In some examples of factory automation, a ro bot performs a single task repeatedly for longperiods of time (e.g., months or years). However, robotic systems are not yet widely deployed to performtasks in less structured, less predictable environments. To better integrate robotic sys tems into theseenvironments, robotic systems must be able to adapt to new tasks and environmental conditions.

An under-display camera refers to a camerapositioned underneath a display of an electronic device. Often times, an under-display came ra can be usedas a forward-facing camera to capture still or video images of a user of an electronic device. This approachhelps to obscure the camera and redu ce or eliminate the need to include circular, pill-shaped, notched, orother cut outs in a display. Due to optical diffraction and noise generated by having a di splay in front ofa camera lens, image restoration is performed in order to impr ove the quality of images captured by anunder-display camera.”

With the he lp of these application devices, one-piecesealing elements produced by punching , for example, are adhered to substrates. These sealing elementshave an undersi de and an upper side. The underside in this case forms a first main joining surf ace, and theupper side forms a second main joining surface. The sealing element s can be adhered to a first substratewith their first main joining surface. Sub sequently, a second substrate can be adhered to the second mainjoining surfaces of the sealing elements. With the help of the sealing elements, the two substra tes canthereby be connected to one other. In particular, a one-piece sealing el ement produced by punching canbe shaped in such a way that when the first main joining surface is connected to a first substrate and thesecond main joining su rface is connected to a second substrate, a cavity is formed between the two substrates which is enclosed by the two substrates and the sealing element in such a manner that the twosubstrates and the sealing element seal the cavity from th e environment of the two substrates and thesealing element.

Then, a rib peeling unit which is const itutedby a nylon pull thread between two side plates provided with predetermine d interval arranged on otherrobot arm is hooked on an end part of each rib and slid to the other end side. The rib peeling unit isadvanced along an incision s o that ribs are peeled from the meat (see Patent document 1).

When these si tuations occur, the external impact will be transmitted to the inside of therob ot joint, causing overload impact to transmission components such as gears insid e the joint, resultingin structural damage and leading to the situation that th e robot cannot work properly. Therefore, an overload impact protection structure is needed to absorb energy during overload impact, thus protectingtransmission components such as gears.

One exampleapplication is detection, classificati on, and/or segmentation of unwanted and/or invasive plants, such asweeds. Anoth er example application is detection, classification, and/or segmentation of plan t disease. Yetanother example application is detection, classification, and/or segmentation of other types of plant traits,such as plant genus or species (eit her of which may fall under the definition of plant “type”), phenotypictraits ( e.g., gender, strain), and so forth. Various types of machine learning models ca n be trained tosegment and/or recognize various types of plant traits in digita l images. Convolutional neural networksare one popular example. However, the ac curacy of these machine learning models depends largely on theamount of trainin g data used to train them. Manually annotating training images on a pixel-wise b asisand/or using bounding shapes can be prohibitively costly. Moreover, images of plants having some traitsmay not be as widely available or easily acquired a s images of plants having other traits.”

(Los Altos , California, UnitedStates).The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: ““Field“Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to machine learning and, more particularly,to a system for inferring thoughts and a process through which a human generated labels for a codingscheme.“Background“Coding unstructured content (e.g., text, images, etc.) with labels is used in m any different applications,and is a vital part for qualitative data analysis. C oding unstructured content generally involveshumans for naming objects in image s, identifying sounds in audio clips, detecting activities in video clips,and t he like. Unfortunately, such conventional techniques are severely limited in tha t they ignore a greatdeal of human behavior and other such variables, such as u ncertainties of human conduct, preferences,biases, and the like. In particular, relying on humans in the loop for coding results in the definitions oflabels, which by their nature are very subjective. A large part of the subjectiveness is due to the differencesof how people interpret the context based on their biase s, expectations, etc., and how people take that intheir thinking process.

The heating elements may be located in, on or belowthe cooking sur face and can be arranged in various configurations across the cooking surface. T henumber of heating elements can include, for example, four, six, or more depen ding upon the intendedapplication and user preferences. The heating elements ca n vary in size, location, and capability. In use,a cooking utensil such as a po t is placed on a respective heating element and the heating element isheated wh ereby heat is transferred to the pot via conduction, induction and/or convection depending onthe type of heating element. However, when cooking using the cookt op, the user must frequently, if notconstantly, observe the cooking utensil and check the status of heating of the cooking utensil to avoidthe occurrence of u ndesirable or hazardous events, such as overflow, overheating and/or burning, wh ichmay be associated food waste, heavy smoke and/or damage to the cooking utens il or, in extreme cases,damage to the cooktop.
