A significant component of the delay between a customer placing a nd receiving an order can arise from the time it takes for a picker to retrieve ordered items from a retail shelf or other storage location. Reducing the time t o obtain items after an order is placed can result in significantly faster deliv eries, which can improve customer satisfaction and profitability.”

This has become a more accessible option as increasing numbers of people carry video chat enabled smartphones, web cam-equi pped personal computers, etc. Any distractions between the provider and the pati ent during the call can lead to a poor call experience as well as misdiagnoses a nd misunderstandings. As such, video and audio quality are important in such int eractions to ensure clear communications between the health care provider and th e patient. Additionally, the doctor is limited to the information that the patie nt can describe or show using their electronic device. As such, the patient need s to be able to effectively capture images of whatever ailment they are experien cing in sufficient detail for the doctor to make a proper diagnosis.

Robots may be manipulators that are physically anchored (e.g., industria l robotic arms), mobile platforms that move throughout an environment (e.g., usi ng legs, wheels, or traction-based mechanisms), or some combination of one or mo re manipulators and/or one or more mobile platforms. Robots are utilized in a va riety of industries including, for example, manufacturing, warehouse logistics, transportation, hazardous environments, exploration, and healthcare.”

There are various platforms o r providers providing the service of live streaming, and the competition is fier ce. It is important for a platform to help its content providers (or content dis tributors) to generate rewards or revenue in an efficient manner, for example, b y identifying users with higher potential of achieving higher contribution for t he content providers. “US patent application publication US20220383234A1 discloses a method for schedu ling live events for one or more performers in a plurality of geographic locatio ns. Chinese patent application publication CN114268841A discloses a method for s electing users for live interaction.”

It is als o known to schedule workloads (e.g. tasks) on those cloud resources. “When one or more tasks require compute/storage resources for their execution, i t is well established to provide these resources in a cloud, such that the tasks can be executed on those cloud resources. “Typically, when one or more tasks are added to a workload, additional cloud res ources are required to be initiated to accommodate this increased workload. Init iating a new cloud resource introduces latency into the process, adding pressure to the existing workload, and so it is desirable to have such additional cloud resources initiated in advance of new tasks being added to a workload.

Captured scene geometry can be used by a machine vision syst em to direct a robot arm to grab objects in a pick-and-place operation, providin g improved performance of a robotic system compared to one without the vision sy stem. A captured three-dimensional scene can be used by a mobile robot to naviga te through its environment. The three-dimensional data captured by a flying vehi cle, such as a drone, can be used in its own light as a digital representation o f a portion of the real-world, such as for mapping or inspection purposes.

The products or items are typically stored on pallets or other storage containers and placed on different levels of the racks. A transport dev ice, either manually driven or automated, travels up and down aisles between the racks and the lifting device is used to retrieve a pallet storing a particular product or item thereon from the racks. However, the storage and retrieval of pr oducts is very labour intensive and time consuming. With the rapid growth of e-c ommerce, there has been a drive to provide a more automated storage and retrieva l system to cater for the increasing demand of online purchases.

Developing such practical machine learning a pplications from scratch, however, involves a number of time consuming and ineff icient procedures, including setting up environments for creating a machine lear ning model, acquiring testing data, training and optimizing the machine learning model, publishing the optimized machine learning model, and sharing the machine learning model with others. For example, a programmer with significant knowhow with libraries such as TensorFlow and Keras, must devote a significant amount of time in order to set up an environment from scratch. Once set up, optimizing th e machine learning model requires manual and time consuming processes which may cause inconsistent results. Further, publishing optimized machine learning model s is usually a manual process. These manual processes often introduce unnecessar y model risk because of potential training data inconsistency, library version d ifference, and other human errors etc. Furthermore, sharing of the machine learn ing model among team members is conventionally achieved by manually copying file s and libraries, which is both time consuming and error prone.

A liquid discharge head for d ischarging liquid is mounted in the liquid discharge device using such an inkjet method. “Such a liquid discharge head includes a known liquid discharge head in which a liquid discharge surface is protected by a cap and which performs conveyance or transport (for example, see Patent Literatures 1 and 2).” In addition to obtaining background information on this patent application, News Rx editors also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent appl ication: “In one aspect of an embodiment, a liquid discharge device includes a h ead, a holding portion, a cap, and a second fixing member. The head includes a f irst surface configured to discharge liquid. The holding portion holds the head. The cap is fixed to the head using a removable first fixing member and covers t he first surface. The second fixing member fixes the head and the holding portio n.”

In particular, a list of users in the pag er’s calendar who are authorized to address the anomalies and problems, is defin ed. The traditional pager type support may not be practical in an IOT monitoring environment because of the fact that an IOT network is a giant network of conne cted devices and people, all of which collect and share data about the way the c onnected devices are used and about the environment around the connected devices . Further, conventional methods of addressing anomalies and problems reported by IOT devices require a dashboard per IOT network, and assigning a technician per IOT network.
