Abstract: A self-preserved liquid detergent composition useful for laundry applications is disclosed. The liquid detergent composition has a water activity that enables it to be self-preserving, and it does not contain a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, a preservative, or propylene glycol, thus improving mildness. The liquid detergent composition further comprises a saccharide derivative comprising a non-reducing sugar or sugar alcohol such as sorbitol thus enabling the composition to not undergo browning reactions with amines such as found when proteins, amino acids and the like are encountered in laundry applications.

Abstract: A fabric rinse formulation (unitized or non-unitized format) that contains an amino acid chlorine scavenger, such as lysine, is provided. The fabric rinse formulation contains at least one amino acid and optionally a fabric specific agent in aqueous solution. The fabric rinse formulation (unitized or non-unitized format) can be used during or after the washing or softening of fabrics to reduce or prevent problems associated with laundering of fabrics in a chlorine-containing water source. Notably, the fabric rinse formulation (unitized or non-unitized format) can reduce or even eliminate dye deterioration.

Abstract: An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

Abstract: Body wash compositions having an increased shelf-life are described. The body wash compositions include a Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme that prevents a Maillard reaction between an amine and a reducing sugar. The Maillard reaction can cause yellowing of the body wash compositions. The body wash compositions which includes the Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme do not undergo yellowing and thus have an increased shelf-life compared to equivalent body wash compositions that lack such an enzyme.

Abstract: Hair care compositions including shampoo compositions and shampoo-conditioner compositions having an increased shelf-life are described. The hair care compositions include a Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme that prevents a Maillard reaction between an amine and a reducing sugar. The Maillard reaction can cause yellowing of the hair care composition. The hair care compositions of the present disclosure which include the Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme do not undergo yellowing and thus have an increased shelf-life compared to equivalent hair care compositions that lack such an enzyme.

Abstract: Hand soap compositions having an increased shelf-life are described herein. The hand soap compositions include a Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme that prevents a Maillard reaction between amine source and reducing sugars present in a hand soap composition. The Maillard reaction can cause yellowing of the hand soap composition. Hand soap compositions described herein, which include the Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme, do not undergo yellowing and thus have an increased shelf-life compared to equivalent hand soap compositions that lack such an enzyme.

Abstract: Techniques for allocating resources and generating resource allocation instructions are described herein. A model can generate a historical error for resources of a facility based on a first set of predicted resource imbalances and historical data for resources imbalances of the facility for a first set of previous time periods. The model can receive a second predicted resource imbalance for the resources of the facility associated with a first future time period. The model can receive real-time signals for states of the resources of the facility associated with a present time period. The model can generate an adjusted resource prediction for the resources of the facility based at least in part on the historical error, the second predicted resource imbalance, and the real-time resource signals. The adjusted resource prediction can be associated with the first future time period.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting an interruption-free version of a television program for recording on a user equipment device. In one aspect, a system transmits a first stream including a television program to a user equipment device. The system receives an indication that the television program is being recorded on the user equipment device. The system determines whether an interruption is imminent during transmission of the television program. In response to determining that the interruption is imminent, the system generates a second stream including the television program. The second stream does not include the interruption during the transmission of the television program. The system transmits the second stream to the user equipment device along with an instruction to switch recording of the television program from the first stream to the second stream.

Abstract: The use of artificial intelligence to track someone's eye or eyes at any location of a screen, not head mounted (NHM), or projected visual plane to apply various visual effects and animations to and around the characters, texts, images, etc. they are viewing. This includes but is not limited to emotional animations, animated text, appearing and disappearing characters, background animations and visual effects related to words, characters, numbers, emotion animations and phrases being in view. The author can choose where these effects occur on a visual plane or around text, characters, emotional animations, numbers, etc. before, during or after the reader views the area around its location or choose to have the a.i. algorithm apply the effects for them. Effects can also be revealed through sounds the reader makes. The a.i. also tracks eye movements to be used as a pointer on a screen NHM or projected visual plane.
