Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a system and method for collecting and merging physiological data from a plurality of medical devices and sensors where merged physiological data from the medical devices is sent to a magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) display device. MRI scan data and data from the plurality of medical devices may be collected in real time and may also be sent over a computer network for storage. Alternatively data may be sent over one or more computer networks from each different medical device and be merged at a remote computing device.

Abstract: Provided is a method including monitoring an event occurring on a path along which an autonomous vehicle is currently travelling by using information obtained while the autonomous vehicle is travelling and determining whether to travel along a detour path when the event is detected. In particular, the method includes determining whether to travel along the detour path according to a cost incurred when the autonomous vehicle travels along the detour path.

Abstract: A method for designing a smoothie pod includes: receiving input from a user via a user device that communicates with a beverage profile system over a communications network, wherein the input is received via a graphical user interface and includes selections of ingredients to be added to the smoothie pod; determining, via the beverage profile system, that a flavor profile of the smoothie pod that is based on the ingredients selected by the user includes at least one flavor type having a percentage of the flavor profile that is outside of an acceptable threshold percentage range of the flavor profile; and presenting a suggestion via the graphical user interface of one or more additional ingredients to be added to the smoothie pod to modify the percentage of the flavor type to be within the acceptable threshold percentage range of the flavor profile.

Abstract: A system for monitoring product requirements having: a storage device (80) to store at least one of standard product requirements (84), product producer requirements (86), and product parameters (82) associated with the product; a requirement management system (90) coupled to the storage device. The requirement management system including: a requirement generation module (92) to determine product producer requirements in response to at least one of product producer input and the standard product requirements; and a requirement tracking module (94) to determine requirement performance parameters in response to at least one of the product parameters, standard product requirements, and product producer requirements.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the quality of perishable goods including: a storage device (80) to store consumer feedback (84), consumer preferences (86), and parameters (82) associated with the perishable goods (34); and a quality management system (90) coupled to the storage device. The quality management system including: a cold chain evaluation module (92) to determine quality elements in response to the consumer feedback and the parameters; and a consumer suggestion module (94) to determine perishable good recommendations in response to the parameters, the consumer feedback, and the consumer preferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods for customizing beverage profiles and associated consumption programs, such as customizing smoothie pods to be used in making smoothies and other beverages, are described. For example, the systems and methods may receive or obtain information associated with a user's previous, current, and/or future activities (e.g., workouts or training sessions), a user's sleep activities, a user's current mental acuity or sharpness, a user's health or fitness, and so on, and determine or create a beverage profile for the user based on the information for the user. Further, the systems and methods may communicate and/or facilitate interactions with various online health or wellness programs.
