  • Publication number: 20240002084
    Abstract: A produce packing device comprising: a robot positioning apparatus with an end effector, wherein the robot positioning apparatus provides at least three degrees of freedom to move the end effector in three axial (x, y and z) directions or combination of at least two of these directions with respect to items of produce to be packaged, wherein the end effector is adapted in use for individually picking up an item of produce; a sensor to determine a size of each item of produce in a plurality of items of produce presented to the robot positioning apparatus and end effector; and a controller configured to receive one or more outputs from the sensor and: determine a selection of items of produce to be picked from the plurality of items of produce based on the one or more outputs from the sensor to achieve an acceptable stack height of items of produce within a package; and cause the robot positioning apparatus and end effector to move and pick up the selection of items of produce and place within said package.

  • Publication number: 20220237233
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to generating a conversational agent. In one example, a plurality of input utterances may be received from a developer. A paraphrase model is obtained. The paraphrase model is generated based on machine translation. For each of the plurality of input utterances, one or more paraphrases of the input utterance are generated based on the paraphrase model. For each of the plurality of input utterances, at least one of the one or more paraphrases is selected based on an instruction from the developer to generate selected paraphrases. The conversational agent is generated based on the plurality of input utterances and the selected paraphrases.

  • Publication number: 20190086117
    Abstract: A vent for venting of exhaust from a building comprising at least one inlet for receiving the exhaust from the building into the vent; at least one valve for assisting in maintaining the unidirectional movement of exhaust from inside to outside the building; and an outlet for allowing the release of the exhaust from the vent; wherein the inlet meets the vent at a forward angle such that the exhaust flows towards the outlet and acts to reduce friction of the exhaust against the vent.

  • Patent number: 9587479
    Abstract: A velocity sensor, a controller, a plunger lift system and method for controlling a plunger lift system is provided. The velocity sensor can use a first magnetic field sensor and a second magnetic field sensor spaced a sensor distance to determine a velocity of a plunger as it passes the velocity sensor. The controller can use information received from the velocity sensor to both control the operation of the plunger lift system using the measured plunger velocity obtained from the velocity sensor and shut down the well if the plunger is measured travelling too fast.
