Abstract: Methods for converting mixtures of anthocyanins occurring in fruit or vegetable juice or extract into particular anthocyanin molecules having desirable colorant properties are provided herein. The method of the present disclosure can be employed to increase the amount of particular anthocyanin molecules, while lowering the total number of anthocyanin molecules present in the natural juice and/or extract. The disclosure is also directed to anthocyanin molecules prepared by the methods of present disclosure and to enzymes capable of catalyzing reactions that provide such effects.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for detecting, measuring, and/or mitigating contentious multi-platform content. The method includes recording any contentious content in one or more online platforms tagged by a plurality of users, while the plurality of users are searching the one or more online platforms according to a specified criteria. The method also includes analyzing actions of the one or more online platforms to determine an extent of contentious content in the one or more online platforms tagged by the plurality of users. The method also includes generating a report indicating the extent of contentious content, for the one or more online platforms. In some implementations, the method also includes providing, to the plurality of users, an interface that specifies the criteria for identifying contentious content in the one or more online platforms.

Abstract: A modular wall component is provided. One aspect of the modular wall component includes at least two vertical panels; at least two horizontal panels configured to form a lattice frame together with the at least two vertical panels, wherein each of the at least two horizontal panels is connected to each of the at least two vertical panels by an interior joint, respectively; and a feature configured to secure a mechanical component, an electrical component, or a plumbing component.

Abstract: Intelligent concentrate mixing and delivery devices, systems, and methods are described. An intelligent concentrate mixing and delivery device includes at least one ingredient storage device (e.g., an ingredient cartridge) configured to store one or more ingredients and at least one micro-ingredient pump configured to pump the one or more ingredients into a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber reconstructs at least one finished concentrate from the one or more ingredients. The intelligent concentrate mixing and delivery device further includes at least one pump configured to pump the finished concentrate into a beverage dispensing system.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle having a seat arranged in an interior of the motor vehicle for a passenger, into which seat at least one oscillator for transmitting oscillations to the passenger's body is integrated, and having a sound system for acoustic sound reproduction in the interior, includes determining the passenger's passenger state and selecting and reproducing a type of a sound sequence that is associated with the passenger's state via the sound system. The at least one such oscillator is activated on the basis of the selected type of sound sequence. In this way, convenience functions and/or assistance systems of the motor vehicle can be improved.

Abstract: An optical inspection system of objects destined to be used in a control quality system in a series manufacturing process, which includes an optical coherence tomography device provided with a low coherence source, an objective lens so that a focal plane is defined where the part of the object to be inspected has to be placed, and an imaging device for acquiring images of the object. The imaging device is provided with a camera and includes a beam splitter (22), the beam splitter being arranged between the objective lens and the focal plane and arranged to reflect part of the light coming from the object and direct it toward the camera. The device optical coherence tomography includes a lens system provided with one or more mobile reflectors and intended to allow sweeps with the laser beam on the object.

Abstract: A computing system may provide guidance to a vehicle with hybrid power systems on how to efficiently engage the hybrid systems and the primary power source on a given plan. As a result, additional efficiency may be obtained.

Abstract: A flywheel assembly may include first and second flywheels having respective first and second flywheel parasitic load profiles. Operating speeds of the first and second flywheels may be selected based at least in part on the first and second flywheel parasitic loads. The operating speeds may be determined such that an aggregate of the first and second flywheel parasitic loads is minimized, thereby increasing the efficiency of the flywheel assembly.

Abstract: A hybrid engine assembly may include an engine having a crankshaft, a supplemental shaft mechanically coupled to the crankshaft, a flywheel energy storage assembly, and an auxiliary device. A flywheel clutch may selectively couple the flywheel assembly to the crankshaft. The assembly may be selectively operated in an engine restart mode by directly coupling the flywheel energy storage assembly to the crankshaft prior to starting the engine, and in an auxiliary power mode by directly coupling the flywheel energy storage assembly to the auxiliary device.

Abstract: A three-point automatic belt has an offering arm, which is rotatably mounted by means of a drive, for a seat in a vehicle. A rotatably mounted offering arm is designed as a belt strap part, which is stiffened in one plane, of a belt strap, and can be deflected by means of an electromotive drive. The deflectable, stiffened belt strap part can be deflected into a forward end position, in which the belt strap is offered to a vehicle occupant, into an intermediate or boarding position and into a rearward end position in which access to a storage compartment and/or a rear space and/or a rear seat is enabled.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a surgical implement retained within a surgically exposed human body cavity, include tagging means adapted to be attached to a surgical implement insertable within a human body cavity and including means for receiving an electromagnetic signal and converting it into electric current (pulses); and means to conduct said current (pulses) to the internal human (or an animal) body where said medical product is used; and means to transmit said electromagnetic signal; and detecting means including reception means for receiving a signal from a tagging means, detector means connected to the reception means for sensing a signal received from a tagging means. The envelope of the induced RF wave is demodulated, thus allowing the voltage at output to vary at a significantly lower frequency. In the event such pulses are sensed, a sensory alert is actuated and corrective action taken.
