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: “This application relates to inventory management systems (e.g., order distribution or fulfillment systems). “Some current inventory management systems use drag-along carts on which human agents (pickers) place items they select (pick) to fulfill orders. In a zone-less pick-to-cart system, an agent drags his/her cart from location to location as instructed by the computer system of the facility. The cart can accommodate multiple orders and typically is equipped with dedicated containers or cartons that are keyed to the orders being fulfilled by the agent during that cart load. In some cases, the agent wears a headset and/or is provided a terminal, such as a mobile computing device, via which the agent is provided ordered, item-byitem instructions on which items to pick. As the agent walks around the facility among the different fixed shelving units, he/she drags or pushes his/her cart manually. During a given shift, the agent may end up considerably fatigued from having to propel the cart around the warehouse.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Determining Visual Overlap Of Images By Using Box Embeddings', for Approval (USPTO 20240046610)

    114-117页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Brostow, Gabriel J. (London, GB); Garcia-Hernando, Guillermo (London, GB); Rau, Anita (London, GB); Turmukhambetov, Daniyar (London, GB), filed on October 13, 2023, was made available online on February 8, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “ “The subject matter described relates generally to computer vision, and in particular to determining visual overlap of images. “Determination of visual overlap of images is useful for three-dimensional (3D) re-localization and reconstruction in various applications, such as augmented/virtual/mixed reality (e.g., parallel reality game), robot navigation (e.g., self-driving vehicle), and so on. For example, 3D re-localization and reconstruction often requires a determination of the extent to which two images picturing the same 3D surface. However, conventional methods for such a determination can be very expensive, as the conventional methods typically require local feature matching and geometric verification of relative pose between every pair of images. The cost is further multiplied when a query image is evaluated against a gallery, especially when many images in the gallery are irrelevant. Thus, improved technology for image matching is needed.”

A conventional autonomous robot may include a sensor for detecting obstacles on the floor of the house and can plan a route by robotics technology in order to navigate around the house. “When the autonomous robot automatically navigates in an area, one of the most important tasks is to avoid obstacles on its navigation path. Various conventional sensors can be used in the autonomous robot for detecting the obstacles. For example, a light sensor can be used to detect the obstacles by sensing detection lights emitted by a light source when the detection light is reflected by the obstacle on the navigation path.

The assignee for this patent, patent number 11891864, is National Oilwell Varco L.P. (Houston, Texas, United States). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Work of the presently named inventor, to the extent it is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description that may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against the present disclosure. “Many pipe handling operations, such as drill pipe handling operations, are conventionally performed with workers performing manual operations. For example, drilling of wells involves tripping of the drill string, during which drill pipes are lowered into (tripping in) or pulled out of (tripping out) a well. Tripping may typically occur in order to change all or a portion of the bottom hole assembly, such as to change a drill bit. Where drill pipe is tripped into a well, stands or lengths of drill pipe may be supplied from a storage position in a setback area of the drill rig and connected end-to-end to lengthen the drill string in the well. Where drill pipe is tripped out of a well, stands or lengths of drill pipe may be disconnected from the drill string and may be positioned in the setback area.

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Cryopreservation is a process essential to maintaining the integrity of biological substances over extended periods of storage. At sufficiently low temperatures, all chemical processes and biological functions of such substances are effectively halted, allowing them to be stored safely over nearly any length of time. A cryogenic storage freezer enables such storage by providing an insulated and controlled cryogenic environment to accommodate a number of biological or other samples. In typical storage freezers, samples are loaded into racks or trays, each of which holds several samples. The racks or trays are manually removed from the cryogenic environment of the freezer, presenting the rack or tray to a user for removing samples from, or adding samples to, the storage freezer.”

    'Empirical Optimization Of Concrete Recipes' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240047020)

    131-136页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent application by the inventors Howell, Brian (Berkeley, CA, US); Jin, Shijian (Cambridge, MA, US); Nagatani, Ray Jr. Anthony (San Francisco, CA, US); Papania-Davis, Antonio Raymond (Oakland, CA, US); Spirakis, Charles Stephen (Mountain View, CA, US); Yan, Weishi (Oakland, CA, US), filed on August 5, 2022, was made available online on February 8, 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: “Many industrial processes rely upon suspensions of particles in a fluid state, ranging from ink resins for 3D printing, recipe formulation for food engineering and processing, suspensions for powder injection molding, drilling fluids carrying cuttings in oil and gas and mining exploration, and casting concrete for construction. In such applications, accurate prediction of the rheological behaviors of the suspension can be used to optimize processes to transport/deliver the suspension (e.g., reduce required pressure to pump) or modify the behavior of the fluid suspension to improve its performance in use (e.g., increase carrying capacity for drilling fluids, reduce/increase workability of concrete). However, as the complexity of suspensions increases (e.g., the number of unique types of particles within the suspensions increase), it becomes more challenging to accurately predict their rheological properties due to the increase in the number of different interactions which can occur. Multiscale material like concrete (e.g., coarse aggregate suspension in a mortar matrix, which is a suspension of sand particles in cement paste, which is a suspension of cement molecules in water) contains many different types of particles from micro- to macro-scale.
