Abstract: A database comprises user information records for users subscribing to one or more goods through a subscription service. In some aspects a user record may contain information about the user, one or more households of the user and the constituents of those households, and other information about the user, households, and/or constituents of household. User records are updated based on various signals corresponding to user feedback and amounts of provided goods and utilized in iterative training of consumption models by which consumption of different goods is determined based on household properties. The consumption model outputs a predicted consumption of goods for a household and amounts of goods are translated into one or more SKUs for fulfillment by the subscription service.

Abstract: Provided is a system configured to obtain a set of images via a camera of the computing device, input the set of images into a neural network, and detect a target physical object with the neural network. The system may determine a contour of the target physical object and a first three-dimensional reconstruction of the target physical object. The system may generate a virtual representation and a virtual object based on attributes of the virtual representation, where a first attribute of the set of attributes includes the first three-dimensional reconstruction. The system may associate the virtual object with the virtual representation and displays the virtual object at pixel coordinates of a display that at least partially occlude at least part of the target physical object, where a position of the virtual object is computed based on the contour.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a head-up display using a holographic element formed on a visor of a wearable element (e.g., a helmet) are disclosed. Light projectors along with corresponding optics are positioned on both sides of a user's head within the wearable element. Light from a light projector is directed towards the holographic element to reflect towards the eye on the opposite side of the head from the light projector. With light reflecting from both light projectors, images are perceived by the user is being positioned on a virtual screen where the virtual screen is positioned outside the wearable element. Images on the virtual screen are displayed stereoscopically and with a large field of view for the user.

Abstract: A system for generating a three-dimensional map of earth's surface and identification of objects is disclosed. The system is configured to receive data, from one or more collectors, comprising three-dimensional data generated from radio frequency signals reflected from earth's surface. The system is further configured to generate an initial version of a baseline three-dimensional map of earth's surface, wherein generating the three-dimensional map includes determining, based on the surface data, a presence of surface features in the earth's surface. Anomalies may be detected based on a comparison of subsequently received data and the baseline, with the system determining that a first anomaly matches an object having an object type. Based on this determination, the system may create a data structure indicating an object type and a geographic location of the matched object, wherein the geographic location data is usable to track the matched object during an analysis period.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning a photobioreactor apparatus are described. Cleaning devices are described that include flexible members coupled to a propulsion member. The cleaning devices may be moved through tubes of the photobioreactor apparatus using the propulsion member. As the cleaning devices move, the flexible members may make contact with walls of the tubes, thereby cleaning the walls of the tubes. Cleaning devices are also contemplated that include particles with some rigidity that intermix with the fluid inside the tubes and clean the walls of the tubes as the particles contact the walls.

Abstract: A photobioreactor apparatus is described. The photobioreactor provides a system for growth of biological organisms such as algae. The photobioreactor system includes a plurality of transparent conduits coupled between two manifolds. Fluid and feedstock are flowed through the conduits and light is provided at a growth wavelength for growth of biological organisms in the conduits. The manifolds may include passages that allow the fluid and feedstock to flow linearly through the conduits (e.g., from one conduit to the next). The linear or series flow of the fluid and feedstock through the plurality of conduits provides an efficient and cost-effective approach for growth of biological organisms.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an active display of a user's environment on a wearable element (e.g., a helmet) are disclosed. Displaying an active display may include displaying a head-up-display on a display screen on the wearable element that is positioned to cover the field of view of the user when the user wears the wearable element. The head-up display may include a display generated from images (e.g., video) captured by one or more image capture elements (e.g., cameras) coupled to the wearable element. In certain instances, the head-up-display replaces the field of view of the user while the wearable element is worn by the user. The head-up-display may also display data received from one or more sensors coupled to the wearable element and data received from another data source in wireless communication with the wearable element.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing gesture recognition that may be used to control the display of data in a heads-up display (HUD) is disclosed. The HUD may be a HUD associated with a visor on a user's helmet or another aeronautical helmet. An image capture system (e.g., camera) coupled to the helmet (or spacesuit) may be used to capture images of gestures being made by the user. Recognition of the gestures may then be used to control the display of data in the HUD. Control of the display of data may include controlling the selection of data that is displayed or turning on/off the HUD display in an on-demand capacity.
