Abstract: A composition for treating an individual while reducing acute effects, including effective amounts of a psychedelic drug and a duration shortening agent. A method of treating an individual with a psychedelic drug and reducing its acute duration of action, by administering a psychedelic drug to the individual, administering a duration shortening agent to the individual, and shortening and/or reducing the acute effects of the psychedelic drug. A method of stopping the acute duration of action of a psychedelic drug in an individual, by administering a duration shortening agent to the individual after the individual has taken a psychedelic drug and stopping the acute effects of the psychedelic drug.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing augmented reality experiences. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, one or more machine-learning models can be trained to selectively process image data. A pre-processor can be configured to receive image data provided by a user device and trained to automatically determine whether to select and apply a preprocessing technique to the image data. A classifier can be trained to identify whether the image data received from the pre-processor includes a match to one of a plurality of triggers. A selection engine can be trained to select, based on a matched trigger and in response to the identification of the match, a processing engine. The processing engine can be configured to generate an output using the image data, and store the output or provide the output to the user device or a client system.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for processing mail items transported in a stream on a transport section. The apparatus includes a weighing system which is accessible via the transport section. The weighing system includes a distributor device which divides the stream of mail items into two paths, the paths being joined together again by way of a combining device. A weighing section is provided in the first of the two paths for the automatic weight determination of the mail items, and the second path is configured to bypass the weighing section, with no weighing taking place in the bypass. In other embodiments, a calming/settling section is provided immediately prior to or after the weighing section. The mail items are transported in a clamped manner on one edge over the weighing section, whereas in the settling section, the mail items are transported on one edge while leaning against one of the lateral guide belts.

Abstract: The disclosed concepts provide for a method and apparatus for processing batched items, which may comprise a multitude of flats, e.g., letters. The individual items are conveyed in a row and abut against a band conveyor with one edge. They are at least partially resting against and overlapping each other in a shingle-like manner. The overlapping flats are further separated (fanned out) by guiding mechanisms on each side of the overlapping flats that accelerate and decelerate as necessary.

Abstract: Method for equipping a machine, especially for loading a letter sorting machine, which at the beginning comprises a conveying device for the delivery of singled incoming goods. The incoming goods are flat goods, namely letters 1, which are delivered to an unloading device while heaped in a box 2. The box 2 is seized by the unloading device, emptied and singled out of the processing cycle. The removed heap 1a is levelled by the unloading device into a stack flush on two sides. The stack is delivered to the conveying device, and the emptied stack 1a is seized by a grab 5, which seizes the emptied stack 1a by means of clamping it between two seizing hands 6 and leads it towards further treatment.
