Abstract: Methods and systems that allow for supply chain logic to be instrumented in such a way that a supply planner can see the major factors driving KPIs, as well as drill down to the lower level to see the impact of each item at the smallest possible level.

Abstract: A DC powered cooking appliance which uses an induction or a resistance based DC heating element and excludes AC powered heating elements and preferably does not rely on directly connected combustion powered heating elements. Some embodiments include wattage of 1500 watts or less, voltages of 40 or 48 volts or more and are installed on a boat, van, rv or bus such that an inverter of that boat, van, rv or bus is not electrically connected to the cooking appliance.

Abstract: A dynamic supply chain planning system for analysis of historical lead time data that uses machine learning algorithms to forecast future lead times based on historical lead time data, weather data and financial data related to locations and dates within the supply chain.

Abstract: A cooping appliance which has a multi-layer lid, the lid preferably includes three spaced layers and venting between the outer and middle layers such that the outer most layer remains cooler to the touch compared to prior art grills. The lid preferably can comprise materials of relatively low melting points or burning points such as polymers or leather or wood or other decorative materials which ordinarily would get too hot on a grill lid. The outer layer is preferably curved in shape with the middle and inner layers formed from a number of straight sections with bends therebetween.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method conveys information within a virtual environment to a person wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset in a real-world environment. The method includes determining a visual routine for the person to view in the virtual world, the routine comprising a series of images, including triangles, wherein a triangle has a defined perimeter and apex, the visual routine lasting a predetermined time. Presenting, based on the determining, a first triangle to the person in the virtual world; and generating a virtual graphical mark at a prescribed location about the defined perimeter of the first triangle within the virtual world, the virtual graphical mark on the defined perimeter being visible to the person, a relative position of the virtual graphical mark with respect to the apex conveying information relating to an aspect of the visual routine.

Abstract: The invention relates to immunogenic peptides encoded by an open reading frame (ORF) encoded by at least part of the genome of a coronavirus in the opposite sense to positive sense RNA capable of translation. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding such peptide, the use of such peptides and polynucleotides for the treatment and prevention of viral infection, and complexes comprising the peptides of the invention.

Abstract: A pad with a fiber reinforced silicone rubber material wherein the fiber reinforcement is of a weight of at least 100 grams per square meter, the pad having a thickness over a majority of the pad's surface area which between 0.5 and 4 millimeters thick wherein the pad is flexible and impervious to fluid and has sufficient surface tack to inhibit objects from sliding off the pad. The pad does not include metallic materials. The pad is manufactured by: providing a fiber reinforcement sheet and applying silicone to said fiber reinforcement sheet; curing the fiber reinforcement sheet with applied silicone to create a fiber reinforced silicone sheet which is impervious to fluid; cutting said fiber reinforced silicone sheet in a rectilinear pattern sized based on known cooktop dimensions; printing said fiber reinforced silicone sheet with an ink of a first color.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining if a player has reached a certain level of gameplay-performance while playing a game within a virtual reality, VR, environment. The player wears a headset having a display for viewing the VR environment and an object tracking system. The headset's object tracking system is capable of tracking movement of a portion of the player in 3-D space to establish an actual-response path by the player during gameplay. The method includes calculating, at a first time, an ideal-response path of gameplay for the tracked portion of the player in 3-D space. The ideal-response path is the path that will achieve the certain level of gameplay performance. The method then compares, at a second time, the actual-response path with the calculated ideal-response path, and finally indicates, in response to a match in the comparing step, that the play has reached a certain level of gameplay performance.
