  • Patent number: 12291965
    Abstract: A method for preparing a geothermal system involves preparing a wellbore that extends into an underground magma reservoir. Characteristics of the drilling process and the borehole are monitored to detect when the magma reservoir is reached, such that specially configured drilling operations can be performed to drill to a target depth within the magma reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20250140001
    Abstract: A computer system for validating trays loaded with products receives at least one image of products in at least one tray of a plurality of trays in an imaging area. A type of the products in the at least one tray is determined based upon the at least one image. The type of products in the at least one tray is compared to at least one order. A confirmation or error is indicated based upon the comparison. In some examples, the products are bakery products of different types loaded in plastic, stackable bakery trays. In one example method, a plurality of stacks of loaded bakery trays are imaged from a front or rear of the trays. In another example method, the plurality of stacks are imaged from overhead as the trays are loaded onto the stacks.

  • Publication number: 20250117253
    Abstract: Techniques are related to management service provider resources. The techniques may include receiving a first request to organize a first workload and a second workload. The first workload may be associated with a first computing resource provisioned on a first service provider network and the second workload may be associated with a second computing resource provisioned on a second service provider network. The techniques may import data associated with the first workload and the second workload into the space. The techniques may cause an action to be performed for the first workload and the second workload by implementing a first workflow for the first workload and implementing a second workflow for the second workload.

  • Publication number: 20250109820
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a portable electronic device including a frame body supporting electronic components and a stand mechanism. The stand mechanism includes a foot, and an activator. The foot includes a foot support and a foot shaft including a foot guide path. The activator includes an engaging element, and the engaging element is received by the foot guide path. A portion of the foot guide path extends at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the foot shaft. When the activator engages a surface, the engaging element of the activator moves along the portion of the foot guide path at the angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the foot shaft causing the foot support to rotate from a stored position to a deployed position.

  • Publication number: 20250032125
    Abstract: A compression device for freeing a ring trapped on a digit includes a rigid outer body. The rigid outer body includes a digit cavity extending from a cavity opening at a body proximal end of the body towards a body distal end of the body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid flow path fluidly connecting the fluid inlet to one or more inflation chambers positioned in the digit cavity. The body proximal end includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and two laterally spaced-apart side portions. At least one side portion is distally recessed as compared to the upper and lower portions to accommodate an interdigital fold. At least one flexible bladder lines the digit cavity, each flexible bladder defining at least one wall of one of the one or more inflation chambers.

  • Patent number: 12205353
    Abstract: An imaging system and method uses grouping and elimination to label images of unknown items. The items may be stacked together with known or unknown items. The items may be packages, such as packages of beverage containers. A machine learning model may be used to infer skus of the packages. The machine learning model is trained on known skus but is not trained on unknown skus. Multiple images of the same unknown sku are grouped using the machine learning model. Elimination based upon lists of expected skus is used to label each group of unknown skus.
