A foldable and self-opening hanger has two arms that fold down to a closed position away from the hanger's hook member with adjacent bottom arm edges proximal to each other. The arms are closed manually in opposition to a restoring force provided by an internal resilient member that tends to move the arms away from each other toward an open position suitable for hanging light garments such as shirts and blouses that exert opposing forces on the arms less than restoring force provided by the internal resilient member. For heavier garments, a lock-release mechanism is provided that holds the arms in a fully open-locked position that supports coats, heavy sweaters and the like. A pair of release buttons on opposite sides of the hanger release the lock-release mechanism allowing arms to be folded manually to the fully closed position so the hanger may be inserted into the neck of a garment without opening buttons or zippers. The arms then can be released from the closed position by merely letting go of them and allowing the resilient member to spread the arms open to support the garment to be hung.

High port-to-port RF isolation for a test socket in a production RF test environment is achieved by establishing a coaxial-type connection between the test socket and the device under test (DUT). This coaxial-type connection results by at least partially surrounding each port of the DUT with a ground seal connected to RF ground connection. In one embodiment, the ground seal is a metallic base plate of the test socket which surrounds the RF connection to the DUT.

A method and apparatus are provided for creating a referral network for member physicians utilizing the Internet. The referral network provides its members an organized and efficient system for generating and storing patient referrals. To become a member of the referral network, a physician registers with the referral network web site. A member physician generates a patient referral document using referral network software on the referral network web site. The patient referral document is sent to another physician to refer a patient to the physician. If the recipient physician is not a member of the referral network, the patient referral document includes a promotion for the referral network to induce the physician receiving the referral document to become a member of the referral network.

Systems and methods are described include a robot and/or an associated computing system that can use various cues about an environment of the robot to apply a bias to increase the accuracy of speech transcription. In some implementations, audio data corresponding to a spoken instruction to a robot is received. Candidate transcriptions of the audio data are obtained. A respective action of the robot corresponding to each of the candidate transcriptions of the audio data is determined. One or more scores indicating characteristics of a potential outcome of performing the respective action corresponding to the candidate transcription of the audio data are determined for each of the candidate transcriptions of the audio data. A particular candidate transcription is selected from among the candidate transcriptions based at least on the one or more scores. The action determined for the particular candidate transcription is performed.

Implementations described herein relate to training and refining robotic control policies using imitation learning techniques. A robotic control policy can be initially trained based on human demonstrations of various robotic tasks. Further, the robotic control policy can be refined based on human interventions while a robot is performing a robotic task. In some implementations, the robotic control policy may determine whether the robot will fail in performance of the robotic task, and prompt a human to intervene in performance of the robotic task. In additional or alternative implementations, a representation of the sequence of actions can be visually rendered for presentation to the human can proactively intervene in performance of the robotic task.

A system includes a robotic device, a sensor disposed on the robotic device, and circuitry configured to perform operations. The operations include determining a map that represents stationary features of an environment and receiving, from the sensor, sensor data representing the environment. The operations also include determining, based on the sensor data, a representation of an actor within the environment, where the representation includes keypoints representing corresponding body locations of the actor. The operations also include determining that a portion of a particular stationary feature is positioned within a threshold distance of a particular keypoint and, based on thereon, updating the map to indicate that the portion is to be cleaned. The operations further include, based on the map as updated, causing the robotic device to clean the portion of the particular stationary feature.
