  • Patent number: 11887051
    Abstract: Techniques for employing user interfaces to output information indicative of events occurring in an inventory facility, and receive feedback from a human regarding the events are described herein. In one implementation, an event may take place in an inventory facility, such as a customer taking an item from an inventory location, returning an item to an inventory location, and so forth. An automated system of an inventory management system may process sensor data collected by sensors in the inventory facility to determine details of the event. In some examples, the inventory management system is unable to determine with a high level of confidence what occurred during the event. The inventory management system may provide the sensor data to a human associate through an associate interface, and receive input regarding details of the event from the human associate through the associate interface.

  • Publication number: 20230390154
    Abstract: Thermal delivery devices, systems, and/or methods are used to cool and/or to heat a portion of a subject for a purpose of inducing a desired and/or intended outcome in that subject. The subject may be an animal, such as, a vertebrate, a mammal, a primate, and/or a human. Examples of the portion to be thermally treated may be a face, a forehead, a head, a hand, a body, or other portion of the subject. The cooling and/or the heating of the portion (e.g., the face) may be sufficient to induce the desired and/or the intended outcome in that subject. The desired and/or intended outcome may relate to: release of at least one type of neurotransmitter; trigeminal nerve stimulation; (indirect) vagus nerve stimulation; transdermal drug delivery; bypass of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB); aesthetic medicine; cardiovascular; dermatological; ears, nose, and throat (otolaryngological); ophthalmological; neurological; psychological; endocrinological; and/or rheumatological benefits to that subject.

  • Publication number: 20230316790
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for improving fraud detection in the context of a user submitting, via a client device, a photo of a photo ID and a selfie taken during a step of the verification process. A machine learning model may be trained to generate biometric data signals from the selfie. As examples, the biometric data signals generated from the selfie can include an estimated age, gender, hair color, and eye color. The biometric data generated from the selfie may be compared with biometric data listed on the photo ID as an aid to identifying potential identity fraud. In some implementations, a facial filter corresponding to a map of a set of facial measurements of the photo in the photo ID may be compared with the facial measurements of the selfie.

  • Publication number: 20230229129
    Abstract: A system includes a power profile engine, a power measurement engine, and a power throttling signal generator. The power profile engine receives a desired power profile, e.g., a first profile current average associated with a first time duration and a second profile current average associated with a second time duration. The power measurement engine measures current being drawn and generates a first running average for the measured currents for the first time duration and generates a second running average for the measured currents for the second time duration. The power throttling signal generator generates a first power throttling signal to throttle power in response to the first running average for the measured currents being greater than the first profile current average and generates a second power throttling signal to throttle power in response to the second running average for the measured currents being greater than the second profile current average.

  • Publication number: 20230012258
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for producing syngas, typically from municipal waste. In particular, a gasifier is used in combination with a plasma furnace. The system is configured so that non-airborne char generated in the gasifier is removed from the system prior to delivery to the plasma furnace. This enhances the energy efficiency of the system whilst still yielding excellent yields of syngas.
