Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that determine whether wait times for attractions of a theme park are shorter or longer than expected and notify guests of these shorter or longer wait times. In particular, the systems and methods determine a wait time value for an attraction by dividing a wait time for the attraction by a total wait time for all attractions of the theme park, and compare the wait time value to one or more threshold values based on an expected wait time for the attraction. In this manner, theme park guests may make a more informed decision on which attraction to wait for, and maximize their time at the theme park.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods of facilitating remote notarization of electronic instruments and storing records memorializing these notarization events. A notarization system provider may capture video feeds from different angles, and combine the feeds into a single archive multimedia file, which may be stored as a secured record of a notarization. The notarization system may be utilized as an alternative to a conventional notarization settings involving a notary, in-person. The notarization system provider may supply a signing party with an electronic instrument, which could be any instrument requiring notarization to be effective. Parties signing the document may go to a system provider's location or representatives could bring the requisite devices to the signing parties. Cameras generate video feeds of the notary, the notary, and any witnesses, and then forward the feeds to other devices in the system, allowing each party to observe the signing party sign the instrument.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for profit maximization and risk mitigation that uses nutrition modeling of animals, including poultry and marine animals, is a critical component of the respective enterprise optimization and managed environment pollution control. The optimization accuracy depends on the description of utilization efficiency of nutrients in a population of animals. Utilization efficiency of nutrients for meat production in a population is preferably based on at least three component parts of nutrient utilization, namely maintenance, linear gain, and non-linear gain, instead of one only. Efficiencies for maintenance and linear gain are fixed value(s), but nutrient efficiency is a result of intra-population variation and efficiency of linear gain, and affect profit. Similar processing is performed to obtain optimal crop growth and profit.
