Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying and notifying requestors that may be candidates for a particular autonomous vehicle in order to find those candidates that may be willing or able to relax their travel constraints to match the autonomous vehicle. A request flow may involve surfacing the potential option of matching to an autonomous vehicle before setting a specific destination. For example, the request flow may involve determining that an autonomous vehicle is sufficiently near an in-session potential requestor. Before the potential requestor enters a specific destination, the request flow may present the possibility of the potential requestor being matched with the autonomous vehicle. In some examples, the request flow may then provide available drop-off locations that are compatible with the autonomous vehicle for selection by the potential requestor. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Artificial expression constructs for modulating gene expression in GABAergic neurons and astrocytes are described. The artificial expression constructs can be used to express SLC6A1 for the treatment of SLC6A1-associated disorders, among other uses.

Abstract: A computer-implement system and method for purchasing a non-fungible token (NFT) of a specific event or item is disclosed. The system comprises a processor and a memory unit to store a set of instructions executable by the processor, a database to store a plurality of data associated with the customized NFT, and a user device to provide a digital marketplace that provides graphical user interface. The system sells NFTs related to specific events or items in real-time. The NFTs act as an access pass or voucher. The system directs the customer towards an NFT marketplace via a QR code or an inaudible tone, where the customer purchases or sells the NFT to provide access to the specific event or item. Each NFT has a set of digital attributes and being cryptographically linked with respective event or item. Further, the NFT directly unlocks access related to the specific event or item. A computer-implement system and method for purchasing a non-fungible token (NFT) of a specific event or item is disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system and cleaning solutions for the ultrasonic cleaning of drill cuttings and the resulting cleaned drill solids is described. The drill cuttings are characterized by their liquid/solid composition, texture of solids and size of particulates. A cleaning solution formula having surfactant(s) and viscosity agent(s) is selected based on the characterization of drill cuttings. Drill cuttings are contacted with the selected cleaning solution and subjected to ultrasonic vibrations simultaneously for a period of treatment and vibration time. Contaminants from drill cuttings are removed to beneficial use standards and the resulting cleaned drill solids may be reused at the well site. The cleaning may occur at a well site in conjunction with drilling activity and the cleaning solution may be changed to adapt to changes in the drill mud and/or cuttings characteristics.

Abstract: A special effects system for creating a unique walking character effect or illusion. The character appears to the observer to be a physical character or to have dimensionality rather than being two dimensional. The illusion or effect is achieved by mounting a projector and a thin, vertical, flat screen onto an automated cart or sled. The cart is adapted to roll on a track positioned to run from a backdrop or backwall toward a viewing space in which one or more observers or viewers may be located during system operations. The media (or video file) of the character walking is projected on the projection surface of the screen element with the projector. The sled or cart is triggered to roll forward toward the viewing space as the media is playing so that the projected image appears to be moving and getting closer to the viewer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-intrusive monitoring by sensing physical parameters such as electric and/or magnetic fields. Such apparatus and techniques may find application in a variety of fields, such as monitoring consumption of electricity, for example.

Abstract: An apparatus for aligning tubes of a heat exchanger includes a generally planar body having an insertion end and an actuator end, a first driving member received by the body and extending between the insertion end and the actuator end, the first driving member being movable axially with respect to the body, and a first biasing member operatively connected to the first driving member. The first driving member is actuatable to move the first biasing member between a clearance position in which the first biasing member lays generally flat within respect to the body, and an extended position in which the first biasing member extends generally perpendicular from the body.
