Users typically want these batteries to have sufficient capacity and charge to power usage of the device between charging opp ortunities. Thus, such devices may be plugged in to an external power source, su ch as AC mains power, whenever possible. However, at least some battery technolo gies may exhibit increased wear when charged to high states of charge relative to their full charge capacity. Thus, battery wear may be reduced, and battery cap acity may be preserved by reducing the amount of time that the battery spends at high states of charge.'

In instan ces where the evaluation process is performed manually by the supervisor it can be difficult for the supervisor to process the high volume of calls a single age nt may be involved with, let alone recognize discrepancies that exist in a small subset of the total call volume across all agents. The primary concern is that an agent can have multiple high-performing interactions with customers that obsc ure inconsistent errors on high priority items which must be included during the interaction, such as an agent meeting compliance requirements. During the manua l review process, it is very difficult for the supervisor to review and identify within each piece of content instances where a compliance statement should have been included by the agent. If left uncorrected, the absence of a compliance st atement could have lasting ramifications for the customer as well as the enterpr ise employing the contact center and the agent.

However, some users may never prov ide this information to the HVAC system. Determining whether a home owner will b e present or away without requiring the user to provide this information in adva nce poses several technical challenges because existing HVAC systems lack the ca pabilities to determine this information on their own. Without this information, an HVAC system is unable to provide energy saving benefits, for example reduced power consumption, and reduce the wear on its components because existing HVAC system are unable to automatically adjust set point temperatures without knowing whether a user is present. In some instances, it is not desirable for an HVAC s ystem to make changes to a set point temperature while a user is present because these changes may affect the comfort level of the user.'

Frequently, decisions made du ring gestation are uninformed or based off of inconsistent prior findings. There remains to be seen, an ability to determine if products and services are compat ible for a user and also compatible based on the gestational phase of the user.'

'Robotic vacuum cleaners are known in the art, which are equipped with drive mea ns in the form of a motor for moving the cleaner across a surface to be cleaned. The robotic vacuum cleaners are further equipped with intelligence in the form of microprocessor(s) and navigation means for causing an autonomous behaviour su ch that the robotic vacuum cleaners freely can move around and clean a surface i n the form of e.g. a floor. Thus, these prior art robotic vacuum cleaners have the capability of autonomously vacuum clean a room in which objects such as table s and chairs and other obstacles such as walls and stairs are located.

Spectral mammography (SM) can also be used to guide the biopsy exam, with or without contrast agent i njection, either in 2D (CESM guided biopsy) or in 3D (CEDBT guided biopsy). 'X-ray mammography (MG) is an X-ray imaging modality used to scan breasts for sc reening, diagnosis and/or interventional examinations. The effectiveness of X-ra y mammography is affected by numerous factors, one of which is the two-dimension al (2D) rendering of images obtained.

In the case of compliance, variables such as a n occupant load, an area being consideration, egress path length, egress path wi dth, clearance around a lavatory, access for person with disabilities, and other physical parameters of building aspects. In addition, the design plan parameter s may vary for different types of building use. For example, a factory space wil l have different requirements than a residential space, which in turn will be di fferent than an office space, retail space, restaurant space or other space for public access.

The gro und sweeping robot or the ground mopping robot has a single function, and may be only used for sweeping or mopping a ground. If it is desired to sweep and mop the ground at the same time, both apparatuses have to be prepared, occupying a do uble space and affecting the disposal of other components due to the unreasonabl e design of structures.' In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors' summary information for this pat ent application: 'The specific solutions are described below.

This calibration may be carried out on the basis of a mathematical model. Starting from a generalized model, the param eters of the model are adapted to individual sensors during the calibration proc ess. For this purpose, the sensors adopt particular measuring points and the mod els are adapted via matching algorithms as a function of the measured values. If the sensors are installed, for example, soldered, in users, altered ratios may then occur and the original calibration is potentially no longer optimal. A user may now recalibrate the sensor. This recalibration is complex, however and pote ntially requires knowledge about the exact functioning of the sensor and of its calibration, which is not available to the user.

For example, a human operator may mix reagents together, manually calibrate a robot arm, and operate a pipettor robot to handle liquids. However, in some instances, a lab may include components (e.g., equipment, robots, etc.) that can be automa ted to perform protocols.
