Abstract: A method of obtaining psychometric information about a user is disclosed. A psychometric graphical object is provided to the user by a personalized user management module. User interaction with the psychometric graphical object is measured by a psychological traits evaluation module. At least a first wider portion of the psychometric graphical object is labeled with a first keyword related to a psychological trait. At least a second wider portion of the psychometric graphical object is labeled with a second keyword related to the psychological trait.

Abstract: A merchandiser system and method for providing a product for display and/or sale. The merchandiser system includes a selectable temperature mode that provides controlled heating or cooling to the same product space. The product space is selectively heated or cooled by a heating subsystem and a cooling subsystem. The method includes providing a product in a temperature configurable product space and selectively heating or cooling the product in the product space in response to a control input.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for defining, at a computing device, psychometric data for a user. An interactive virtual assistant, selected from a plurality of interactive virtual assistants, may be provided on the computing device based upon, at least in part, the psychometric data defined for the user. The user may be prompted, via the interactive virtual assistant, with one or more options.

Abstract: A yoga block that consists of a body having a plurality of surfaces. At least one surface includes a recess sized and shaped to removably, securely receive a handheld mobile device. The recess includes retention means for engaging the mobile device with the body, the engagement being such that a display of the mobile device can remain accessible for viewing or control. The recess may be configured such that the device does not obtrusively protrude above the general surface in which the recess is formed.

Abstract: A wrinkle control process for manufacturing a closed cross-sectional, composite laminate structure on a male tool cured under temperature and pressure. The process includes the step of creating a plurality of filled or unfilled depressions at strategic locations in the laminate prior to curing. The depressions are created by depression forming elements that have a predetermined size designed to create a depression in under plies, alone or combined with intensification techniques. The depressions may be left unfilled or be partially or completely filled. Depression forming elements are removed after cure or remain part of the structure.

Abstract: A purified mammalian proteoglycan, and genetic information encoding such proteoglycans, having a core polypetide molecular weight of about 30 kD to about 35 kD, and comprising a hydrophilic amino terminal extracellular region, a hydrophilic carboxy terminal cytoplasmic region, a transmembrane hydrophobic region between said cytoplasmic and extracellular regions, a protease susceptible cleavage sequence extracellularly adjacent the transmembrane region of the peptide, and at least one glycosylation site for attachment of a heparan sulfate chain to said extracellular region, said glycosylation site comprising a heparan sulfate attachment sequence represented by a formula Xac-Z-Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 44), where Xac represents an amino acid residue having an acidic sidechain, and Z represents from 1 to 10 amino acid residues. Additional peptides having this glycosylation site and genetic information useful for preparing a number of variations based on this glycosylation site are also provided.
