Abstract: System, method, and media for providing navigation of an affective vehicle environment to an occupant (such as a driver) of a vehicle. Sensors in and on the vehicles in the affective environment may detect characteristics of the occupants of the vehicle and stress levels may be assigned to the occupants. The navigation may be based at least in part on the location and destination of the vehicles in the affective environment and the stress levels of the occupants of the vehicles.

Abstract: System, method, and media for an augmented reality interface for sensor applications. Machines making up a particular production or processing facility are instrumented with one or more sensors for monitoring their operation and status and labeled with machine-readable tags. When viewed by a technician through an augmented reality display, the machine-readable tags can be recognized using a computer-vision system and the associated machines can then be annotated with the relevant sensor and diagnostic data. The sensors may further form a mesh network in communication with a head-mounted display for an augmented reality system, eliminating the needs for centralized networking connections.

Abstract: Media, method and system for augmenting media through automotive motion. Embodiments of the invention broadly receive media control inputs from a user consuming media, determine a vehicle behavior corresponding to the media control input and, if it is feasible to do so, actuate one or more vehicle controls to implement a vehicle behavior corresponding to the media control input. For example, if the user navigates their in-game avatar left, the vehicle may implement a corresponding lane change to the left. Embodiments of the invention may also augment the presentation of the media based on the sensed conditions of the vehicle.

Abstract: System, method and media for altering the mood of an occupant (such as a driver) of a vehicle. Reckless operation of motor vehicles by emotionally disturbed drivers is a major cause of traffic accidents just like alcohol, drug, and cell phone use. Emotional states such as annoyance, anger, anxiety, depression, and feeling hurried can significantly impair awareness by slowing observation and reaction times. Scents, both pleasant and unpleasant, have major effects on mood and sense of well-being. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention provide for an adaptive system which can detect a driver's mood, disperse an appropriate scent to improve the mood if it is unsafe, and learn the impact of scents on different users to effectively improve their moods.

Abstract: In order to affect the mood of a vehicle operator (for example, to increase attentiveness), embodiments of the invention automatically sequence appropriate audio cues into the sound playback from a vehicle's sound system. These cues represent events related to the vehicle or taking place in the vicinity of the vehicle, and can be modulated or effected so as to better convey the vehicle event. These cues may also be part of a coherent soundscape representing a fantasy scenario, such as motocross, sailing, or stand-up paddle boarding. Both the soundscape and the mapping of vehicle events to sound cues are configurable by the user.

Abstract: Described are means and methods for controlling flowering in plants. In particular, described are nucleic acid molecules which, when expressed in sense orientation or in antisense orientation, respectively, in plants lead to a prevention of flowering. Moreover, a method for controlling flowering in plants is provided which comprises the inducible restoration of flowering in plants in which flowering is prevented.

Abstract: A candy pick and mix merchandiser system has a small foot print. Depth adjustable merchandiser vessels have an array of vertically stackable candy delivery bins of varying sizes and configurations. A tongue and groove attachment means attaches and interlocks the vertically stackable candy delivery bins to form a stacked configuration wherein the bins are stacked one over another in an interlocked array. Vertical stability strengthener means strengthen the interlocked array of vertically stacked candy bins. The vertical stability strengthener means comprise a plurality of male and female plugs adapted for insertion into a plurality of vertically and horizontally parallel and side-by-side flush perforations in frontal lower corners of vertically disposed left and right acrylic panels of said bins. The candy delivery bins are front or rear loading. Funnel and rake bins in which a rake passes through a narrow aperture in the funnel minimize entry of contaminants into the bin.

Abstract: An after-heat removal system for a nuclear reactor, especially a gas-cooled uclear reactor in which the core is formed by a pile of spherical nuclear fuel elements, comprises an outlet in the side reflector of the reactor core which is connected to an after-heat removal system and draws the hot gases from a location within the pile, the return line from the after-heat removal system opening into the main cooling gas inlet.

Abstract: There is provided a single-tank X-ray unit having a closed cooling circuit arranged in a housing for circulating a cooling agent to discharge the heat generated in the anode. The cooling circuit includes a feed duct and a return duct respectively wound helically around the high-voltage generator. A fan is so positioned in the housing as to pass cooling air over the cooling circuit, the housing having openings respectively for the intake of the cooling air and the discharge of the same.
