Abstract: A packaging system and methods for the preservation of volatile chemicals in a product containing volatile chemicals is disclosed. The packaging system generally has one compartment adapted for the storage of the volatiles containing product in communication with a second compartment which contains a source of volatile chemicals such that the volatile chemicals disperse into the first compartment. The make up of the volatile chemicals in the second compartment are selected either to match the naturally occurring volatile chemicals in the product to be packaged or to complement the naturally occurring volatile chemicals in the product to be packaged. In this way, the naturally occurring volatiles content of the product can be preserved or odors and flavors that do not naturally occur within the product can be added. In some case, the product to be packaged is cannabis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a systems devices and methods for an exercise gaming platform particularly suited for multiple users. The exercise gaming platform has a variable resistance exercise device operatively coupled to a virtual reality environment rendered by a computer such that user exercise motion on the variable resistance exercise device translates to movement of an avatar representing the user in the virtual reality environment and wherein the virtual reality environment has collision objects capable of a collision with the avatar representing the user in the virtual environment, and wherein the collision of a collision object with the avatar representing the user in the virtual environment causes the resistance level of the user's variable resistance exercise device to change. Also disclosed are methods for providing power to virtual machines and methods for procedurally generating virtual terrain changes in response to changes of resistance on a variable resistance exercise device.
