Abstract: A system and method for facilitating, selecting, or otherwise providing access to electronic content and services. Access to the content and services may be provided in such a manner as to facilitate access to higher quality forms of the content. The higher quality forms of the content may relate to any number of characteristics associated with displaying, transmitting, compressing, securing, and/or otherwise manipulating the content to more suitable forms relative to another form.
Abstract: According to some aspects, a liquid crystal display panel comprising an electrode is provided. The electrode comprises a plurality of convex branch electrode portions arranged in a plane, the convex branch electrode portions being convex when viewed from a first direction perpendicular to the plane and extending from a central region of the electrode to a periphery of the electrode, and a plurality of concave branch electrode portions, the concave branch electrode portions being concave when viewed from the first direction, extending from the central region to the periphery and adjacent to convex branch electrode portions. According to some aspects, a method of applying a pretilt to molecules in a liquid crystal layer of a liquid crystal display panel by applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer via first and second electrodes is provided.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an immediate release and extended release capsule or capsule fill which mitigates the abuse of abuse-susceptible active pharmaceutical ingredients by direct intravenous injection. The fill comprises a parenteral abuse resistant liquid formulation which when mixed with water and heated, results in a turbid, viscous or bubbling mixture that is not injectable with a standard insulin syringe. The abuse-susceptible active pharmaceutical ingredient is selected from the group consisting of opiates, opioids, tranquillizers, stimulants and narcotics.
Abstract: A wine bottle is provided with a punt at a lower end which includes a cork retainer therein. A cork can thus be stored within the cork retainer. In one embodiment, the cork retainer includes two retainer surfaces which are opposing each other horizontally, and spaced apart by a length similar to opposing portions of the cork to allow the cork to fit tightly between these retainer surfaces. Space above the retainer surfaces can hold a foil wrap with the cork within the cork retainer and holding the foil wrap in place. Full re-use of the bottle is thus facilitated. In one embodiment, the bottle has an octagonal shape so that multiple bottles can be shipped together and placed adjacent each other with flat surfaces distributing loads therebetween, without forces concentrated at points thereof, and to keep the bottles in good shape for washing, re-filling and re-use.
Abstract: LiDAR systems and methods for detecting objects in a region of interest (ROI) comprising: a radiation source for emitting an output beam at a pre-determined wavelength towards the ROI; a detection system for detecting an input beam from the ROI, the detection system including: a return optical fiber configured to capture the input beam, the input beam including a desired portion having a wavelength corresponding to the pre-determined wavelength of the output beam, and a noise portion having wavelengths outside of the pre-determined wavelength, the return optical fiber including: a Fiber Bragg Grating for filtering the input beam to separate the desired portion of the input beam from the noise portion of the input beam; and a single broadband detector for receiving the desired portion of the input beam.

Abstract: A pot system and apparatus comprises an outer shell, an inner vented container configured to fit inside the outer shell, the inner vented container further comprising: a top lip, an upper basket, and a soil chamber, the pot system being configured to prevent root rot, provide air pruning, and to foster bacterial growth and air circulation to passively scrub indoor air.
Abstract: The present disclosure describes a computer implemented method, a system, and a computer program product of controlling the purification of a macromolecule solution via real-time multi-angle light scattering.
Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying clouds and cloud shadows in satellite imagery are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a plurality of images of agronomic fields produced using one or more frequency bands. The system also receives corresponding data identifying cloud and cloud shadow locations in the images. The system trains. a machine learning system to identify at least cloud locations using the images as inputs and at least data identifying pixels as cloud pixels or non-cloud pixels as outputs. When the system receives one or more particular images of a particular agronomic field produced using the one or more frequency bands, the system uses the one or more particular images as inputs into the machine learning system to identify a plurality of pixels in the one or more particular images as particular cloud locations.
Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method and system for automated incremental payments. The system may identify recurring charges from historical account data. Based on the recurring charges and an incremental period, the system may calculate an incremental amount and expected amount. At each iteration of the incremental period, the incremental amount may be assigned to a savings bucket. The value of the savings bucket may be subtracted from an actual account balance to calculate a reduced account balance. The system may generate and transmit a graphical user interface to a user device showing the reduced account balance. The system may receive current data containing a charge that corresponds to the recurring charges. The system may reduce the value of the savings bucket by the amount of the current data charge. If the current data charge is different from the expected amount, the system may adjust the incremental amount accordingly.
