Abstract: An aircraft assembly includes a first body connected to a second body via a flexible coupling that limits separation of the bearing faces while permitting relative rotational movement between the bodies. The flexible coupling includes one or more first flexible straps attached to the first side of the first body and attached to the second side of the second body, and one or more second flexible straps attached to the second side of the first body and attached to the first side of the second body. The bearing faces include planar central portions to react compressive loads while the parts are aligned, and convex outer rolling surfaces to react loads during rotational movement between the bodies, such that a point of contact between the first body and the second body moves along curves of the respective curved end regions during the rotational movement between the bodies.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, an input generated by a user touching a location on a touch-sensitive edge; determining whether a display contains a window split; when the display contains the window split, determining, in response to the input, whether the location is within a predefined proximity of the window split; when the location is within the predefined proximity of the window split, repositioning the window split on the display based on the input. When the display does not contain the window split, and when the location is not within the predefined proximity of the window split, a new window split can be created on the display, in response to the input, based on the location.

Abstract: An AI platform is fully integrated with existing VoIP/AVoIP telephony infrastructure. In the course of providing VoIP/AVoIP audiovisual calls, a VoIP/AVoIP media stream of audiovisual content is processed, and transferred between endpoints. AI processing is applied to each frame of the transferred audiovisual content, in real-time while the audiovisual call is occurring. For example, automated speech recognition can be performed on the content, in which the speech of the audiovisual content is converted to text. The audiovisual call can further be automatically transcribed to a text file in real-time. Another example is the automatic detection of the occurrence of specific triggers during calls. Additional enhanced functionality is automatically provided as a result of applying the AI processing to the transferred audiovisual content. For example, in response to detecting the occurrence of a specific trigger, a corresponding directive can be automatically output on a screen of a calling device.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a mobile robotic device includes a mobile base and a mounting column fixed to the mobile base. The robotic device further includes a seven-degree-of-freedom (7DOF) robotic arm, including a rotatable joint that enables rotation of the 7DOF robotic arm relative to the mounting column. The robotic device additionally includes a perception housing comprising at least one sensor, where the mounting column, the rotatable joint of the 7DOF arm, and the perception housing are arranged in a stacked tower such that the rotatable joint of the 7DOF arm is above the mounting column and below the perception housing.
