Abstract: Delivery systems for aerial vehicles include a plurality of securement straps configured to secure a package during flight of an aerial vehicle, at least one retaining strap, and a release mechanism. A proximal end region of each securement strap and a first end region of the at least one retaining strap are coupled to the aerial vehicle. A distal end region of each securement strap is coupled to the release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the release mechanism releases the distal end region of at least one securement strap of the plurality of securement straps, thereby delivering the package. The release mechanism remains coupled to a second end region of the at least one retaining strap when the release mechanism is actuated such that the securement straps, release mechanism, and retaining strap all may be pulled up and away from the package after delivery.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to tessellated bezel light diffusers which act to disperse penumbral light providing more uniform and even illumination. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing an array of light sources with tessellated bezel light diffusers which act to eliminate edge and transition lighting effects providing more uniform and even illumination between LEDs and at the periphery of illuminated zones. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing LED arrays equipped with tessellated bezel light diffusers that provide very uniform illumination zones with more evenly dispersed transitional edge lighting than conventional luminaires.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating and training a relation extraction model configured to extract document-level relations. Systems obtain a knowledge database that comprises a plurality of entity tuples and a plurality of relation types, use the knowledge database to generate annotated relation instances based on relation instances that are identified in a set of unlabeled text, generate a training dataset comprising the annotated relation instances and the set of unlabeled text, and generate the machine learning model via modular self-supervision. Systems and methods are also provided for using a relation extraction model to extract document-level relations in specific use scenarios, such as for extracting drug response relations from full-text medical research articles.

Abstract: Leveraging time-based comments on communications recordings is described. A system determines a comment time for a communications recording associated with a database record. The system receives a comment for the communications recording and generates a comment thread which includes the comment. If a media player is displaying a player control that is associated with the communications recording, the system causes the comment time and the comment thread and/or a comment thread indicator to be displayed with the player control that is displayed by the media player. The system initiates generation of a feed item, which includes the comment and references the communications recording, thereby causing the output of the feed item via an information feed associated with the database record to any system user associated with the database record.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to low glare illumination arrays and luminaires which act to disperse light into a three-dimensional space providing more uniform and even illumination with reduced glare. The present invention also relates to luminaires and illumination systems employing an array of solid state light sources with shaped bezel light diffusers which act to reduce glare and provide more uniform and even illumination of surfaces and spaces. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing a plurality of linear LED arrays equipped with shaped bezel light diffusers collectively oriented at a common acute angle, optionally including internally curved reflective or non-reflective surfaces to provide improved illumination with reduced glare.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for marine capture of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using water for braking and damping are described. An example capture device is for capturing a UAV aboard a marine vessel located in a body of water. The capture device includes a mounting frame and a capture frame. The mounting frame is configured to be coupled to the marine vessel. The capture frame is configured to be rotatably coupled to the mounting frame. The capture frame is rotatable relative to the mounting frame about an axis of rotation. The capture frame includes a braking member configured to be submerged in the body of water. The braking member is configured to oppose rotation of the capture frame relative to the mounting frame based on a braking force to be applied to the braking member by the body of water.

Abstract: A refrigeration cabinet assembly for a refrigeration appliance (1) comprises a cabinet (20) having five closed faces and an open front face providing access to an interior of the cabinet. A lateral stiffening arrangement (50, 51) is provided within the cabinet to resist bending or bowing of the side walls, particularly when the cabinet includes upper and lower compartments, the upper compartment having a door hinged to the cabinet. The lateral stiffening arrangement reduces door droop. A torsionally stiff structure may also be fixed to one of the five closed faces (23) or a structure (31) could be added to one of the five closed faces (23) so that together with that closed face a torsionally stiff structure results. The torsional stiffness of the assembly is thereby increased beyond that of the cabinet alone so that the insulated cabinet has an improved ability to resist twisting, further reducing door droop.
