  • Publication number: 20220263434
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a pick & place system that uses a magnetic core for both magnetic coupling with an assembly component and heating of the assembly component. The magnetic core has a component engagement surface configured to magnetically and thermally engage the component. A controller is configured to provide both AC current and DC current to an inductive coil wound about the magnetic core. DC current provided to the inductive coil induces a magnetic field within the magnetic core, thereby magnetically attracting the component when engaged with the component engagement surface. AC current provided to the magnetic core inductively heats the magnetic core, thereby heating the component when engaged with the component engagement surface.

  • Patent number: 11395462
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a seedling container having seedling compartment(s). Frangible tear-off strip(s) divide seedling compartment(s) into top portion(s) and bottom portion(s). Pulling on pull tab(s) of frangible strip(s) permits removal of frangible strip(s) from seedling compartment(s) so as to permit bottom portion(s) to be conveniently removed from top portion(s). Seedling plug(s) retained by rim-like top portion(s) may thus be conveniently transplanted without creating excessive mess or damage to seedling(s).

  • Publication number: 20220138170
    Abstract: A system and method to generate search results in response to a search query based on comparisons of embedding vectors. The system and method receive, from an end user system, a search query including a set of keywords associated with the entity. Using a neural network, an embedding vector is identified based on the set of keywords of the search query. The system and method compares the embedding vector associated with the search query to a set of embedding vectors associated with a set of structured data elements relating to the entity. Based on the comparison, a set of matching structured data elements is identified. The system and method generate a search result in response to the search query, wherein the search result includes at least a portion of the set of matching structured data elements.
