Appl. No.:

13/373456

Inventors:

Adam R. Gerlach - Oregonia OH, US
Paul Thomas - Cincinnati OH, US
Bruce Walker - Cincinnati OH, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06T 15/00
G06K 9/00

US Classification:

700 95, 382128, 345419, 901 47

Abstract:

A surface data acquisition, storage, and assessment system for detecting and quantifying similarities or differences between stored data and data collected from a scan. The system operates utilizing a method that decreases the time required for calculating a pose estimate thus increasing its performance making it more practical for applications that require real-time operations. In a preferred embodiment the system comprises one or more sensing components for scanning and measuring surface features of an object for determining the identity of the object, and determines differences between data obtained from two or more scans.

Abstract:

A ceiling suspended product display is shown for advertising sale product. The ceiling suspended product display a plurality of display panels suspended from a ceiling hook by suspension attachments. The display panels are interconnected by flexible hinges which permit the display panels to be folded into a compact package for storage and shipment. Upon arrival to the place of sale, the display panels may be unfolded to form a display and secured by twist ties. The ceiling hook is designed to be suspended from the rib of a false ceiling. A cord extends downwardly from the ceiling hook to a swivel. Three equal length chains are connected from the lower portion of the swivel and each of the chains are connected to eyelets in the display panels. The swivel permits the display panel to rotate under the influence of drafts in the store to attract the attention of the consumer.

International Classification:

A01G 23/04
B09C 1/00

Abstract:

Platforms, platform systems, and safety grates and related methods used to facilitate the installation of plant-based remediation systems are provided therein. A platform system can include a platform having a frame supporting a flooring structure that has a surface on which a worker can stand. The platform and flooring structure can have central aperture therein. The platform system can also include a sleeve frame positioned proximal to the central aperture. The sleeve frame can have sleeve clamps securable thereto for holding a sleeve ring round at least a portion of the central aperture and to hold a liner sleeve to the sleeve ring. Further, the platform system can also include a safety grate attachable to the platform. The safety grate can comprise a grid of crossbars with folding funnel guideboards secured to the grid of crossbars for funneling soil when backfilling the liner sleeve once the liner sleeve is placed in an excavated hole.

Abstract:

A method for inspecting absorbent articles is provided. The inspection is performed using an inspection algorithm generated with a convolutional neural network having convolutional neural network parameters. The convolutional neural network parameters are generated by a training algorithm. Based on the inspection, characteristics of the absorbent articles, such as defects, can be identified. Absorbent articles having identified characteristics can be rejected, or other actions can be taken.
