comprises applying a vacuum to two or more cup assemblies of the robotic gripper in contact with the object, moving the object with the robotic gripper after applying the vacuum to the two or more cup assemblies, and determining, using at least one pressure sensor associated with each of the two or more cup assemblies, a grip quality between the robotic gripper and the object.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for providing suggested locations for pick up and destination locations. Pick up locations may include locations where an autonomous vehicle can pick up a passenger, while destination locations may include locations where the vehicle can wait for an additional passenger, stop and wait for a passenger to perform some task and return to the vehicle, or for the vehicle to drop off a passenger. As such, a request for a vehicle may be received from a client computing device. The request may identify a first location. A set of one or more suggested locations may be selected by comparing the predetermined locations to the first location. The set may be provided to the client computing device.

The personalized media content is presented along with a modified display view of the programming media content at the candidate time interval.

Abstract: A paddleball training apparatus and methods are provided for practicing paddle sports, such as pickleball, in absence of a court. The paddleball training apparatus comprises a rectangular box having a front end and a rear end. A top playing surface includes holes for receiving balls hit by players while an undersurface allows the balls to roll inside the box toward a ball trough adjacent to the rear end. A net indicator on the top playing surface between a first hole and a second hole represents a net over which players must hit balls to score game points. The first hole adjacent to the front end represents a ball that falls short of passing over the net. The second hole is just beyond the net indicator and represents an ideal shot just over the net. Third and fourth holes are farther from the net indicator and represent diminishing scores.
