(San Francisco, California, United States) has been issued patentnumber 11850633, according to news reporting originating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors.The patent’s inventors are Kalouche, Simon (San Francisco, CA, US), Kruempelstaedter, Kevin (Edina,MN, US).This patent was filed on April 19, 2022 and was published online on December 26, 2023.From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the followingquote: “The present disclosure relates to robotic systems, and more particularly, to a system including arobot and a shuttle device for picking and/or sorting items within fulfillment centers.“Warehouses, or e-commerce fulfillment centers, require systems that enable the efficient storage,retrieval and shipment of a large number of diverse products. Inventory is typically stored in containersand arranged on rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container holds a plurality of items of oneor more product types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for a human or robot to migratethe aisles and retrieve the desired products.

Such users then may purchase more or less food than is necessary, likely resultingin wasted food items. Additionally, such users may not be aware when food items have expired or havebegun to decompose or rot. Such decomposition may release gases into the refrigeration appliance thatcause further or accelerated ripening or rotting of other food items within the refrigeration appliance.”

Typically, the materials are shipped in atype of shipping containment or cargo box. Such containments or boxes include semi-trailers, large trucks,and rail cars as well as inter-modal containers that can be carried on container ships or cargo planes.However, such shipping or cargo containers can also be used for illegal transportation of contraband.Detection of these threats requires a safe and accurate inspection system, yet one that is also highlyefficient so as to not impose an excessive delay or processing burden on very high volumes of goods.

Static reference points such as fixed installed base stations (gNBs, eNBs)or transmit-receive-points (TRPs) are utilized as positioning reference nodes. However, TRP-to-UE (UserEquipment) links in factory can experience severe shadowing and LOS (Line-of-Sight) obstruction resultingin non-LOS (None-Line-of-Sight) with corresponding performance degradation. Shadowing and NLOS ishard to predict due to mobility of both user devices, i.e. UEs and mobile obstacles. Shadowing and NLOSin factory create significant RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) reduction and increased multipatheffects resulting in increased positioning error.”

For example, contaminants depositingon the electrostatic chuck and/or roughening of electrostatic chuck surfaces can cause changes in chuckingforces applied to substrates. The process drift can hinder processing operations, can cause substrate stickingand/or substrate breakage, can cause substrate pop-off during processing, can cause frontside defects andbackside defects on substrates, and can limit the operational lifespan of the electrostatic chuck.

A driver may, forexample, want to mitigate risk by avoiding certain routes that have poor visibility, poor lines of sight,unprotected left turns, sharp curves, risk of collision with other vehicles, risk of collision with animals, etc. Given a choice among multiple available routes between a given origin and destination, the driver mightprefer to use the safest of the available routes, even if the safest route is slightly longer in terms of time,distance, or both.

Conventionaldocument analysis environments may provide users with tools to view individual documents butlack functionality that makes sufficient use of metadata associated with the documents to improve userinteractions with the documents. To keep a collection of documents up to date, a user must keep track ofupcoming deadlines associated with agreements in various documents, remember to update similar clauselanguage across a portfolio of related documents, and manually perform additional actions related to editingand reviewing documents. To provide an improved, efficient, and more reliable document interactionsexperience to the user, there is a need for a system that assists a user with document upkeep, analysis,and review.”

Hence, priorart solutions have been developed where the objects are detected and tracked in the sequence of videoimage frames using image processing. When the tracked objects cross a line in the sequence of imageframes, which line corresponds to the crossline in the scene, crossings of the crossline by the objects aredetected. The number of crossings can be kept track on by means of incrementation of a counter eachtime an object crosses the crossline is detected. In addition to detecting crossing of the crossline by anobject, the direction the object crosses the crossline can also be detected. A problem with such prior artsolutions is that object detection and tracking is computationally intensive.”

For example, it may be desirable to block material that is predetermined to beinappropriate or objectionable for a user of a computing device. However, this is often not possible as apractical matter.
