According to news reportingout of Dublin, Ireland, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as animpactful feature of the life, planning and governance of 21st-century cities. Once confined to the realmof science fiction and small-scale technological experiments, AI is now all around us, in the shape of urbanartificial intelligences including autonomous cars, robots, city brains and urban software agents.”

The blockchain storesinformation electronically, grouped together into a series of subsets of the information called “blocks.” Theinformation may be maintained by a network of computers using cryptography and consensus mechanisms,which make the records difficult to hack or alter. Specifically, the integrity of the information in eachblock may be maintained through one-way cryptographic functions that make the information immutablefor practical purposes.

Forexample, a user might modify the language of their operating system using a configuration menu, and/ormight watch foreign language video content with subtitles enabled. As a wider variety of users consumean increasingly varied quantity of content, it is increasingly likely that computing device language settingsare misconfigured. For example, a computing device might inadvertently display subtitles in a languagethat cannot be read by a viewer, and/or might output audio data too quickly to be consumed by ahearing-impaired listener.”

There have been several instances of thefabrication of such antennas with a variety of metals including nickel, copper and stainless steel.”In addition to obtaining background information on this patent application, NewsRx editors also obtainedthe inventors’ summary information for this patent application: “In one embodiment, the presentinvention concerns the realization of arrays of antennas for specific applications through the use of diffractionoptics to create patterns that will allow for parallel writing of arrays.

Sewingmachines were invented in the early nineteenth century and were made possible based on the developmentof the lock stitch sewing technique. Today, some hundred and fifty years later, this same technologyremains the foundation of garment manufacturing. The modern process of producing large quantities ofready-to-wear apparels relies heavily on manual labor, and remains inefficient relative to other industrialmanufacturing processes. Garment manufacturing includes multiple steps including sizing, folding, fitting, cutting, sewing, and material handling. The unique and varied properties of individual fabrics, such asweight, thickness, strength, stretch, and drape, as well as the complex nature of certain tasks, complicatesmaterial handling and automated garment manufacturing.

It is common in the EV cell testingand assembly environment to employ robots to pick up and place a collection of EV battery cells from ashipping container to various adjacent stations, such as a testing station used to confirm that each EV cellmeets manufacturing standards (e.g. defined cell voltage, defined cell amperage, etc.). These pick up andplace operations on the individual battery cells are done prior to populating the battery module with thegathered and tested cells. As such, current techniques for picking up and placing cells (e.g. for transferringfrom one location to another, including testing/validating) can include testing/measuring cell voltage,reading of bar codes positioning on an exterior surface of each EV cell, and generally verifying individualEV cells prior to populating the battery module. It is recognised that current pick and place systemsutilize equipment to pick up multiple EV battery cells at the same time, which can be disadvantageousin programming of the robotic system in the event of changes to the dimensions of the EV battery cellitself (e.g. for different cell types, and different cell positions within the battery module). “Battery Cell”typically refers to the “cell” itself and not the completed battery with multiple cells which is known as the“cell module”.

In many instances, the human and robotic workers areassigned to perform tasks based on their given capabilities, costs, health conditions, etc., associated withcompleting the various tasks related to the given activity.”

Although a robot may be able to reliably estimatedrivability of a surface that is directly adjacent to the robot, the robot may not be able to, with the sameor similar accuracy, estimate drivability of surfaces that are less proximate to the robot-at least not withoutfurther approaching such surfaces. For example, when a robot is traversing a room that the robot has notpreviously driven through, the robot may employ a heuristic approach to identify surfaces upon which therobot can readily traverse. Such an approach can rely on near-field vision data and can limit the abilityof the robot to operate in unfamiliar and/or dynamically changing locations with the same efficiency andaccuracy as the robot operates in more familiar terrains.”

Traditionally, inventory items are stored in containers and arrangedon rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container holds a plurality of items of one or moreproduct types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for an operator or robot to migrate the aislesand retrieve the items. It is well understood that the aisles reduce the storage density of the system. Inother words, the amount of space used for the storage of products (e.g., the shelving) is relatively smallcompared to the amount of space required for the storage system as a whole. As warehouse space is oftenscarce and expensive, alternative storage systems that maximize storage space are desired.
