No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "In the coordination robotic system to allow a plurality of robots to perform a task in coordination with one another in a specific environment, many practical systems need a host machine as a centralized calculator. For example, there is a coordination robotic system based on a prior plan in a search task of searching the entire region by a plurality of robots. In the method, all the robots are previously provided with a shared map, so that the individual robots are equally assigned regions of responsibility with a prior plan. In an event where a robot suffers a breakdown or delays in action, there is a risk of not completing the task as a whole and/or an issue of significant preprocessing for the prior plan. "As another means, there is a coordination robotic system based on a shared map. In the method, position information of the respective robots is collected into the centralized calculator, and actions of the respective robots are collectively calculated from the obtained all position information. There is a need to create a shared map with a common coordinate system among all the robots, leading to integration of position information into the preprocessing and/or the shared map and an issue of increased cost such as for communications and the like.

    Patent Issued for Distributed application development platform (USPTO 11900084)

    123-125页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx journalists report that a patent by the inventors Antiga, Luca (New York, NY, US), Chaton, Thomas Henri Marceau (New York, NY, US), Falcon, Williams (New York, NY, US), Walchli, Adrian (New York, NY, US), filed on May 1, 2023, was published online on February 13, 2024. The patent's assignee for patent number 11900084 is Grid.ai Inc. (New York, New York, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Artificial intelligence and/or machine learning (AI/ML) development is generally inaccessible to software developers. This is because AI/ML development not only requires an understanding of machine learning (e.g., training data processing, model architectures, output generation, etc.), but it also requires an understanding of distributed computing (since AI/ML training and deployment requires coordination between different processes running on different machines), process orchestration, microservice stacks (since different steps of the AI/ML pipeline use different services, such as experiment trackers, feature stores, output visualization, etc.), microservice integration, and other tools and disciplines. For example, video analysis may require coordination between: YouTube™, running on a first machine, that processes a set of videos; Scale™, running on a second machine, that provides a UI for video annotation; PyTorch Lightning™, running on a cluster of machines, that run multiple experiments and/or train the model; and StreamLit™, running on a third machine, that proof-of-concepts the user interface (e.g., displays a labelled video). A user would need to understand how to use YouTube™, PyTorch Lightning™, Scale™, and StreamLit™, and the associated APIs, in order to even begin approaching this task. Even after they understand how to use each service, they would have to understand how to connect the service outputs together. Even after they understand that, the user would need to understand how to split the work across each machine, provision each machine, coordinate processes between the machines, and generally manage machine usage.

"Many object distribution systems receive objects in an organized or disorganized stream that may be provided as individual objects or objects aggregated in groups such as in bags, arriving on any of several different conveyances, commonly a conveyor, a truck, a pallet, a Gaylord, or a bin. Each object must then be distributed to the correct destination container, as determined by identification information associated with the object, which is commonly determined by a label printed on the object. The destination container may take many forms, such as a bag or a bin or a tote.

    Patent Issued for Stabbing guide for a robotic roughneck (USPTO 11898407)

    129-132页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent by the inventors Mikalsen, Kenneth (Sandnes, NO), Soyland, Svein (Kvernaland, NO), filed on August 11, 2021, was published online on February 13, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11898407 is assigned to Nabors Drilling Technologies USA Inc. (Houston, Texas, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Robots can assist operators when performing subterranean operations, such as drilling wellbores, casing wellbores, wellbore testing, etc., that may utilize a segmented tubular string extending in the wellbore. The robots, such as pipe handlers, can handle tubulars to present the tubulars to a well center of a rig for connection to a tubular string (such as when the tubular string is being tripped into the wellbore) or handle tubulars to retrieve them from the well center of the rig when connections to the tubular string are broken (such as when the tubular string is being tripped out of the wellbore). As connections are made, the robots may assist operators (or autonomously control equipment) to guide the next tubular onto a stickup at well center during a tripping in operation, spinning the tubular onto the stickup, and torqueing the tubular joint created when the tubular was threadably connected to the stickup. However, improvements in robotic systems are continually needed to increase efficiencies in subterranean operations."

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Proximity Sensor', for Approval (USPTO 20240053472)

    136-141页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors ELE, Vijay Yadgiri (Hyderabad, IN); KODE, Radhika (Hyderabad, IN); KURUGANTI, Dinesh (Guntur, IN); VERNEKAR, Sandeep (Hyderabad, IN), filed on December 14, 2021, was made available online on February 15, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "A proximity sensing device is used to detect, within an environment of the proximity sensing device, if a target exists and/or is used to measure a distance between the target and the proximity sensing device. The proximity sensing device comprises an infrared (IR) LED transmitter and a photodiode configured to detect light reflected from the target. The amount of current produced by the photodiode is proportional to the distance between the target and the proximity sensing device. The IR LED transmitter is operable to produce a particular number of light pulses, while an integrator integrates each resultant pulse current produced by the photodiode, to produce a digital output current. "Ideally, when there is no target present within an environment of the proximity sensing device to reflect light from the target, the digital current output should be zero. However, if the proximity sensing device is underneath a surface, such as underneath a mobile phone display glass, a portion of the light emitted by the IR LED transmitter may be reflected by the surface, which may result in an unwanted non-zero digital current output. The unwanted non-zero digital current output is referred to as crosstalk.

    'Protection Against Voice Misappropriation In A Voice Interaction System' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240055001)

    141-145页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent application by the inventor DiMaria, Steven Mark (Charlotte, NC, US), filed on October 27, 2023, was made available online on February 15, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to Bank of America Corporation (Charlotte, North Carolina, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Many voice interaction/response systems are currently in use which allow for a user to authenticate by means of their voice signature and perform various actions based on voice commands. For example, voice interaction/response systems are currently used to perform purchase transactions and conduct conventional financial institution transactions (e.g., transfers between accounts and the like). "While biometric data in the form of a voice signature appears to be a secure means for authentication, nefarious entities are constantly working to devise ways to circumvent any such technological advancements. In this regard, it may be possible to misappropriate a user's voice signature by providing inputs to a voice interaction/response system that replicate a user's voice. For example, studies have shown that laser power frequency can be used to approximate different voices "Therefore, a need exists to develop systems, methods, computer program products and that like that insures that a voice command made to a voice interaction/response system, is in fact, an actual voice and not some other means used to replicate a voice. The determination of whether a voice command is an actual voice should be made in real-time, prior to or while the voice interaction/system is processing the voice command, so that minimal to no delay exists in responding to voice commands determined to made by actual voices. As result, the desired systems, methods, computer program products and the like should prevent misappropriation of a voice by identifying those inputs that are not actual voices and taking appropriate action."
