Abstract: A method and a system dynamically adapt a passenger transport capacity of a transport line to the number of passengers determined for the transport line. The system contains a main evaluator configured for automatically determining, as a function of the time, the number of passengers for the transport line, and a processor configured for acquiring the number of passengers as a function of the time, a nominal timetable, and a nominal passenger transport capacity of each vehicle of the line. The processor applies a trained function to the number of passengers, and the trained function has been trained by a machine learning algorithm for predicting a future temporal evolution of the number of passengers. The processor is configured for determining a measure for adapting the transport capacity of the line to the future temporal evolution. The system is further configured for applying the measure to the transport line.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying caresses and massages, comprising an apparatus composed of a fixed lower section, which acts as a base, contains the lifting mechanisms, and houses a movable upper section, with a housing that accommodates the rest of the components of the device; a SCARA-type deployable robotic arm housed in the upper section and composed by a plurality of staggered parallel links and articulated at their ends by a power transmission mechanism comprised by motors with belts placed on pulleys coupled to concentric hollow shafts. The upper section is placed on a sliding and rotary platform that supports and guides it on the vertical axis through a vertical lead screw lifting mechanism, also allowing it to rotate on its own axis. The apparatus performs the movements by implementing a method of preset caress and massage patterns assisted by artificial intelligence and guided by several sensors.

Abstract: Various examples are provided related to autonomous unmanned drone-tethered sonar systems. In one embodiment, a bathy-drone system includes an unmanned payload vessel and an unmanned drone tethered to the payload vessel through the tether attachment point. The unmanned payload vessel can include a sensor or sensor suite coupled to a bottom of the payload vessel and a tether attachment point through which propulsive force can be applied to the payload vessel. The drone can autonomously transport the payload vessel to and from a survey location and autonomously propel the payload vessel along a survey path at the survey location.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for organizing breast milk storage bags, comprising a refrigerated enclosure, a vertical carousel automated conveyor having a plurality of racks rotating around it vertical axis with such racks partitioned in a plurality of compartments wherein the breast milk storage bags are placed, a main door that allows access to the whole arrangement and a secondary door that allows easy access to one rack for retrieving or storing breast milk storage bags, such secondary door includes a load sensor and a plurality of light sources that indicates in which slot the desired bag is located. The apparatus further includes a control panel with a User Interface and employs an algorithm that selects the breast milk storage bags according to the desired ounces sorting them by nearest expiration date and keeping track of the breast milk inventory database which is able to be accessed through a mobile app.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein include an engine that uses data science, history, and trends to successfully determine and suggest the complimentary add on and upsell items that are tailored to at least some of the customer, current trends, product popularity, recommendations, and other such factors. One embodiment, in the form of a method, includes receiving, from a process involved in processing an open transaction, data representative of at least one of products and services that are subjects of the open transaction. The method further includes querying a recommendation engine for at least one of product and service recommendations based on the received data representative of products and services and receiving, in response to the query, at least one product or service recommendation. The method may then provide the at least one product recommendation to the process involved in processing the open transaction.

Abstract: A software utility that collects a suite of psychobehavioral, neuropsychological, and biometrically relevant data from neuropsychological tests, and from passive and active interaction with a smart device. Passive interaction is a user's interaction that is not explicitly goal directed. Active interaction is explicitly goal directed (e.g., navigating menus, or interacting with an application). This data is used to: 1) provide an objective profile of memory, cognition, perception, motor function, verbal ability, and fluid intelligence; 2) adapt hardware, software, and user interface settings to make informed decisions regarding accessibility options; 3) to detect usage by someone other than the native user of the device, and 4) to provide a unifying protocol (e.g. an API) for the transmission and receipt of data collected from onboard sensor arrays and software—for processing either locally or remotely.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical packaging which includes access resistant features includes an outer shell, an insert, and a compartment with a divider tray. When the compartment is placed in an interior of the outer shell, the compartment engages with the insert through a first detent element on the insert, and a second detent element on the compartment, the first detent element and second detent element forming a detent arrangement. To release the detent arrangement and gain access to the pharmaceutical packaging, a user must exert a force on release sections of the outer shell. The actuation of the release sections disengage the detent arrangement and allow the user to access the compartment.
