Field“The disclosure relates generally to an improved computer system and, more specifically, to a method,apparatus, system, and computer program product for analyzing financial risk of a financial security.“2. Description of the Related Art“Virtual reality (VR) simulation systems provide users with the perception of being physically presentin a virtual environment. The users may interact with the virtual environment using hardware that providesfeedback to the users. Through such feedback, virtual reality simulation systems may be used to simulatedifferent experiences. Although VR applications are being developed on a daily basis for various purposes,they primarily serve the areas of media and entertainment.”

    Patent Issued for Method and apparatus for retrieving units from a storage system (USPTO 11858737)

    99-103页
    查看更多>>摘要:News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Some commercial and industrial activities require systems that enable the storage and retrieval of a largenumber of different products. One known system for the storage and retrieval of items in multiple productlines involves arranging storage bins or containers on rows of shelves arranged in aisles. Each bin orcontainer holds a plurality of products of one product type. The aisles provide access between the rows ofshelves, so that the required products can be retrieved by operatives or robots that circulate in the aisles.It will be appreciated, however, that the need to provide aisle space to access the products means that thestorage density of such systems is relatively low. In other words, the amount of space actually used for thestorage of products is relatively small compared to the amount of space required for the storage system asa whole.

    Patent Issued for Speaker segment analysis for conferences (USPTO 11863711)

    103-106页
    查看更多>>摘要:From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the followingquote: “Enterprise entities rely upon several modes of communication to support their operations, includingtelephone, email, internal messaging, and the like. These separate modes of communication have historicallybeen implemented by service providers whose services are not integrated with one another. The disconnectbetween these services, in at least some cases, requires information to be manually passed by users fromone service to the next. Furthermore, some services, such as telephony services, are traditionally deliveredvia on-premises solutions, meaning that remote workers and those who are generally increasingly mobilemay be unable to rely upon them. One solution is by way of a unified communications as a service (UCaaS)platform, which includes several communications services integrated over a network, such as the Internet,to deliver a complete communication experience regardless of physical location.”

    Methods And Systems For Pseudorandom Batch Code Printing And Product Authentication' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240005339)

    106-111页
    查看更多>>摘要:The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “Counterfeit items are a large problem in many industries, particularly in developing countries.They can erode consumer confidence or in extreme cases, cause actual, physical harm, and/or generatelosses for manufacturers and distributors. For example, a customer who receives a poor quality counterfeitmay associate that bad experience with the brand. Even in developed markets, where counterfeiting is amore rare occurrence, significant brand risk exists. For example, a study from the 1990s on a poor-qualitycounterfeit shampoo released in Europe showed that on average a disappointed consumer told six peopleabout a poorly performing product.

    Patent Issued for Image space motion planning of an autonomous vehicle (USPTO 11858628)

    112-114页
    查看更多>>摘要:Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Increasingly, digital image capture is being used to guide autonomous vehicle navigation systems. Forexample, an autonomous vehicle with an onboard image capture device can be configured to captureimages of a surrounding physical environment that are then used to estimate a position and/or orientationof the autonomous vehicle within the physical environment. This process is generally referred to as visualodometry. An autonomous navigation system can then utilize these position and/or orientation estimatesto guide the autonomous vehicle through the physical environment.”

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Computer Surrogate Model To Predict The Single-Phase Mixing Quality In Steady State Mixing Tanks', for Approval (USPTO 20240005147)

    114-118页
    查看更多>>摘要:News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Mixing is a critical step in developing drug substances. Low quality of mixing may lead to out-ofspecificationdownstream drug substance and/or wasted capital during the operation. High levels of mixingare required to ensure downstream product quality. This is achieved by mixing inlet streams (e.g. bufferflow, retentate flow, etc.) in a tank while continuously stirring the tank at constant speed using an agitator.The resulting volume exits the tank and goes to the subsequent steps. Several configurations are usuallyutilized to enhance the degree of mixing such as use of internal baffles, placing the agitator at an angleto the tank, use of tangential or radial blades and so on. The quality of mixing, usually represented by“standard deviation” of trace concentration in the tank and in the tank exit, is a complex relationshipof tank geometry, working volume, inlet and outlet configuration and flow rates, agitation speed anddrug substance properties that is typically realized only after long and expensive in-situ studies. In-silicomodels based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been used in order to reduce the cost andtime associated with these studies; however, while resulting in reduced experimentations, CFD modeling isprocessor-intensive, time consuming, and sometimes expensive (e.g., if third party vendors are required).”

    Patent Issued for Actuator and gripper head having an actuator (USPTO 11858125)

    118-120页
    查看更多>>摘要:News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“The robotics landscape is rapidly changing with the introduction of collaborative robots. Robots areworking beside humans and able to be deployed for a constantly growing number of tasks. With thiscomes the ability to use a single robot for many different tasks. Robots need to be rapidly redeployedand adapted to different workpieces or tasks. Different sizes, types, and shapes of material need to betransported via the robot. This requires many different robot process end effectors to be developed andmaintained. Gripping can be a challenge for a robot being deployed to do many different tasks or handlingmany different workpieces. Development of grippers for new workpieces can be very costly and take anextended period of time to develop. Maintaining a large library of robot end effectors to handle differentworkpieces or jobs can be very costly.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Systems And Methods Of Property Valuation', for Approval (USPTO 20240005348)

    121-124页
    查看更多>>摘要:News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“One of the challenges in the residential construction industry is estimating the price at which a newproperty should be sold at. A number of factors apart from the location weigh in. This price determinesprofit margins, and in a way, the very survivability of the builder company.“Traditionally, this has been done by studying historic prices of new homes sold in the region and manuallyextrapolating the target price for the new house under construction. There are several disadvantages tothis approach. For one, this can be done only by individuals who possess a high level of domain knowledge.Secondly, there is no explanation of how the price was arrived at.
