Conventionalcatalyst loading methods inc lude sock loading and dense loading.“The sock loading method involves transferring catalyst material from a loading hopper at the top ofthe reactor into a catalyst bed, via a manway at the top of the reactor using a partly flexible loading sleeveor sock which typically cons ists of a rigid/semi-rigid pipe attached to a discharge outlet of the hopper atthe top and a flexible sock connected to a lower end of the rigid pipe. An opera tor is normally requiredinside the reactor to direct the flexible sock to ensur e even distribution of the catalyst material inside thereactor. Accordingly, th e sock loading method typically requires reactor entry by the operator and, onceinside, manual intervention by the operator.

A fulfilment system may include one or more means for collecting and storing avariety of totes for packaging. For example, a fulfilment system m ay include one or more totes that store a variety of objects, and the system may also include one or more storage walls having one or more slotsfor supporting the totes.

Thesecondary battery may be used in the for m of a battery module or a battery pack in which a pluralityof battery cells ar e packed inside a case. While there are various ways to fix the case and the bat terycells of the battery module, the case and the battery cells may be fixed us ing an adhesive material. Theadhesive material may be applied using a mechanica l device. Only when the adhesive material is appliedat a correct position and i n a correct shape, the battery cells and the case may be stably coupled.”

Such systems employ techniques to identify the words spoken by a humanuser based on the vari ous qualities of a received audio input. Speech recognition combined with natura llanguage understanding processing techniques enable speech-based user control of a computing device toperform tasks based on the user’s spoken commands. Spee ch recognition and natural language understandingprocessing techniques may be r eferred to collectively or separately herein as speech processing.Speech proces sing may also involve converting a user’s speech into text data which may then b e providedto various text-based software applications.

The mobile robot can includea body, shell, or bumper that can con tact obstacles that the mobile robot encounters during operation.The mobile rob ot can change its behavior in response to detecting an impact event with such an obstacle.For example, the mobile robot can back away from the obstacle or othe rwise alter its path.”

All these different controloptions are assi gned to two control levers (joysticks) and a few buttons and controls on a remot econtrol unit. In order for an operator to be able to use all the control optio ns, they are divided intodifferent selectable modes, so-called operating modes (driving modes) where the controls control differentmovements depending on whic h operating mode the demolition robot is working in. This makes it possiblefor an operator to control all the functions of the demolition robot with essentiall y only two control levers.

During processing, one or more substrates are placed within the reactionchamber and onto the susceptor using a robotic arm. After processing, the substrate(s) are removed fromthe surface o f the susceptor and through an opening in the reaction chamber using the robotic arm.

The media data from a mediacapture device can be captured and output for processing and/or consumption. For instance, a v ideo ofa scene can be captured and processed for display on one or more viewing devices. In some cases, mediacontent (e.g., live media content) can be provide d to a device of a user for display. Based on mediacontent of a particular type being displayed on a current channel of the media content, the user may causet he device to change from the current channel to a different channel of the media content. However,there is no mechanism or process for detecting completion of the particular type of media content.”
