In one implementation, the inventory management device comprises a transportable frame that at least partially surrounds a housing, the transportable frame having a motor attachment surface. The housing includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogator and an RFID antenna. In some implementations, there is a second RFID antenna located in the housing, and the first RFID antenna is orthogonally offset from the second RFID antenna.

Abstract: A remotely deployed and operated drone-based sealed tank inspector comprises a direct replacement of normal hatch cover which is a sealed hatch cover comprising electrical penetrations, a sealing cable transit, and a predetermined set of eyelets for retention of lifting slings, and is handled using small hoist and parking stand. Drone-based inspections, including ultrasonic (UT) and visual inspections, may be remotely accomplished by deploying the remotely deployed and operated drone-based sealable tank inspector and using it for inspection and testing, including visual inspection, such as those required to be performed inside a sealed, inert-environment tank.

Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems and methods for operating the systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a pump assembly, canister, and a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound. The pump assembly, canister, and the wound dressing can be fluidically connected to facilitate delivery of negative pressure to a wound. The pump assembly can present graphical user interface screens for controlling and monitoring delivery of negative pressure. The system can be configured to efficiently deliver negative pressure and to detect and indicate presence of certain conditions, such as low pressure, high pressure, leak, canister full, and the like. Monitoring and detection of operating condition can be performed by measuring one or more operational parameters, such as pressure, flow rate, and the like.

Abstract: The disclosed invention comprises a vortex-induced-vibration (VIV) suppression system for tubulars, such as tubular structures (e.g., a riser), and uses a winding, e.g., ropes or cables, wound around tubular structures in a helical manner already deployed subsea. The helically wound ropes or cables tend to act as a VIV suppression device.

Abstract: An interstitial recessed cantilever latch mechanism for fiber optic and electrical connectors is disclosed. This mechanism enables the design of more spatially efficient multi-position connectors while retaining the reliability and tactile feedback of traditional connector latch mechanisms. The mechanism also allows the receptacle interface to be substantially simplified, and reduces the number of unique components required by means of a hermaphroditically assembled backshell half.

Abstract: This application relates to a leak detector device (100) for detecting an internal leak in a fluid path. The leak detector comprises a housing (110) with a flow passage (120) extending through the housing (110), one or more pairs of temperature sensors (130, 140) for detecting a temperature difference between an outside of the housing (110) and the flow passage (120), one temperature sensor of each pair being arranged towards an outer surface of the housing (110) and the other temperature sensor of the pair being arranged towards an innersurface of the housing (110) that faces the flow passage (120), and an array of electrically conductive wires (150, 160) that extend across the flow passage (120). The array of electrically conductive wires (150, 160) comprises one or more positive polarity wires and one or more negative polarity wires. The application further relates to a corresponding method of leak detection.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operating system (OS) discovery mode that identifies and provides access to OS and/or third-party provided features within an applicable region of a desktop. In some configurations, once the discovery mode is activated, the content displayed by the applicable region is analyzed to identify content usable by OS and/or third-party provided features. Visual cues are rendered in the applicable region near the identified content, highlighting the availability of the OS and/or third-party provided features. Users may interact with the visual cues to manipulate the underlying content or to invoke the OS and/or third-party provided features. OS and/or third-party provided features may modify content displayed by an application, launch an inline micro-experience, crop or export images, etc. While in the discovery mode, visual cues are highlighted as a discovery mouse cursor moves around the desktop.

Abstract: A system obtains conversation data corresponding to conversations between users and agents of a client. The system identifies a set of intents from the conversations and identifies a set of contexts, explicit elements, and implied elements of these intents. The system identifies actions that can be performed to recognize new explicit and implied elements from new conversations and to address intents in these new conversations. Based on these actions, the system generates a set of recommendations that can be provided to the client. As agents communicate with users, the system monitors adherence to the set of recommendations.
