Embodiments generate a simulation data set including respective sets of manufacturing parameters with associated values. Embodiments generate a training data set using the generated simulation data set by performing a respective manufacturing simulation using each respective set of manufacturing parameters with associated values. Results of performing each respective manufacturing simulation include a representation of a part resulting from the respective manufacturing simulation and a toolpath of the respective manufacturing simulation. The training data set is composed of a subset of the results of performing each respective manufacturing simulation and respective sets of manufacturing parameters with associated values corresponding to the subset of the results. Embodiments train an AI model using the training data set generated, the AI model trained is configured to determine optimized manufacturing parameters.

The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for measuring an anatomical target from a set of medical images representing the anatomical target. The method comprises: obtaining at least one medical image of the anatomical target; obtaining an annotation associated with the obtained at least one medical image of the anatomical target, the annotation comprising a measurement of the anatomical target. The method further comprises obtaining a trained model configured for outputting, based on the obtained annotation, a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image. The method comprises applying the obtained trained model to the obtained at least one medical image and the obtained annotation. Thereby, the method identifies a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image. The method comprises computing a measurement of the anatomical target on the identified segmentation mask.

According to one embodiment, a product registration system includes a mobile terminal connected to a network to permit a customer to perform product registration operations on products for sale at a store, a store clerk terminal for monitoring customer transactions, a cart control server to register products in a transaction table in response to a product registrations performed with the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal to display a product registration screen. The cart control server also cause the mobile terminal to display a customer facial image captured by a camera of the mobile terminal or a basket image of a cart to which the mobile terminal is attached and transmits a warning notification to the store clerk terminal when a switching operation is performed to turn off the displaying of the customer facial image or the basket image on the display screen of the mobile terminal.

The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for annotating a set of medical images of at least one anatomical target of a same patient. The method comprises: obtaining at least one query from the set of medical images, each query being an unannotated 2D slice of a medical image; obtaining a support from the set of medical images, the support comprising a set of pairs, each pair comprising a 2D slice of the medical image and a respective 2D annotation; obtaining a pre-trained few-shot model being configured: for taking as input at least one query and a support; and for outputting, based on the inputted support, a 2D annotation associated with the inputted at least one query. The method also comprises predicting, by using the pre-trained few-shot model, a 2D annotation associated with the obtained at least one query.

A printer includes a roller that conveys a recording medium; a motor that rotates the roller; a print head that prints receipts on the recording medium conveyed by the roller; a storage device that stores receipt length information including receipt lengths of a predetermined number of printed receipts; a memory; and a processor configured to execute a program that is stored in the memory to perform the steps of: calculating a representative receipt length based on the receipt lengths in the receipt length information, determining a maximum conveying speed of the recording medium for a receipt to be printed based on the representative receipt length, and controlling the motor to rotate the roller to convey the recording medium based on the maximum conveying speed.
