Abstract: In some implementations, a modular heel system may include a heel having a heel body and a shaft. The heel body may be configured for attachment to a sole of a shoe. The shaft may extend from the heel body and may have at least one flat side along its longitudinal axis for retention of interchangeable modular elements. The modular elements may be configured to be detachably affixed to the heel, each modular element having a through-hole having a geometry which is complementary to the longitudinal geometry of the shaft. The modular heel system may include a retention element configured to secure the modular elements when attached to the heel and to serve as a durable base which is in contact with the ground during use.

Abstract: Eyewear equipped with a LiDAR sensor and a wide-angle lens uses computer vision to process American Sign Language (ASL) and convert it to speech. This wearable device facilitates communication between the hearing impaired and individuals who do not understand ASL or may need help understanding at least some parts of ASL. It is seamlessly integrated with a phone or other smart device and can be managed through an app. The data is transmitted from the wearable device to the phone and then to a server for the ASL-to-speech and speech-to-text models. The device serves as a dynamic display, presenting augmented reality captions from the speaker via speech-to-text, producing clear audio for ASL-to-speech, and accurately recognizing ASL through the camera and Lidar.

Abstract: A training simulation system and/or method is applied via a virtual environment. The simulation is an application that allows trainees to engage in highly dynamic, unpredictable, and immersive scenarios, which would not be feasible or cost-effective with traditional training methods. Due to the AI-driven nature of the characters, each interaction is unique, offering diverse and individualized experiences for each trainee. The simulation can be trained via a machine learning network based upon both real-world and virtual scenarios, including actions and reactions of counselors and those under care.

Abstract: Various versions of a customer-friendly smart dining table are disclosed for streamlining all processes and meeting customer needs and interests from food ordering to delivery directly on the table. The table may comprise an interactive interface capable of receiving touch-based inputs, voice-based inputs, or both from patron(s) and displaying output(s) respectively. The interface may comprise a feedback module to provide automated assistance to the patron(s) in food selection and customization of the menu, an order management module to allow the patron(s) to place food orders, a payment module to enable the patron(s) to complete payments directly from the table, a power management module to manage power usage and ambient lighting, and a leisure module to interact with various entertainment options. The interface may be capable of concurrently processing inputs from a plurality of patrons seated at the table.

Abstract: A system and method displays real-time incidents and resources on a map and/or in a report to enable incident commanders to view and allocate resources accordingly.

Abstract: Computer-based systems are described that afford the ability to associate a travel related object with a travel relate event and/or other travel related object. The system enables the acquisition, integration and management of data supplied by multiple, heterogeneous sources; single and multi-level exception handling, error correction, data enhancement, and data prediction; and fine-grained control of the distribution, access and display of this data to multiple users and non-users of the system. The system supports both consumer-facing constructs (e.g., applications that allow passengers to track flight and flight-specific information), and supra-management system-facing constructs (e.g., advancements, enhancements and augmentations of and for the management of the National Airspace System or airport ground traffic systems).

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention enable the display of objects in relation to each other through the use of multiple layers. The display can be refreshed without refreshing the screen; only individual layers requiring updating are refreshed.
