Abstract: A remote-operated palm tree trimming system and apparatus, configured to ascend a palm tree safely via treaded tires and trim the tree via at least one saw blade. The tires are disposed in communication with actuators which apply pressure against the trunk of the tree, ensuring that the tires maintain adequate grip to overcome gravity during ascent. A remote control, operated by user on the ground, enables control of the wheels, actuators, and saw blade, facilitating manipulation of the device to effectively trim the tree remotely, ensuring the safety of the operator.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods to quickly and accurately identify boundaries of a displayed document in a live camera image feed, and provide a document boundary indicator within the live camera image feed. For example, systems and methods described herein utilize different display document detection processes in parallel to generate and provide a document boundary indicator that accurately corresponds with a displayed document within a live camera image feed. Thus, a user of the mobile computing device can easily see whether the document identification system has correctly identified the displayed document within the camera viewfinder feed.

Abstract: An application server provides an application to client devices. Users of the client devices interact with the application to perform a business process. Data regarding user interactions with the application is transmitted from the client devices to the application server. Based on an analysis of the received data, a bot generation server generates a bot to automate a process step. The bot generation server provides a heatmap user interface (UI) that provides information regarding the process steps. Using the heatmap UI, the administrator selects a process step for automation. In response to the selection, the bot generation server identifies, based on the observed behavior, relationships between input fields, typical values for input fields, typical order of data entry into input fields, or any suitable combination thereof. Based on the identified patterns, the bot generation server generates a bot to automate some or all of the process step.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods that efficiently and effectively generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document in an image frame captured from a live image feed. For example, systems and methods described herein apply a document enhancement process to a displayed document in an image frame that result in an enhanced document image that is cropped, rectified, un-shadowed, and with dark text against a mostly white background. Additionally, systems and method described herein determine whether a stored digital content item includes a displayed document. In response to determining that a stored digital content item does include a displayed document, systems and methods described herein generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document included in the stored digital content item.

Abstract: A system for adapting drilling of a borehole in a subterranean formation based on comparing a received cuttings weight to an expected cuttings weight. The system comprises a processor; a non-transitory memory; at least one display; and an application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, determines the received cuttings weight based on data received from a cuttings storage unit (CSU); determines the expected cuttings weight based on a current borehole depth, on a drill bit geometry, and on a cuttings density value; and presents a representation of the received cuttings weight and a representation of the expected cuttings weight on the at least one display, whereby at least one parameter of drilling of the borehole is adapted based on comparing the representation of the received cuttings to the representation of the expected cuttings weight.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing an orthopedic procedure in the sacroiliac region are disclosed. In one form, an aperture is formed that at least partially extends through at least one of an ilium and a sacrum. An undercutting system is inserted into the aperture. The undercutting system may include an insertion apparatus, a probe assembly, and a cutting assembly. The probe assembly is moved with respect to the insertion apparatus from a retracted position to an extended position. The probe assembly is manipulated within a joint between the ilium and the sacrum while the probe assembly is in the extended position. The cutting assembly is moved with respect to the insertion apparatus from a retracted position to an extended position. The cutting assembly is manipulated within the joint between the ilium and the sacrum while the cutting assembly is in the extended position to form a fusion region.

Abstract: A knuckle for a rail car coupler that reduces bending of an intermediate portion of the pivot pin that coupled the knuckle to a rail car coupler. The knuckle has a body with a throughbore defining a first bearing surface at a first end of the throughbore and a second bearing surface and a second end of the throughbore. A support extends from the body into the throughbore and includes a third bearing surface positioned between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface. When a pivot pin is positioned in the throughbore, it will contact the first bearing surface, the second bearing surface, and the third bearing surface, with the third bearing support protecting against bending of the pivot between the first and second bearing surfaces.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing a region between adjacent bones for fusion. A first aperture is formed that extends through one of the bones. An undercutting system is inserted into the first aperture. The undercutting system includes an insertion apparatus and a cutting assembly. A first path is cut between the adjacent bones by extending or retracting the cutting assembly with respect to the insertion apparatus.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that utilize machine-learning models to classify content items and automatically organize the content items within a file structure according to their content item classifications. For instance, a content item classification system generates one or more content item classification models to determine classifications for content items and/or folders. In some instances, the classification system detects when new content items are added to a smart folder, determines destination folders to which the content items belong based on classifying the content items, and automatically moves the content items accordingly. In various instances, the classification system generates and utilizes a classification model to organize content items into dynamically-generated folders.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of a digital content system allow a user to conveniently search and/or navigate through a collection of digital content items. In particular, a user can interact with a client device to search for and identify one or more digital content items within a collection of digital content items. For example, the digital content system may provide a photo from a collection of photos via a graphical user interface. The digital content system can receive a user input identifying a selection of one or more visual features within the photo. Based on the selected visual feature(s), the digital content system may identify photos from the collection of photos that include the identified visual feature(s) and provide access to the identified photos via the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting primary gas flows (18) in flow chambers (10). The primary gas (18) flowing in a flow chamber (10) is locally seeded with a seed substance and the movement of the seed substance, representative of the flow of the primary gas (18), is detected by imaging by an image detector (28) and an imaging optics (30) arranged in front of said image detector (28). A gas mixture (34) that moves along with the primary gas (18) without relative motion and that has a refractive index distinguishable from that of the primary gas (18) is used as the seed substance, and imaging detection is carried out by a background schlieren measurement method.
