Abstract: A method for gauging target population response including: presenting, with a client device, a psychothotonix questionnaire derived from an emotional behavioral plane; acquiring a psychothotonix response data based on the psychothotonix questionnaire, the psychothotonix response data comprise at least an emotional response data and a behavioral response data; aggregating the psychothotonix response data to a centralized database; processing the psychothotonix response data with a psychothotonic computer program; embedding the psychothotonic computer program to a quantum hardware; executing the psychothotonic computer program; and producing at least one or more commands that are configured to be operable for influencing at least one of, a decision making in at least one of a variety of marketing and advertising contexts, how humans perceive their environment, and viewer behavior.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a method for manufacturing turbine wheel airfoils includes: defining an initial design with an initial respective line for a straight line cut for a respective surface of each airfoil; evaluating an initial score for the initial design based on mechanical, aerodynamic, manufacturing cost, and robustness criteria; performing, in an iterative manner, a sequence of changes to the initial design, by adjusting the initial respective line for the straight line cut for the respective surface of each airfoil to generate different iterative designs; evaluating respective scores for each of the different iterative designs; selecting a design from the initial design and the different iterative designs that generates an optimized score based on the mechanical, aerodynamic, manufacturing cost, and robustness criteria; and cutting along the straight line for the surface of each airfoil, based on the selected design, to form each airfoil.

Abstract: An article of manufacture for use during the practice of yoga or meditation is provided. The apparatus is a triangular-based pyramid having at least one gemstone, chakra stone or crystal affixed to or embedded at the apex of the pyramid. Additional stones can be affixed to or embedded in the panels forming the sides of the pyramid structure. The article can have additional gemstones, chakra stones or crystals embedded in or affixed to a side panel of the article and can be suspended from an overhead structure or hung from the ceiling employing a suspending rope, cable or chain.

Abstract: A light injection system includes a radiation source, an optical waveguide, and an optical component. The radiation source emits radiation and is oriented relative to the optical waveguide such that a first portion of radiation emitted from the radiation source couples into the optical waveguide as emitted from the radiation source and a second portion of radiation emitted from the radiation source bypasses the optical waveguide as emitted from the radiation source. The optical component redirects at least some of the second portion of radiation emitted from the radiation source that would otherwise bypass the optical waveguide and enables at least some of the redirected radiation to couple into the optical waveguide instead of bypass the optical waveguide.

Abstract: A projection display system employs one or more color modifying aperture stops, such as apodizing aperture stops, to provide high contrast, balanced color and high throughput. One projection system includes a reflective liquid crystal-on-silicon light valve positioned with a polarizing beam splitter, such as a wire grid polarizing beam splitter, for each of the primary color component light paths to separately impart image information into each of the primary color components of light. A color combiner receives and combines the primary color components of light with imparted image information to provide light representing a polychromatic display image. At least one aperture stop is positioned along at least one of the primary color component light paths to balance relative intensities of the primary color components of light.
