  • Publication number: 20240104872
    Abstract: Various implementations provide a view of a 3D environment including a portal for viewing a stereo item (e.g., a photo or video) positioned a distance behind the portal. One or more visual effects are provided based on texture of one or more portions of the stereo item, e.g., texture at cutoff or visible edges of the stereo item. The effects change the appearance of the stereo item or the portal itself, e.g., improving visual comfort issues by minimizing window violations or otherwise enhancing the viewing experience. Various implementations provide a view of a 3D environment including an immersive view of a stereo item without using portal. Such a visual effect may be provided to partially obscure the surrounding 3D environment.

  • Publication number: 20210139256
    Abstract: An automated palletizer for building a mixed case pallet, the automated palletizer including a case infeed that feeds mixed cases to provide an input queue feed sequence of mixed cases. At least one pallet building robot communicably connected to the case infeed and configured to receive the mixed cases in the input queue feed sequence of mixed cases, and place the mixed cases according to and dependent on the input queue feed sequence of mixed cases so as to effect building the mixed case pallet at a predetermined substantially steady placement rate. A controller communicably connected to the case infeed and at least one pallet building robot, and being configured so as to generate a complete and stable mixed case arrangement plan that completes at least a predetermined whole part of the mixed case pallet and that describes a predetermined planned location and pose for each case.

  • Publication number: 20200232615
    Abstract: An adjustable light fixture can include a housing comprising at least one wall that forms a first cavity. The adjustable light fixture can also include a first sealing member coupled to the at least one wall and at least partially disposed within the first cavity. The adjustable light fixture can further include a body movably coupled to the housing and at least partially disposed within the first cavity, where the body is configured to have multiple positions relative to the housing, where the first sealing member abuts against an outer surface of the body when the body is in each of the positions, where the first sealing member prevents fluids in an ambient environment from traversing therethrough when the body is in each of the positions, where the positions includes the body having a tilt angle relative to the housing of greater than 20°.

  • Publication number: 20190389671
    Abstract: A product order fulfillment system including a multi-level transport system and a lifting transport system. Each level of the multi-level transport system having a corresponding independent asynchronous level transport system separate and distinct from the asynchronous level transport system corresponding to each other level of the multi-level transport system. Each independent lift axis of the lifting transport system being configured to independently hold at least one case and being communicably coupled to each asynchronous level transport system so as to provide for exchange of the at least one case between each asynchronous level transport system and each independent lift axis. Each independent lift axis is communicably coupled to each other independent lift axis of the more than one lift axis and forms a common output of mixed cases so as to create an ordered sequence of mixed cases in accordance to a predetermined case out ordered sequence.

  • Publication number: 20140188507
    Abstract: A method for generating a lifestyle progression (LSP) plan for a patient subject includes collecting patient data including a list of exercise activities performed over a plurality of non-overlapping periods for a plurality of patients and patient health records. The collected patient data is clustered into related groups using k-mean clustering. An LSP model for each cluster is created by averaging the exercise activities performed and respective period durations. Patient data for a patient subject including patient health records is received. A vector is calculated for the received patient data. A shortest distance between the calculated vector for the received patient data and vectors calculated for each LSP model is found. An LSP is built for the patient subject bases on the LSP model with the shortest distance to the calculated vector for the received patient data.

  • Publication number: 20060273997
    Abstract: A method and system for compensation of non-uniformities in light emitting device displays is provided. The system includes a module for estimating degradation of an entire pixel circuit based on measurement of a part of the pixel circuit. Based on the estimation, a correction factor is produced to correct non-uniformity of the display.
