Abstract: An unmanned battery optimization vehicle includes a transceiver, a battery optimization apparatus, and a control circuit. The transceiver is configured to transmit and receive signals. The battery optimization apparatus is configured to interact with a battery disposed at an unmanned autonomous vehicle. The control circuit is coupled to the transceiver and the battery optimization apparatus. The control circuit is configured to cause the unmanned battery optimization vehicle to independently navigate and travel to a present location of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part upon the signals received at the transceiver. When the unmanned battery optimization vehicle reaches the present location of the unmanned autonomous vehicle, the control circuit is further configured to direct the battery optimization apparatus to engage in an interaction with the battery at the unmanned autonomous vehicle. The interaction is effective to optimize battery operation at the unmanned autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Some embodiments include systems, methods, and apparatuses capable of determining a leader of a group of autonomous vehicles. In some embodiments, a system of autonomous vehicles comprises two or more autonomous vehicles each having a communication device and in communication with one another, each of the two or more autonomous vehicles configured to travel as a group, receive and transport goods, communicate with others of the two or more autonomous vehicles in the group, and conduct a negotiation to establish at least one leader, wherein any one of the two or more autonomous vehicles can become the at least one leader.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for providing an online shopping experience that conserves computing resources. In some embodiments, there is provided a system including: a shopping server receiving a user request to view a virtual shopping environment; a control circuit causing the display of virtual shopping images on a user computer to emulate a real-life shopping experience for the user; wherein the control circuit is configured to: navigate the virtual shopping environment; cause the display of an avatar representing the user in the virtual shopping environment; cause the display of the avatar at a first resource consumption setting where the avatar is interacting with a certain type of product; and cause the display of virtual shopping images at a second, reduced resource consumption setting where the avatar is not interacting with these products.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for providing an online shopping experience that conserves computing resources. In some embodiments, there is provided a system including: a shopping server configured to receive a user request to view a virtual shopping environment of virtual shopping images with virtual objects; and a control circuit configured to: cause the display of virtual shopping images on a user computer in an interactive simulation view to emulate a real-life shopping experience for the user; determine a real time computing resource usage of the online shopping session at different times during the online shopping session; and cause the display of at least one of the virtual objects at a first, reduced resource consumption setting when the resource usage exceeds a certain limit and at a second, higher resource consumption setting when the resource usage does not exceed the limit.

Abstract: The present invention provides heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compounds and methods of using the compounds as glucocorticoid receptor modulators.

Abstract: A urinary catheter generally includes a core lumen, a bladder retention mechanism, and a stent. The core lumen is insertable into a urethra, and defines an inlet end and an outlet end opposite the inlet end. The bladder retention mechanism is coupled to the inlet end of the core lumen for hingedly moving between a release position and a retention position. The stent is coaxially mounted on the core lumen adjacent the bladder retention mechanism, and defines a stent inlet configured to receive a fluid from the bladder, and a stent outlet configured to discharge the fluid around the core lumen and into the urethra.

Abstract: A multi-compartment modular cooler comprising multiple fully enclosed environments, including an insulated cold storage environment, a dry storage environment and an adjustable storage environment that may be either heated or cold storage. The fully enclosed environments may separate into self-contained individual containers. Each of the separate, self-contained enclosures may also recombine into a single unit, simplifying transportation of each section. Connection and disconnection of each section of the cooler may be facilitated by interfacing a plurality of pillars extending from a bottom surface of the upper section into one or more cup holder wells molded into the lid enclosing a lid of the lower section. The depth of the cup holder wells and the length of each pillar being inserted into the cup holder wells may provide significant stability for maintaining the upper section of the multi-compartment cooler in position while connected to the upper section.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for store management. A system for store management comprises: a storage system in a backroom area, a conveyor system, a return sensor system, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to: receive an interact request from a customer via a user interface device in a showroom area, cause the conveyor system to retrieve one or more items from the storage system and transport the one or more items to the item interaction area based on the interact request, receive a return request, cause the return sensor system to collect data from the at least one item, determine whether to accept the return request based on the data collected by the return sensor system, and cause the conveyor system to retrieve the at least one item from the customer and make the at least one item available for another customer.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for providing a virtual shopping experience. A system for providing a virtual shopping experience comprises a virtual map database, an interaction rules database, a communication device, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to provide a virtual shopping space including representations of a plurality of items for sale to a user interface device associated with a customer, determine a store section corresponding to a location of the customer within the virtual shopping space based on the virtual map database, retrieve an interaction rule associated with the store section from the interaction rules database, wherein the interaction rule specifies supported interactions among a plurality of available interactions in the virtual shopping space, detect a customer movement in the store section, and modify the virtual shopping space based on the customer movement and the interaction rule associated with the store section.
