  • Patent number: 11599775
    Abstract: Graphical elements in a user interface (UI) may be detected in robotic process automation (RPA) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Such processes may be particularly well-suited for detecting graphical elements that are too small to be detected using conventional techniques. The accuracy of detecting graphical elements (e.g., control objects) may be enhanced by providing neural network-based processing that is robust to changes in various UI factors, such as different resolutions, different operating system (OS) scaling factors, different dots-per-inch (DPI) settings, and changes due to UI customization of applications and websites, for example.

  • Patent number: 8560358
    Abstract: Generation of an engineering change case is initiated by associating an identified problem for a product with an engineering change case template. The engineering change case can include a plurality of structured folders that can be populated with content characterizing the identified problem as well as proposed solutions to the identified problem with each folder being assignable to one or more users and having associated deliverables for such users. The various users populate the folders with content associated with the deliverables with at least a portion of the deliverables being delegable and requiring completion in a sequential order. Thereafter, generation of the engineering case can be finalized when an indication is received that all deliverables requiring approval have been completed. Otherwise, the engineering change case can be canceled. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8403397
    Abstract: An adjustable tailgate support contains a fixed inner tube, which is connected to a lower housing part and on which is arranged a spiral spring. The spiral spring on the one hand is supported at the lower end on a setting element held on the inner tube and, on the other hand, is held fixed at a remote, upper, free end in the upper housing part. An increase or reduction in the spring force of the spiral spring can be set by turning the setting element, which has a supporting ring, on an external thread of the fixed inner tube.

  • Patent number: 7237411
    Abstract: An operating device for a motor vehicle lock having a door lock actuator includes a grip plate and a grip with one bearing arm that extends through the grip plate and is swivellably linked to a rear side of the grip plate via a bearing block by way of a plug-type shaft. A securing element for the plug-type shaft secures the latter against sliding-out. A protective covering, which at least partially covers the rear side of the grip plate, has at least one extension that serves as a securing element and is situated next to an end of the plug-type shaft.
