Abstract: The described knee rehabilitation device can include any suitable component. In some implementations, however, it includes a sitting surface that is configured to support a user; a knee arm that comprises a leg coupling mechanism, that is pivotally coupled to the rehabilitation device, and that is configured to pivot through a range of motion; and a drive mechanism that is configured to force the knee arm through the range of motion. In some cases, the drive mechanism includes a first hard stop that prevents the knee arm from extending past a first set point, and the drive mechanism further includes a second hard stop that prevents the knee arm from being retracted past a second set point. In some cases, the device is further configured to be programmed to electronically limit the knee arm's range of motion. Other implementations are discussed.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for image assisted delivery. A computing device may identify a delivery location based at least in part on an image file received from a first client device.

Abstract: A computing device computes a quantile value for a variable value extracted from an event block object by computing a bin number for the variable value. If the computed bin number is between a before bin number and an after bin number computed for a quantile, the quantile is identified. Frequency data is updated to include the extracted variable value as a key value. A frequency value associated with the key value indicates a number of occurrences of the variable value in previously processed data. A cumulative rank value of the identified quantile is updated. A quantile adjustment value is computed based on a comparison between the variable value and a current quantile value of the identified quantile. An updated quantile value associated with the identified quantile is computed using the updated frequency data, the computed quantile adjustment value, and the updated cumulative rank value of the identified quantile.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for coordination of autonomous vehicles in a roadway. A roadway management system can generate lane configurations for a roadway or a portion of the roadway. The roadway management system can determine the direction of travel for lanes in a roadway and direct autonomous automobiles to enter the roadway in a particular lane.

Abstract: Interactive parking facilities may include one or more computer displays or other output devices for providing information to occupants of vehicles arriving at the parking facilities, and for providing information to workers tasked with delivering items to such occupants. A vehicle and/or an occupant may be identified at a parking space, and an ordered item associated with the vehicle or the occupant may then be placed in a staging area. Instructions to deliver the item from the staging area to the vehicle may be displayed to a worker, and information regarding the pending arrival of the item may be displayed to the occupant, on one or more computer displays. Thus, the fulfillment of an order may be triggered upon detecting the arrival of the vehicle at a parking space, and the delivery of the one or more items to the vehicle may be guided based on such information.

Abstract: A computing device automatically selects hyperparameter values based on objective criteria to train a predictive model. Each session of a plurality of sessions executes training and scoring of a model type using an input dataset in parallel with other sessions of the plurality of sessions. Unique hyperparameter configurations are determined using a search method and assigned to each session. For each session of the plurality of sessions, training of a model of the model type is requested using a training dataset and the assigned hyperparameter configuration, scoring of the trained model using a validation dataset and the assigned hyperparameter configuration is requested to compute an objective function value, and the received objective function value and the assigned hyperparameter configuration are stored. A best hyperparameter configuration is identified based on an extreme value of the stored objective function values.

Abstract: Embolic protection elements are integrated with a catheter or access sheath for any catheter. A catheter with an integrated embolic protection element comprises a catheter shaft, an embolic filter slidably mounted on a distal portion of the shaft, a proximal stop for limiting the proximal movement of the embolic filter, and a distal stop for limiting the distal movement of the embolic filter. The filter comprises a porous mesh material defining a collection chamber for captured emboli and has a collapsed and a deployed configuration. The filter may be collapsed by an access sheath used with the catheter. An access sheath may comprise a tubular main body and an embolic filter mounted on the distal portion of the tubular main body. The embolic filter may evert into the central lumen of the sheath or may be constrained on the exterior of the sheath with a larger diameter outer tube.

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.

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.

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.
