Abstract: A light control film comprises a light input surface and a light output surface opposite the light input surface; alternating transmissive regions and absorptive regions disposed between the light input surface and the light output surface, wherein the absorptive regions comprise a core having a first concentration, C1, of a light absorbing material sandwiched between cladding layers having a second concentration, C2, of the light absorbing material, wherein C2<C1, and wherein the cores have an aspect ratio of at least 20.

Abstract: A continuously variable nozzle system includes a nozzle body (5) with an inlet and an outlet. A conduit is defined between the inlet and the outlet by a series connection of components which includes a flow meter (10). The flow meter (10) has a chamber (83) with internal helical splines (82) that are configured to interact with a spray liquid passing through the chamber (83) and create a cyclone-like effect. A sphere (52) is located inside the chamber (83) for free movement along a circular path (106). A sensor is located outside of the chamber (83) and configured to detect motion of the sphere (52) and generate an output (9) signal in response to detected motion.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system for controlling an object using brainwaves are disclosed. The system includes a set of EEG electrodes configured to be positioned on a head of a user and to collect EEG signals. The system further includes one or more computer readable storage mediums storing a framework configured to execute an extensible architecture through which EEG signals are interpreted for control of the object. The framework includes an EEG device plugin associated with the set of EEG electrodes and configured to extract the EEG signals from the set of EEG electrodes. The framework also includes an interpreter plugin configured to convert the EEG signals extracted by the EEG device plugin into a command. Further, the framework includes an object control plugin configured to access the command through an extension point of the interpreter plugin and to execute the command to control the object.
