  • Publication number: 20250129876
    Abstract: Robotic systems and associated methods are described herein. The robotic system may collect measurements from various sensors corresponding to motion of the robotic system, the surrounding environment of the robotic system, or both. The robotic system may generate measurement data based on the collected measurements. Measurements from a particular sensor may be processed in conjunction with different sensors of the robotic system, which may facilitate more accurate or more useful measurement data. The systems and methods of the present disclosure enable the detection, labeling, and locating of features in real time or near real time using the robotic system with little or no reliance on human interaction to detect and map the features. The disclosure provides enhanced accuracy and efficiency as it enhances the functionality and reduces the reliance on human detection of features.

  • Publication number: 20250049682
    Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

  • Patent number: 12205185
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including a computing device with a processor configured to: send a keep-alive signal to a user at a predefined interval; determine an active status of the user if a reply to the keep-alive signal is received prior to an expiration of the predefined interval; determine a non-active status of the user if a reply to the keep-alive signal is not received prior to an expiration of the predefined interval; send a first level transition notification to a first contact list if the determined status of the user is non-active; send a second level transition notification to a second contact list after a first time period has expired and the reply to the keep-alive signal is not received; and send a third level transition notification to a third contact list after a second time period has expired and the reply to the keep-alive signal is not received.

  • Patent number: 12159477
    Abstract: A tiered processing scheme for processing image data is provided. A method can include obtaining image data indicative of one or more court judgment(s) with a number of features. The method can include obtaining judgment information from the image data by applying a number of image processing techniques in accordance with a processing hierarchy tailored to the image data. The image data can be classified by a machine-learning model and the processing hierarchy can be determined based on the classification. The processing hierarchy balances the computing resources used by a respective technique with the accuracy afforded by the technique when applied to image data with a respective classification. A computing system can utilize the processing hierarchy to leverage different image processing techniques in a tiered processing scheme tailored to image data.

  • Patent number: 12053542
    Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic substrate material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second silicone polymers respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on substrate material and textiles and especially on hair to form a highly remanent colored coating. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating has a substantially permanent pigment lastingness and minimally alters the substrate material and textiles.

  • Patent number: 12002560
    Abstract: A fluid injector system has a controller for operably controlling the injection of contrast and/or saline into a patient. The controller allows a user to program a diagnostic injection procedure having one or more phases according to which the contrast and/or saline will be injected into the patient so as to effect enhancement of a region thereof during an imaging procedure. It further allows the user to program a test injection procedure to be performed prior to the diagnostic injection procedure. The test injection procedure is implementable as: (a) a variable single phase test injection in which the rate at which the saline is to be delivered is selectable prior to and may be varied during performance thereof; and/or (b) a multi-phase test injection in which the rate at which the saline is to be delivered is selectable for each phase of the multi-phase test injection prior to performance thereof.
