Furthermore, the combination of the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with the drug olexisome provided a synergistic disease modifying effect in a mouse model of neurodegenerative disease. In particular these effects were associated with the symptoms associated with ALS.

Abstract: A warning is generated when a computer simulation controller is determined to have insufficient charge to permit use through an upcoming simulation sequence. Thus, responsive to a computer simulation having a first context and a computer simulation controller having a first voltage, a human-perceptible indication of low voltage is presented, whereas if the computer simulation has a second context typically requiring less input than the first context, no indication is presented if the controller has the same first voltage.

Abstract: An autonomous personal companion utilizing a method of object identification that relies on a hierarchy of object classifiers for categorizing one or more objects in a scene. The classifier hierarchy is composed of a set of root classifiers trained to recognize objects based on separate generic classes. Each root acts as the parent of a tree of child nodes, where each child node contains a more specific variant of its parent object classifier. The method covers walking the tree in order to classify an object based on more and more specific object features. The system is further comprised of an algorithm designed to minimize the number of object comparisons while allowing the system to concurrently categorize multiple objects in a scene.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to automated detection of railroad track features. Images of a railroad track are captured and analyzed to identify track features such as anchors, spikes, rail ties, tie plates, and joints. Various image processing techniques are utilized to accurately distinguish between track features and other objects in the captured images. Track features identified in the images are assigned identifiers and locations and stored in a database so that a status and/or condition of the track features may be monitored for maintenance purposes.
