Abstract: This invention presents a computer-implemented method for answering polls and surveys using large language models (LLMs), a novel approach that leverages an LLM's ability to emulate a group of human responses for diverse data collection. The system involves training a single or multi-modal LLM on a comprehensive dataset comprising one or more categories of text, image, sound and other sensory input data, which can be continuously updated with current events and trends, to ensure accurate representation of human behaviors and opinions. Utilizing a user interface, the method includes receiving survey and poll questions, posing these questions to a unique instance of the trained LLM and receiving the answers, recording the question-answer sessions, and compiling the results for presentation. Additionally, the system prioritizes data privacy and integrates a feedback mechanism for continuous improvement, providing an efficient solution to answering surveys or polls in the digital age.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are biosensors, and, more particularly, biosensors using carbon nanotubes, an electronic reader for use with the biosensors, and systems and methods employing them. The biosensors employ preserved biologics on the carbon nanotubes which results in shelf-stable, robust biosensors.

Abstract: A tread pattern for a shoe is provided that improves the comfort, grip, and/or other aspects of the shoe as perceived by a consumer when the shoe is worn. The tread pattern comprises a plurality of tread members positioned on at least a portion of the bottom surface of the outsole of the shoe. In some instances, the plurality of tread members may be arranged in nested rows to form the tread pattern. In other instances, the plurality of tread members may be arranged in other configurations to form different tread patterns. Additionally, the tread members may be substantially V-shaped and include a first arm, a second arm, and a vertex. Each tread members may be contoured such that at least a portion of the tread member protrudes a greater distance from the bottom surface of the outsole of the shoe than at least another portion of the tread member.

Abstract: A flow control device including a first channel, a second channel, and a diaphragm positioned between the first channel and the second channel, wherein the diaphragm includes a first side and a second side that faces an opposite direction as the first side. The diaphragm is configured and arranged to alternatively operate in both: a closed condition in which flow from the first channel to the second channel is impeded, and an open condition in which flow from the first channel to the second channel occurs. The diaphragm is also configured and arranged to change from the closed condition to the open condition when a force of a positive fluid flow through the first channel towards the first side of the diaphragm exceeds a combination of a gravitational force and a force of atmospheric pressure upon the second side of the diaphragm.

Abstract: A diaphragmatic elbow damper joining two angularly oriented channels and configured to seal the channels in the absence of fluid flow overcoming gravity and atmospheric pressure.
