Abstract: Socially aware guidance and differential access controls within a control zone are determined for users based on individual wellness goals and predicted wellness patterns. Users are socially grouped based on wellness goals and predicted responsiveness to achieving the wellness goals. Biometric data obtained from users from social situations and activities provide insight into individual wellness progress and achievement of individual wellness goals. Predicted wellness patterns further assist users with achieving wellness goals through socially aware guidance and differential access controls.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for replacing a power source element is provided. The apparatus includes a multiple compartment housing attached to a vehicle, power source elements, a controller, and a communications interface. The power source elements are placed within receptacles of the multiple compartment housing. Each power source element is electrically connected to an input power coupler for electrical connection to the vehicle such that each power source element is configured to supply power to the vehicle independently without requiring power supplied by any other power source element. The controller is configured to monitor a power level of each power source element and generate an associated power level reading. The communication interface is configured to retrieve each associated power level reading from the controller and to an external system.

Abstract: Methods forecast voice signal components, wherein processors are configured to translate the audio data that includes voice data and a fabricated background noise into frequency domain data; identify a threshold number of top frequencies within the frequency domain data; and generate a hash code value from the threshold number of top frequencies. Processors are configured to, in response to determining that the generated hash code value is unique from other hash code values that are indexed to each of a unique identification of the speaker and a background noise profile identification of the fabricated background noise, index a model of the threshold number of top frequencies in association with the hash code to the speaker identification and to the background noise profile.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for increasing the quality of interactions between two or more entities. These entities are either individuals (e.g., human beings using a computer device) or artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The interactions between all of the entities within a computing environment are mapped and analyzed. Based on the mapped interactions, a relationship model is generated in order to run multiple applications within a computing environment.

Abstract: An aspect of vehicle navigation assistance includes generating a route based on a starting point of a vehicle and a user-inputted destination location. The route specifies a set of directions defined by location points, actions, and distance values. An aspect also includes comparing the generated route to previously travelled routes stored in the memory, identifying, from the comparing, a segment of the generated route that is in common with a segment from at least one of the previously travelled routes, and determining a frequency count indicating a number of instances that the segment of the generated route appears in the previously travelled routes. A further aspect includes upon determining that the frequency count exceeds a specified threshold value, muting output of audio-based directions through a speaker of the vehicle during traversal of the vehicle through the segment of the generated route.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, environment information corresponding to a user is received. A target environment is simulated in augmented reality based on the environment information. Physiological information corresponding to the user is received. A cognitive state of the user is determined based on the physiological information. In response to determining that the cognitive state of the user is not a target cognitive state, the target environment is modified in augmented reality to achieve the target cognitive state.

Abstract: In an approach to adaptive sound masking, one or more computer processors analyze a surrounding of one or more users and stores in a database. The one or more computer processors receive a request from the one or more users for adaptive sound masking. The one or more computer processors analyzes a surrounding environment associated with the one or more users and storing a first information associated with the surrounding environment in a database. The one or more computer processors generate a cognitive sound mask base on the first information. The one or more computer processors produce a sound cone based on the cognitive sound mask and directing the sound cone at a distracting sound. The one or more computer processors adapt the sound cone based on changes to the surrounding environment.

Abstract: In an approach to generating preflex stimulation, one or more computer processors monitor one or more sensing devices for data associated with a user activity. Based, at least in part, on the data associated with the user activity, the one or more computer processors predict a user reaction associated with the user activity. The one or more computer processors transmit a preflex stimulus to at least one muscle of the user, wherein the at least one muscle is associated with the user reaction. The one or more computer processors determine a reaction time of the at least one muscle to the preflex stimulus.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a package transport container for a UAV includes a manifest device having a computer processor, a receptacle including a base that secures contents of the receptacle, a locking mechanism that couples the manifest device to the receptacle during transport, and a connector coupling the manifest device to the UAV. The processor transmits material properties of the contents of the receptacle to the UAV, receives routing information for a package to be transported, monitors coordinates of the package transport container during transport, and upon determining the coordinates match coordinates of a delivery location specified in the routing information: sends a release request signal to the UAV to release the receptacle; receives a release command from the UAV; and disengages the locking mechanism to release the manifest device from the base. The routing information is determined at least in part based on the material properties of the contents.

Abstract: A determination can be made as to whether a user of an augmented reality device is within a threshold distance from a configurable physical apparatus. Responsive to determining that the user is within the threshold distance from the configurable physical apparatus, a communication link can be established between the augmented reality device and a controller of the configurable physical apparatus. The augmented reality device can initiate the controller of the configurable physical apparatus to change the configurable physical apparatus from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein the second configuration facilitates accessibility of the configurable physical apparatus to the user.

Abstract: Machine logic (for example, software) for predicting the probability of a timeout being called at some time point during a sports contest. The machine logic considers injury and/or fatigue related input data, as well as many other types of input data (for example, various types of historical input data, various types of game specific input data generated after the sports contest begins). These predictions may be used for various purposes, such as play-calling decisions by sports coaches and predictive scheduling purposes by broadcast networks and/or advertisers.
