    'Systems And Methods For Generating A Trip Plan With Trip Recommendations' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240027204)

    146-149页
    查看更多>>摘要:A patent application by the inventors Bauwens, Zinab (Glen Allen, VA, US); Cheng, Lin Ni Lisa (New York, NY, US); Howard, Alexis (Cobbs Creek, VA, US); Rance, Wade (Washington, DC, US), filed on July 19, 2022, was made available online on January 25, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Relationship managers add an important personal touch to the modern business world. Many businesses that sell services to other businesses have employees that frequently visit clients to “check-in” and see how current services are working out. For example, if a bank provides merchant and banking services to a restaurant, the bank may have an employee (or relationship manager) that gets to know the owner and manager of the restaurant and becomes their point-of-contact for questions regarding services within the bank. An important part of building this relationship is having the relationship manager “checkin” at the client’s place of business on a fairly regular basis. This helps the relationship manager to get to know the client’s business better and also helps to increase the number of sales interactions between the businesses.

    'Storage Systems and Methods for Robotic Picking' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240025030)

    149-152页
    查看更多>>摘要:A patent application by the inventor Kalouche, Simon (San Francisco, CA, US), filed on October 2, 2023, was made available online on January 25, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to Nimble Robotics Inc. (San Francisco, California, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present disclosure generally relates to storage systems and inventory retrieval methods, and more particularly, to a storage system and a mobile, manipulator robot for retrieving inventory items from the storage system. “Warehouses, or distribution fulfillment centers, require systems that enable the efficient storage and retrieval of a large number of diverse products. Traditionally, inventory items are stored in containers and arranged on rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container, or bin, holds a plurality of items of one or more product types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for an operator or robot to migrate the aisles and retrieve the items. It is well understood that the aisles reduce the storage density of the system. In other words, the amount of space actually used for the storage of products (e.g., the shelving) is relatively small compared to the amount of space required for the storage system as a whole. As warehouse space is often scarce and expensive, alternative storage systems that maximize storage space are desired.

    Patent Issued for Logistics robot and logistics system (USPTO 11878865)

    153-154页
    查看更多>>摘要:Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha (Toyota, Japan) has been issued patent number 11878865, according to news reporting originating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors. The patent’s inventors are Iwamoto, Kunihiro (Nagakute, JP), Kaku, Wataru (Musashino, JP), Lee, Haeyeon (Tokyo-to, JP), Oishi, Kota (Yokohama, JP), Otsuki, Nobuhisa (Toyota, JP). This patent was filed on September 29, 2021 and was published online on January 23, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following quote: “Technical Field “The present disclosure relates to a logistics robot and a logistics system for transporting a package. “Background Art “Patent Literature 1 discloses a delivery system. The delivery system includes a vehicle that houses a package, and a movable body that is stored in the vehicle and movable from the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle. The movable body includes a housing room for housing a package transferred from the vehicle, and a lid that covers an upper portion of the housing room and is movable in a horizontal direction or toward the inside of the housing room. The vehicle includes a storage room for storing the movable body, and a package compartment that is provided above the storage room storing the movable body and houses the package to be transferred to the housing room.”

    Discovery and Characterization of Terpene Synthases Powered by Machine Learning

    154-154页
    查看更多>>摘要:According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained the following quote sourced from biorxiv.org: “Terpene synthases (TPSs) generate the scaffolds of the largest class of natural products, including several first-line medicines. The amount of available protein sequences is increasing exponentially, but computational characterization of their function remains an unsolved challenge. We assembled a curated dataset of one thousand characterized TPS reactions and developed a method to devise highly accurate machine-learning models for functional annotation in a low-data regime. “Our models significantly outperform existing methods for TPS detection and substrate prediction. By applying the models to large protein sequence databases, we discovered seven TPS enzymes previously undetected by state-of-the-art computational tools and experimentally confirmed their activity. “Furthermore, we discovered a new TPS structural domain and distinct subtypes of previously known domains.
