Abstract: Conventionally, in industries, different complex profiles (e.g., objects) are extruded and cut to required lengths for handling these profiles. This requires moving profiles from one location to another and placing them together with other similar or identical profiles which is currently a manual process. Present disclosure provides an apparatus for re-orientation of profiles for easy pick and place of these profiles from one location to another location. The apparatus includes actuator arm assemblies that are actuated for movement in upward and downward direction, wherein actuated rollers are trigged to move upward/downward directions accordingly. Profile is placed in initial position on an endless re-orienting belt above the surface of actuator arm assemblies wherein each actuator arm assembly is actuated to move the profile from one sub-region to another sub-region until the profile attains a desired orientation for pick and place of the re-oriented profile to desired location with required angle.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a robotic gripper to hold a writing and object creation device for writing and object creation. The robotic gripper includes clamping unit, spring loaded slider unit and outer housing unit. The clamping unit include a finger collet with three or more flexible finger positions equispaced within 360 degrees with two areas of contact on each finger in front part for firm gripping. The spring loaded slider unit include a middle housing to transfer a force from the writing and object creation device to a force sensitive resistor (FSR). A micro actuator induces a required force to the writing and object creation device based on feedback from the force sensitive resistor. The middle housing includes a plunger shaft connected with a preload spring. The outer housing unit configured to hold a micro actuator, cotter pins, locator pins to the micro actuator, and a push pull key.

Abstract: In one embodiment, change handling in mobile client applications may be facilitated by intermediate storage of changes using a data-provider-agnostic change object schema. An input on a mobile device that indicates a create, update, or delete action on a data object stored in a remote datastore is received. In response to receiving the input, a description of the action on the data object in a syntax that is agnostic as to type of remote service provider used for interacting with the remote datastore is created. The description of the action to a syntax of the first remote service provider is converted to compose a command configured to cause a first remote service provider to execute the action. The command is transmitted over a network to the first remote service provider to cause the action to be performed on the data object in the remote datastore.

Abstract: A passive authentication method includes, in response to receiving a requested action from a first user, obtaining a set of sensor data and categorizing first sensor data of the set of sensor data into a first modality of a set of modalities. The method includes, for the first modality of the set of modalities, determining a distance value by applying a first modality model to the first sensor data and comparing the distance value to a first verified value of the first user for the first modality. The method includes, based on the comparison, determining a first authentication decision of the distance value. The method includes, in response to the first authentication decision indicating the first sensor data corresponds to the first user, performing the requested action.

Abstract: A device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the device is programmed to identify a wearable device and a set of vehicle data from a vehicle. The user device sends a human machine interface (HMI) message to the wearable device. The HMI message is based at least in part on the set of vehicle data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana. DAD1 gene is overexpressed in wild type Chlorella sorokiniana to obtain the genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana. The genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana is characterized by increased biomass, increased carrying capacity, reduced clumping, and increased stress tolerance to ultraviolet light and high light intensity, as compared to the wild type Chlorella sorokiniana. The genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana can be used for the production of industrially important products.
