Abstract: An apparatus for simulating a body part includes a base and an actuator connected to the base. Rotors are rotatable about an axis in response to actuation of the actuator. Each rotor includes radially extending slots. Flanges are circumferentially arranged about the rotor. Each flange includes actuating pistons slidably received in the slots of the rotors such that the flanges are moved radially relative to the axis in response to actuation of the actuator to vary a volume defined by the flanges and thereby simulate body part expansion.

Abstract: The present technology can integrate a generative response engine capable of dynamically determining and displaying generated content in appropriate user interface formats. In response to user prompts, the generative response engine can display content in a content frame separate from the traditional conversational interface. The system intelligently assesses the nature of the content and determines the most suitable display mode, enhancing user interaction and collaboration. This interface facilitates both content creation and user collaboration by enabling seamless transitions between conversational responses and rich media content, such as drawings, games, or documents. The system thus optimizes content interaction based on its type and user needs, supporting diverse use cases across media formats.

Abstract: A method of estimating chlorophyll content of a leaf including providing a device wherein the device includes a mobile computing device with a digital camera; and a peripheral removably attached to the mobile computing device, the peripheral including a light source aligned with the digital camera, wherein the peripheral provides for a space between the light source and the digital camera; capturing by the digital camera a first image of the light source turned on without the leaf interposed between the digital camera and the light source; retrieving exposure data of the first image; capturing by the digital camera a second image with the leaf interposed between the digital camera and the turned on light source; retrieving exposure data of the second image; and using a processor, estimating the chlorophyll content of the leaf based on the retrieved exposure data of the first and second images.
