Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a machine system (1) comprising a plurality of machines (2). Said machines (2) are in particular machine tool devices with numerical control, NC, or programmable logic controller, PLC, control systems and are connected to a computing system (3) of the machine system (1). The machine system (1) further comprises human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) to present machine (2) information and at least one operator detection unit (6; 7). Said operator detection unit (6; 7) detects a machine operator (4) being in the proximity of a machine (2) and/or walking past a machine (2) and collects operator behavior data (5). The operator detection unit (6; 7) sends the collected operator behavior data (5) to the computing system (3) which selects information to be presented to the machine operator (4) in dependence on the operator behavior data (5) and selects at least one of the human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) to present said information. Finally, the respective human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) present the selected information.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus comprises a support structure, a user module, and a controller. The user module comprises a display and indicator panel that has a plurality of indicia, each associated with a monitored condition. First light emitters are arranged to project light to illuminate the indicia and second light emitters are arranged to project light off a reflective surface. The controller is coupled to the display and the light emitters, and is configured to, in response to a change in a state of one of the monitored conditions, generate on the display a state indicator corresponding to the change in the state and activate the light emitters such that a color of the light projected by the light emitters matches a color of the state indicator.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for presenting items to a user at a presentation area within a materials handling facility. In some instances, a predicted items list that identifies items that are likely to be picked by a user are determined and, when the user arrives at the materials handling facility, those predicted items are presented to the user for selection. For example, predicted items may be determined and inventory holders that contain the predicted items may be routed to a presentation area and positioned for presentation to the user. The user may browse the presented items and pick the items they desire.

Abstract: A network of wireless remote climate sensors in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system permits the creation of personalized microclimates within an enclosed space. In addition to collecting temperature and humidity data, the wireless remote climate sensors can detect whether the enclosed space is occupied by a human. Human detection is made possible by optional cameras, microphones, and gas sensors on the wireless remote climate sensors. As the human moves throughout the enclosed space, the HVAC system is able to track the human's movement using the wireless remote climate sensors. The HVAC system may adjust airflow to different portions of the enclosed space based on the human's location. The result is an efficient use of system resources to keep users at their ideal temperature.

Abstract: A microscope control method for operating a microscope, includes: capturing an item of acoustic, graphically represented and/or electronically coded voice information; comparing the voice information with stored reference commands and determining a voice command on the basis of a predetermined degree of correspondence between at least one section of the voice information and a reference command; selecting that reference command to which the voice command corresponds at least to a predetermined degree; generating at least one control command suitable for operating the microscope, wherein the control command is either an invariable control command assigned to the selected reference command or the control command is generated on the basis of a rule assigned to the reference command for forming a generated control command, and controlling the microscope by means of the assigned or generated control command. Also, a microscope is designed to carry out the microscope control method.

Abstract: A lighting device control system for controlling one or more lighting devices includes a first lighting device comprising an optical radiation source, and a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a processor, a user interface, and a memory device. The memory device includes programming instructions to cause the processor of the portable electronic device to: cause the user interface to output a plurality of candidate optical characteristics for the optical radiation source and a user-selectable setting for at least some of the candidate optical characteristics, receive a selection of at least one of the candidate optical characteristics and an associated setting for each of the selected optical characteristics, generate a light operation request that comprises each of the one or more selected optical characteristics and its associated setting and an account identifier, and transmit the light operation request to the first lighting device.

Abstract: A network- and/or client-side device configuration system facilitates automatic configuration of portable electronic devices. Predetermined configuration parameters for a particular portable electronic device are generated and stored. A computer-readable visual symbol such as an optical graphic code (for example, a tag, barcode, or matrix code) is generated by a network-side service and transmitted to an authorized user of the particular portable electronic device. The portable electronic device reproduces the visual symbol and transmits a message (which may or may not include the reproduced visual symbol) to the (same or different) network-side service. The network-side service authenticates the portable electronic device, and authorizes the portable electronic device to access and use the predetermined configuration parameters to automatically configure itself.

Abstract: In a renewable energy-based electricity grid infrastructure, distributed data analytics and artificial intelligence enable modeling and delivery of an appropriate, time-sensitive, dynamic demand response from multiple renewable energy resource components to an intelligent power distribution network. Distributed data analytics also enable the electricity grid infrastructure to virtually, optimally and adaptively make decisions about power production, distribution, and consumption so that a demand response is a dynamic reaction across the electricity grid infrastructure in a distributed energy generation from multiple renewable energy resources responsive to
