Abstract: A synthetic lifelike behavioral character animation system and methods for simulating lifelike behavior in an animated character. The system provides simulated lifelike character behavior for use in a variety of interactive contexts such as AI interactive agents, video games, and metaverse-type experiences. The system processes contextual information and generates behavioral outputs that drive character animation that is lifelike and believable in nature.

Abstract: The lightweight elevator interior includes wall panels and a ceiling structure. In the preferred embodiment there is a layered effect created by a first applied layer of trim, partially covered by a second layer of wall panels. The thickness of the wall panels results in a front layer of laminate, and a rear layer of metal trim. The result fully hides the cab interior while maintaining the low profile of the lightweight elevator interior. The trim is preferably constructed from a reflective material, such as stainless steel. Because the trim bridges/crosses the corners of the cab interior, it is laser stitch cut, the trim shipped flat, and then bent to fit on-site. The wall panels are preferably constructed from a lightweight structural plastic panel. On one side is a decorative laminate, on the other side is a double-sided adhesive tape.

Abstract: The invention provides for a simple and inexpensive holder for musical instruments.
