  • Reducing negative effects of insufficient data throughput for real-time processing
    Patent number: 10338816
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling access to a memory are provided. The techniques may include receiving and storing output pixel data in a buffer, providing the stored output pixel data to a display controller, receiving stored output pixel data from the buffer at the display controller, switching to a second operating mode state based at least on an amount of available data in the buffer being less than or equal to a threshold, identifying a portion of the image data stored in a memory device for use in generating output pixel data for an updated image, and, in response to operating in the second operating mode, generating the output pixel data without issuing a memory read command via an interconnect to retrieve the portion of the initial image while operating in the second operating mode, and providing the output pixel data to the buffer.

  • Optimizing material handling tasks
    Patent number: 10304175
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for utilizing depth videos to analyze material handling tasks. A material handling facility may comprise a depth video system and a control system programmed to receive a plurality of depth videos including performances of the material handling task. For each of the plurality of depth videos, training data may identify sub-tasks of the material handling task and corresponding portions of the video including the sub-tasks. The plurality of depth videos and the training data may be used to train a model to identify the sub-tasks from depth videos. The control system may apply the model to a captured depth video of a human agent performing the material handling task at a workstation to identify a first sub-task of the material handling task being performed by the human agent.

  • OBJECT TRACKING USING A COGNITIVE HETEROGENEOUS AD HOC MESH NETWORK
    Publication number: 20190098457
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a tracking objects using a cognitive heterogeneous ad hoc mesh network. Participant objects transmit notification signals to inform other participant objects in line-of-sight of their position and movement. The participants also utilize echoes of the notification signals to detect and estimate the position and movement of non-participant objects. Participant objects can then share this positional information with one another to refine the estimated position and movement of non-participant objects. The position of each other participant and non-participant object is updated based on an individualized update rate that dynamically changes based on the distance and velocity of closure between the participant and the other participant or non-participant object.

  • Low power DMA snoop and skip
    Patent number: 10181175
    Abstract: Methods for preprocessing pixel data using a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine during a data transfer of the pixel data from a first memory (e.g., a DRAM) to a second memory (e.g., an SRAM) are described. The pixel data may derive from a color camera or a depth camera in which individual pixel values are not a multiple of eight bits. In some cases, the DMA engine may perform a variety of image processing operations on the pixel data prior to the pixel data being written into the second memory. In one embodiment, the DMA engine may be configured to determine whether one or more pixels corresponding with the pixel data may be invalidated or skipped based on a minimum pixel value threshold and a maximum pixel value threshold and to embed pixel skipping information within unused bits of the pixel data.

  • Removable and reusable tracking device item reordering
    Patent number: 10163071
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a removable and reusable tracking device feature in an inventory management system may be described. For example, the inventory management system may associate a reusable tracking device with an item based on first identification information from the reusable tracking device and second identification information from the item in response to an inventory transfer request for the item. Instructions may be provided to attach the reusable tracking device to the item and deliver the item and the associated reusable tracking device to a user based on the inventory transfer request for the item. A notification may be generated based on a signal received from the reusable tracking device. The notification may be provided to a user device of the user and indicate that a subsequent order for the item should be placed on behalf of the user.

  • LOCATION DIRECTED OFFERS
    Publication number: 20180357591
    Abstract: Location directed offers are described herein. According to one embodiment, an order for delivery of an item to a delivery location is received. In turn, a route for delivery of the item is evaluated, and computing devices are identified along the route. A subset of the computing devices is selected to receive an offer to purchase an item for expeditious delivery during the carrier's delivery of the item to the delivery location. For efficiency, the subset of computing devices may be selected based on proximity to the route for delivery. Offer notifications are sent to the subset of computing devices and, in response to an acceptance of an offer, the carrier is notified of an additional delivery location for delivery of another item. Thus, upon return of the carrier from delivery of the item, for example, the carrier may also deliver other items along the route.
