Such work may include floor cleaning, lawn care, and transportation. One approach toward confining robotic devices may be the use of large physical b arriers to block the robotic device from entering, or becoming proximate with, o ne or more objects and/or areas of operation. However, this solution is neither efficient nor practical as physical barriers may encumber routine movement throu ghout the area of operation and an undesirable degree of human intervention is r equired. In prior art, sophisticated navigation systems have been used whereby t he robot is trained or programmed to travel along predetermined paths or its pos ition is monitored within a stored map. In such navigation systems large amounts of memory are required to store information related to each location. This is u ndesirable, particularly in cases where the robotic device is to be used in vari ous locations as a large amount of memory would be required. The robotic device may also need to be trained or re-programmed for each new location or each time the work area is changed which is unpractical for consumer use. Other approaches in prior art include the installation of cables or wires to define the boundary of an area. These may be aesthetically unpleasing and can be a tripping hazard. Furthermore, installation may be difficult as cables or wires are ideally to be placed underground or beneath carpet. These methods mentioned in addition to ot her prior art proposed may not be ideal as they often require the use of additio nal equipment and substantial setup. The present invention addresses these issue s by introducing a method for confining and/or modifying the movement of a robot ic device by means of a recognizable boundary component which may already pre-ex ist within the working area. Once recognized, the boundary component can be used to erect virtual boundaries.”

For example, several comm ercial genomic diagnostic tests are used to guide cancer treatment decisions. Th e Oncotype IQ suite of tests (Genomic Health) are examples of such genomic-based assays that provide diagnostic information guiding treatment of various cancers . For instance, one of these tests, ONCOTYPE DX® for breast cancer (Genomic Heal th) queries 21 genomic alleles in a patient’s tumor to provide diagnostic inform ation guiding treatment of early-stage invasive breast cancers, e.g., by providi ng a prognosis for the likely benefit of chemotherapy and the likelihood or recu rrence. See, for example, Paik et al., 2004, N Engl J Med. 351, pp. 2817-2825 and Paik et al., 2016, J Clin Oncol. 24(23), pp. 3726-3734.

Avalanche transceivers emit signals that can be detected by a rescue team to help in pinpointing the location of buried victims. “Currently a challenge to avalanche transceiver performance is separation of sig nals coming from the transceivers of different buried victims. When their transm itted pulses overlap, it becomes difficult to track the signals from the buried victims and “mark” or “suppress” found victims. Some conventional avalanche tran sceivers can solve this problem by detecting minor frequency differences between different units to separate the transmit pulse pattern of each unit over time.

A single customer may have multiple portable financ ial devices. Each portable financial device has different reward programs to pro vide one or more reward benefits to the customer, such as cashback, discount and reward points, upon using the portable financial device for a payment transacti on. The array of one or more reward programs associated with each portable finan cial device makes it difficult for the customer to decide which portable financi al device is beneficial for a given payment transaction in order to gain maximum reward benefits. Conventionally available systems use geolocation information to recommend the portable financial device for a payment transaction. However, th e conventional systems lack accuracy as it is very difficult to detect exact geo location of the customer. Further, while using the conventional systems, the cus tomer is required to use the portable financial device for the payment transacti on. Thus, the customer is required to always carry the portable financial device s with him. Furthermore, the conventional systems also fail to consider real-time data associated with the portable financial devices while recommending the por table financial device to the customer. Therefore, the conventional systems are not reliable.

Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of tire storage is represented in which several layers of tires 10 partially overlap one another. In this type of tire storage (known in the art as a “rick-rack” arrangement), the tires are stacked in a container 12, with the direction of overlapping being reversed from one layer to the next. In this configuration, the space between lateral parts 1 2a of the container 12 is optimized in an optimal manner. The container 12 may b e selected from containers for transporting tires, including, without limitation, pallets, truck dumpers, chain-linked trucks, van bodies and their equivalents. The structure of this stacking pattern is described in detail in the patent DE2 426471A1.
