Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and a device for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal by applying a desired pressure to extremities of a mammal. The device generally includes a pliant body element that is adapted to receive a portion of an extremity of the mammal therein, and then apply a pressure to a portion of the extremity when a pressure is provided to a region in which the extremity is positioned within the pliant body element. By evacuating the region in which the extremity is enclosed, a contact surface area between the extremity of a mammal and the pliant body element is increased, due to the external atmospheric pressure acting on the pliant body element against the skin of the extremity of the mammal. The application of pressure assures that sufficient contact and thermal heat transfer (heating or cooling) is provided to the extremity of the mammal.

Abstract: Data about vehicle movement at a stoplight are collected. A stoplight cycle time is predicted with a probability model. The data are compared to the predicted stoplight cycle time. A noise function is applied to the data to generate noise-applied data. The probability model for the predicted stoplight cycle time is updated by scaling the probability model with the noise-applied data to generate a new probability model. A recommended vehicle operation is provided via a network to at least one vehicle computer based on the predicted stoplight cycle time determined by the new probability model.

Abstract: A method may provide, by a content distribution system, access to interactive content, such as a game, to a group of users and obtain a social media data indicating an interaction level of the users on a social network. The method may determine a content sharing rating for the users based on the social media data and select a user from the group based on the content sharing rating. The method may determine a recommendation for an incentive to be provided to the user within the interactive content, in exchange for the user performing an action to connect the interactive content to the user on a social network, such as by posting a link to the game. The method may provide the recommendation to an administrative system that administers the interactive content, such as the game developer, and that is distinct from the content distribution system.
