Abstract: A method and system of detecting sound by acoustic beamforming with structural sensors wherein an array of sound sensors placed on an elastic base surface can pick up vibrations caused by incoming acoustic waves and acoustic beamforming enables highly sensitive directional listening. In some embodiments, only a single sensor is used affixed to an elastic base surface and the remaining sound reception may be constructed using virtual sensors that are created by extrapolation from the sound received by the single sensor.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a head-mounted device including a display configured to display one or more images and a reflective lens spaced apart from the display. The reflective lens is configured to reflect the one or more images towards a user. The reflective lens includes a curved surface having a fixed curve in a vertical plane and a variable curve in a horizontal plane. The system also includes a ride vehicle configured to move along a path. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the head-mounted device and the ride vehicle. The controller is configured to determine a location of the ride vehicle along the path and instruct the display to display the one or more images based on the location of the ride vehicle.

Abstract: A system for facilitating the inspection of a structural part includes a processor and a non-transitory memory containing computer-readable instructions. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor automatically identifies, in one or more images captured by a camera, one or more landmarks on a structural part. Additionally, the processor automatically evaluates a state of the one or more identified landmarks and presents, on a display, information concerning the evaluated state of the one or more identified landmarks for assisting a user of the display in performing an inspection of the structural part.

Abstract: A fishing lure having a body with a first end and a second end. Extending through the body is one or more strips of fabric that preferably extend along a length of the body. Also, embedded in the body is one or more strands that extend form the first end of the body to the second end.

Abstract: In at least one aspect, a water-sports board is configured to collect environmental data. The water-sports board includes a waterproof sensor housing and, disposed within the housing, one or more sensor(s), processor(s), memory device(s), switch(es), batteries. The sensing device is configured, in a first state, not to store environmental data sensed by the at least one sensor in the at least one physical memory device. The sensing device is configured, in a second state, to store environmental data sensed by the at least one sensor in the at least one physical memory device.

Abstract: Improved techniques for scheduling and organizing events and/or meetings. An example includes use of improved location tracking techniques, which can employ geofencing. Another example includes an improved schedule that is clearly organized and easy to interpret. Another example includes improved methods for suggesting potential participants for an event.

Abstract: A hardware and software platform for collaboratively reviewing prior group to group interactions while planning, producing and archiving new group to group interactions. The platform may be used to collaboratively create group to group interactions. The system may be used to link two or more stadia, movie theatres or homes so as to provide interaction between the groups at each location simultaneously as a game or other event takes place.
