  • MULTI ADDITIVE CHANNEL HEAD
    Publication number: 20220288541
    Abstract: A device for automatically and selectively dispensing multiple additives into a base liquid is disclosed, where each additive is dispensed by a control mechanism that effectively shuts off and is self-cleaning. In one embodiment, each additive is provided through a channel comprising a tube, a check disk, and a fulcrum. When the pressure of a particular additive increases above a threshold, a flexure is created in the check disk, which causes an opening that allows the additive to enter a main channel where it is mixed with a base liquid. When the pressure of the liquid additive is decreased below the threshold, the check disk reverts to its original form and the additive is no longer dispensed into the base liquid. Thereafter, the base liquid cleanses the mechanism.

  • AUTOMATED STORAGE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM CONNECTION AND COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
    Publication number: 20220292453
    Abstract: Systems, method and computer readable medium are provided for automated storage and retrieval. User authentication information is received via a user interface for a dynamic storage and retrieval device. The user identity is verified based upon the authentication information and previously stored authentication data. Order information is retrieved for an order associated with the user following the verifying of user identity, the order information indicating one or more locations for items associated with the order. Instructions are transmitted to initiate a physical opening of at least one of the dynamic storage and retrieval device and at least one static storage location to enable the user to retrieve at least one item of the order, the static storage location including a controller controlling a locking mechanism and communicatively coupled to the dynamic storage and retrieval device.

  • System and method for product recognition and assignment at an automated storage and retrieval device
    Patent number: 11397910
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are provided for processing items within an automated storage and retrieval device. A scanned machine-readable identifier associated with an item is received at an automated storage and retrieval device. A determination is made whether the machine-readable identifier that was scanned is a container identification (ID). The machine-readable identifier is identified based on pre-defined criteria when the machine-readable identifier is determined not to be a container ID. The machine-readable identifier is mapped to an existing order using stored order information. A container ID is created by the fulfillment system and passed back to the automated storage and retrieval device. The item is stored in the automated storage and retrieval device using the created container ID.

  • Efficient decoding of n-dimensional error correction codes
    Patent number: 11394402
    Abstract: Various implementations are directed to systems and methods for maintaining integrity and reliability of data in an SSD device using error correction coding. According to certain aspects, for frames of data having an ECC code with two or more sub-codes, while one sub-decoder is not in use it could be used to start a decode of another frame. By “interleaving” and alternating the frames between sub-decoders, two or more frames can be decoded simultaneously in an efficient manner. This can clearly be extended to more sub-codes (i.e. dimensions greater than two).

  • Method and system for tracking, processing, and integrating airport ground vehicle position data into the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) network infrastructure
    Patent number: 11327179
    Abstract: A method and system for tracking the real-time positions of airport ground vehicles, and integrating the positional data into the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) network infrastructure. The system may include one or more ground receiver stations that receives positional telemetry data from one or more airport ground vehicles, and transmits the ground vehicle positional data to a centralized ground base station. A computer system connected to the ground base aggregates the ground vehicle telemetry data from one or more ground vehicles, converts the aggregate telemetry data into an ADS-B compatible data protocol, and integrates that data into the ADS-B network infrastructure for dissemination and reporting across the ADS-B network. The method enables the use of and dissemination of ADS-B information for ground vehicles without the need for ADS-B transponders on each ground vehicle.

  • Dependency graph based natural language processing
    Patent number: 11281864
    Abstract: Examples of automatically generating natural language pipelines to process an input to generate tags, semantic or syntactic, are described. In an example, on receiving a request to process input data to generate tags, a dependency graph, based on identified dependees and further dependees may be created to satisfy the request, the dependency graph including natural language operations arranged in order of their dependencies on each other. Based on the dependency graph, a pipeline for the tags may be automatically generated, which includes a series of natural language operations such that the operations for dependee tags are processed before any of their associated depender tags.
