Mobilerobots may perform routine tasks, su ch as vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, cutting grass, etc., withoutmoving into cer tain areas specified by the user. However, on occasion, a vacuuming robot operat ingwithin a first area may be permitted to travel into a second area prior to s atisfactory completion of, forexample, a vacuuming task within the first area. In other instances, the vacuuming robot may collide withand, potentially, damag e a fragile or unstable object that is not detected by sensors accessed by the vacuuming robot. In other instances, a user may simply prefer that a vacuuming ro bot remain outside ofan area, for example, if the area is currently in use. Thu s, it may be useful to confine a robotic device soas to operate within certain areas and to prevent unwanted transition between areas.

The overwhelmingly large number ofthese goods often makes n avigation and discovery of new digital goods an extremely difficult task. To cope with the constantly growing complexity of navigating the large number of goods , users are typically ableto discover and navigate to sets of content items usi ng search queries and/or by viewing pages of relatedcontent, such as artist inf ormation pages that include content associated with the particular artist. Fort hese reasons, it is important that metadata for such media items be accurate. Fo r example, when twoartists with similar names are assigned the same artist iden tifier, when an album by one artist is mistakenlyassigned an artist identifier for an artist with a similar name, or when an a same artist is assigned two different artist identifiers, the content associated with the artist is said to be m ismatched.”

O ne environment in which mobile robots could beused is a construction jobsite, w here a mobile robot could perform a variety of functions in the environment.One such application is the printing of drawings, text, or other markings on a surf ace such as the concretefloor of a building under construction.”

Conventional systems for authenticating a user may be circumventedby a sophis ticated fraudster or imposter. For example, conventional systems may ask the use r one ormore challenge questions and may authorize the user if the user answers the challenge questions correctly.However, these conventional systems are typi cally only capable of generating simple challenge questionsthat relate to basic information of the user such as where the user went to high school. A sophistic atedimposter may easily obtain answers to such simple challenge questions, ther eby reducing the effectivenessof these conventional systems.

Asynchrony between a patient and the ventilator can have significantconsequenc es on a patient’s health and recovery time. It is a common phenomenon, with inci dence ratesranging from 10% to 85%. Patient ventilat ion asynchrony might be due to factors related to the patient,to the ventilator , or both. This issue has been associated with unwanted outcomes, such as discom fort,dyspnea, worsening of pulmonary gas exchange, an increased work of breathi ng, diaphragmatic injury, sleepimpairment, and increased use of sedation or neu romuscular blockade, as well as increases in the durationof mechanical ventilat ion, weaning time, and mortality. Currently clinicians are required to continuou slymonitor a patient’s ventilator data to check for patient ventilator asynchro ny, which may require manualevaluation of a large amount of data by an expert.”

A media item can include a media item and/or an audio item, in someinstances. Us ers can consume the transmitted media items via a graphical user interface (GUI) providedby the platform. In some instances, one or more content segments of a media item may be more interestingto a user than other content segments. Identi fication of segments of a media item that are interesting toa user and/or depic t a particular event is referred to as video localization.”

Onechallenge of purchasing shoes onl ine is that a user may not have the opportunity to test the shoes on theuser’s feet before purchasing, and thus, it may be difficult to find shoes that are a g ood fit on the user’sfeet.”

In somecases, a mobile robot has a heading, or a front end which is ideally positioned towards the location wherework shoul d begin. It may be beneficial in some cases for a mobile robot to be able to aut omaticallysense the direction of its heading in relation to parts of an environ ment, for example, the walls of a room,so that it may maintain a desired headin g in relation thereto.”

For example, a machine translation process can substitutewords in a firs t language with corresponding words in a second language. However, a simple subs titutionof words can generate inaccurate translations because a phrase can have a specific meaning that is differentthan a literal translation of each word wi thin a phrase. For example, the English phrase “leap year” has aspecific meanin g (i.e., a year that includes February 28th) but a word for word substitution can translate“leap year” into the second lan guage as words that indicate a year that leaps.
