Signature moves for judgment on the pleadings on Kohler's design patent infringement claims, arguing that: 1) at least some of the accused products are plainly dissimilar from the claimed designs; and 2) at least some of the accused products were sold or offered for sale long before Kohler applied for at least some of the design patents-in-suit:

Gaza journalist Diaa Al-Kahlout describes 33 harrowing days in Israeli custody - Committee to Protect Journalists
Diaa Al-Kahlout, the veteran Gaza bureau chief for the Qatari-funded London-based newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, had been covering the Israel-Gaza war for two months when he became part of the news. On December 7, Al-Kahlout was detained along with members of his family by Israeli forces in a mass arrest in Beit Lahya in northern Gaza....

A Study on Centralised and Decentralised Swarm Robotics Architecture for Part Delivery System
Drones are also known as UAVs are originally designed for military purposes. With the technological advances, they can be seen in most of the aspects of life from filming to logistics. The increased use of drones made it sometimes essential to form a collaboration between them to perform the task efficiently in a defined process. This paper investigates the use of a combined centralised and decentralised architecture for the collaborative operation of drones in a parts delivery scenario to enab…

The energy-dependent gamma-ray light curves and spectra of the Vela pulsar in the dissipative magnetospheres
We study the pulsar energy-dependent $γ$-ray light curves and spectra from curvature radiation in the dissipative magnetospheres. The dissipative magnetospheres with the combined force-free (FFE) and Aristotelian (AE) are computed by a pseudo-spectral method with the high-resolution simulation in the rotating coordinate system, which produces a near force-free field structure with the dissipative region only near the equatorial current sheet outside the light cylinder (LC). We use the test par…

Investigating Space Utilization in Skyscrapers Designed with Prismatic Form
The enduring appeal of prismatic shapes, historically prevalent in office building designs, persists in contemporary skyscraper architecture, which is attributed particularly to their advantageous aspects concerning cost-efficiency and optimal space utilization. Space efficiency is a crucial factor in prismatic skyscraper design, carrying substantial implications for sustainability. However, the current academic literature lacks a complete exploration of space efficiency in supertall towers wit…

Multimodal Transformers for Real-Time Surgical Activity Prediction
Real-time recognition and prediction of surgical activities are fundamental to advancing safety and autonomy in robot-assisted surgery. This paper presents a multimodal transformer architecture for real-time recognition and prediction of surgical gestures and trajectories based on short segments of kinematic and video data. We conduct an ablation study to evaluate the impact of fusing different input modalities and their representations on gesture recognition and prediction performance. We perf…
