Abstract: A goods receipt management system includes processors coupled to a non-transitory storage device and operable to execute routines that include a face recognition engine to use facial features of a user to recognize the user as an authorised person, a dialogue manager engine to obtain from the authorised person a stated number of goods items being delivered, a quantification engine to receive an image of the goods items and calculate the number of goods items appearing in the image, a comparison engine to compare the calculated number of goods items with the stated number of goods items, and in the event of a substantial match, to record the calculated number of goods items, and a performance improvement engine to use the image of the goods items to re-tune configuration variables, in the event of a mis-match between calculated number of goods items and stated number of goods items.

Abstract: Drone communication with a ground control system can be secured using digital certificates based on authorized user's biometric information. The ground control system can verify a user's biometric information to ensure they are authorized to perform the requested actions based on the digital certificates of the drone.

Abstract: A warehouse management system is configured to include a biometric processing engine to authenticate a user though facial recognition of the user, a natural language processing engine to enables touchless interaction of the user with the system, a voice synthesizer to execute synthesized voice interrogative prompts and respond to responses received from the user, and a quantity detection engine for capturing images of transaction articles and feeding to an artificial image quantization engine (AIQE) for extracting quantities from the captured images and to an artificial image self-learning engine (AISLE) for self-learning of the AIQE.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for dial indicator calibration comparing the real displacement of the dial indicator rod with its ideal linear displacement during each calibration interval given by the dial indicator hand, having a Michelson interferometer with a laser as a linear displacement transducer, an opto-electronic transducer to read the dial, indicator hand position for each calibration interval, an electronic control urgent which controls the operation of the whole apparatus and feeds to a printer the measuring errors in length units and the corresponding calibration intervals.
