  • Publication number: 20240075626
    Abstract: A tire picking system (100) performs a process for picking one or more tires stored in an unknown arrangement and for which a target location must be realized. A gripper (108) and a robot (102) including a gripping device (104) supported by a pivotable elongated arm (106), the gripping device extending from the elongated arm to a free end (104a) where the gripper is disposed, form part of the system (100). An image processing module applies data representative of the physical environment around the robot (102) to a deployed neural network in order to determine one or more parameters of a target tire (P*); the robot is set in motion based on the determined parameters of the target tire, so that the gripper can pick a target tire (P*) selected by the system (100) from among the stored tires.

  • Patent number: 10528415
    Abstract: An indication of a problem within the computing environment can be received by a data processing system external to a computing environment. Based on the indication of the problem within the computing environment, the data processing system can select a data log filter. The data log filter can be configured to access, from each of a plurality of data logs, a respective data set comprising log entries that are candidate indicators of the problem. Each of the plurality of data logs can be generated by a respective electronic device that is a member of the computing environment. The data processing system can access the respective data sets from the plurality of data logs using the data log filter, and output each respective data set.

  • Patent number: 9294585
    Abstract: A method for live-migration of an operating system and an application is provided. The operating system runs on a first computer. The application may run on the operating system. The live-migration may be performed to a second computer while the application showing no externally detectable downtime during live-migration of the application. The method may comprise operating a tracking tool that may track and store data modifications to a disk-system of the computer in a tracking file, triggering a shutdown of the first computer while the tracking tool continues to operate in tracking mode and shut down the first computer completely. Then restarting the first computer and sending the data modifications stored prior to the complete shutdown of the first computer to the second computer, which then may be started based on the sent data, followed by starting the application such that from an external perspective no application disruption is detectable.
