Abstract: Techniques for generating and presenting search filter recommendations are disclosed. A system determines a composition of search filter tiles, including a relative number of machine learning-generated search filter tiles and non-machine learning-generated search filter tiles, based on recommendation criteria.

The system generates different sets of search filter recommendations made up of different ratios of recommendations from different sources based on determining if search filter criteria are met.

The cleaning head also includes a computer processor connected to the actuator assembly and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that causes the computer processor to map the environment based on sensor data captured by the autonomous vacuum. The computer processor may determine an optimal height for the cleaning head based on the map and instruct the actuator assembly to adjust the height of the cleaning head.

Abstract: A traceability system for a bulk commodity supply chain is provided. The system includes a tracking device, a location determination subsystem, and at least one computing device having at least one processor. The location determination subsystem is configured to determine positional information of the tracking device while placed in a bulk commodity traveling along the bulk commodity supply chain. The processor receives the positional information from the location subsystem, extracts positional values from the positional information, and processes the positional values to identify motion primitives. A modeling tool is applied to the identified motion primitives to produce a positional path of the tracking device, which is output, for example, via a user interface. The positional path represents travel of the bulk commodity along the supply chain.

Abstract: Disclosed is an autonomous vacuum system that detects and responds to obstructions in a cleaning channel of the vacuum. Pressure sensors repeatedly measure pressure at different points in the cleaning channel, and the autonomous vacuum system analyzes the pressure measurements to determine whether an obstruction is likely present. Such a determination may be made based on, e.g., computed pressure differentials across the pressure sensors, and/or pressures of individual pressures sensors. The autonomous vacuum system can respond to the detection of an obstruction by, for example, performing a change in vacuum speed, such as ramping up to or near a maximum speed, and then decreasing again to a more normal speed.

Abstract: An autonomous vacuum includes mopping and sweeping functionalities. A magnetic locking system secures a cleaning head of the autonomous vacuum into a mopping position when in a mopping state, allowing the vacuum to move a mop roller back and forth to scrub stubborn stains on a floor surface without the cleaning head shifting into an alternate sweeping position. The autonomous vacuum also includes snorkel ducts to direct fluid waste and water from the mop roller to a waste bag without mixing the fluid waste with dry waste collected by a sweeping system. The snorkel ducts are configured to kink shut when the cleaning head is in a sweeping state, to avoid unnecessary suction through the snorkel system. Additionally, the mopping system includes cleaning logic routines that can sense and control mop roller saturation and drying, and that can perform automatic mop cleaning.

Abstract: A cleaning system may have a brush roller that moves dust and debris towards a duct opening for collection. The cleaning system may be an autonomous vacuum robot or include an autonomous vacuum robot. The cleaning system may include guards that reduce the likelihood that fibrous debris wraps around rotating portions of the brush roller (e.g., around a drive pinion). Buffer zones in the brush roller may receive fibrous debris that would otherwise wrap around the brush roller and increase undesirable friction during operation. The brush roller is configured to be unlocked from a position contacting the inner surface of a cleaning head of the cleaning system. The fibrous debris stored in the buffer zones may be suctioned into a debris collection compartment of the cleaning system after the brush roller is unlocked. The cleaning system includes a wedge to seal a cavity for ingesting debris within the cleaning head from the environment.

For example, a system can be configured to receive transactions for an organization and determine a first subset of the transactions during a trip at a first location that is different from a home location of a consumer. A respective transaction associated with a second location that occurred during the trip is identified. The respective transaction is assigned to the first subset of the of transactions for the trip. A second subset of the transactions of a spending type is determined. A parameter value associated with the spending type is identified. A parameter adjustment is determined. The system is configured to cause a display of a spending type user interface on a client device and receive a selection of a parameter component.

Abstract: An adjustable-focus PV (picture/video) camera in a mixed-reality head-mounted display (HMD) device operates with an auto-focus subsystem that is configured to be triggered based on location and motion of a user's hands to reduce the occurrence of auto-focus hunting during camera operations. The HMD device is equipped with a depth sensor that is configured to capture depth data from the surrounding physical environment to detect and track the user's hand location, movements, and gestures in three-dimensions. The hand tracking data from the depth sensor may be assessed to determine hand characteristics—such as which of the user's hands or part of a hand is detected, its size, motion, speed, etc.—within a particular region of interest (ROI) in the field of view of the PV camera. The auto-focus subsystem uses the assessed hand characteristics as an input to control auto-focus of the PV camera to reduce auto-focus hunting occurrences.
