The atmosphere control system includes a plurality of monitors configured to monitor atmospheric conditions within the vacuum container. The atmosphere control system further includes a vacuum pump configured to reduce total absolute pressure in the vacuum chamber to below a total gas pressure limit, an ozone generator configured to generate gaseous ozone, and an inlet valve coupled to the ozone generator and configured to admit an ozone-containing gas into the vacuum container.

Abstract: An inspection vehicle for an attraction system of an amusement park includes one or more bogies configured to engage with a path of the attraction system, a sensor configured to capture imagery of the path, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of a detected marker, determine a path section at which the inspection vehicle is located based on the detected marker, determine target imagery associated with the path section, receive captured imagery from the sensor, and output a control signal in response to determining a difference between captured imagery received from the sensor and the target imagery is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

Abstract: An attraction system includes a display that operates to present augmented reality and/or virtual reality (AR/VR) imagery to a guest in an interactive space. The system includes an audio controller that operates an array of speakers that are distributed throughout the interactive space and a controller having one or more processors. The one or more processors are operable to receive data indicative of a state of the guest (e.g., an action, movement, or gesture of the guest, an input received from an input device). The one or more processors are also operable to adjust the AR/VR imagery in response to the state of the guest, and instruct the audio controller to operate the array of the speakers to provide interactive audio based on the state of the guest and such that the interactive audio presents to the guest as though originating from a dynamic portion of the AR/VR imagery.

Abstract: The invention relates to anti-VLA-4 antibodies and binding fragments thereof. The invention further includes polynucleotides encoding said antibodies and binding fragments thereof and methods of manufacturing said antibodies and binding fragments thereof. The invention further includes methods of treating patients suffering from multiple sclerosis and/or epilepsy by administration of said antibodies and binding fragments thereof. The invention further includes methods of reducing the susceptibility to scrambling of a recombinant anti-alpha 4 antibody or a binding fragment thereof.

Abstract: A system for an attraction includes a sensor configured to capture imagery of a real world environment and a control system communicatively coupled to the sensor. The control system is configured to receive the imagery captured by the sensor, identify a real world element of the imagery, generate image data that includes a virtual element that corresponds to the real world element, and transmit the image data for presentation in the attraction.

Abstract: One embodiment is a device, which comprises a meter portion having one or more blades, the blades configured to reside within both a premises-side opening and a utility-side opening within a socket, a supply unit connected to the meter portion, a metering unit connected to the supply unit and configured to measure an amount of electricity that passes through the meter portion, and a sensor connected to the meter portion, wherein when the meter portion is placed in the socket, the sensor collects data associated with the placing of the meter portion in the socket.

Abstract: A delivery system may include one or more processors and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to identify one or more attributes of a user in one or more images and associate the one or more attributes of the user with an order placed by the user. The delivery system may also track the one or more attributes of the user in the one or more images over time to identify movement of the user within an environment and in response to the one or more attributes of the user in the one or more images remaining at a location for more than a threshold time, create an association between the one or more attributes of the user and the location. The delivery system may then provide an instruction to deliver items in the order to the location.

Abstract: A method for managing software on a device is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a third party associated with the device, by a software administrator of an organization different from the third party, release information regarding software versions for the device; creating, by the software administrator, a profile that specifies whether or not at least one of the software versions is allowed on the device; and transmitting the profile, by the software administrator to a server computer associated with the third or other parties, to promote enforcement of the profile for the device.

Abstract: A device (100) for monitoring the status of breakers (20) within a consumer unit (10). The device (100) uses a non-contact, optical sensor (104), such as an IR break-beam sensor (106, 108), or an optical time-of-flight sensor (106, 108) to monitor the positions of the toggle switches (22) on the breakers (20). In the event that one or more of the switches moves to an “off” position (22), an alarm is triggered, such as by sending an SMS message to a user, to alert them of the fact. The device (100) also monitors the consumer unit's power status (1020) and can warn in the event of a power outage of a master isolator or RCD trip. A UPS (1030, 1032, 1034) is suitably provided to enable the device to continue working during a mains power failure.

Abstract: Efficient two-way communications using broadband cellular technology is provided by adapting cellular components for end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) addressable traffic. In this manner, the broadband cellular system may be efficiently transfer data over a flat network architecture using end-to-end IP traffic, bypassing features such as network address translation (NAT), tunnelling, and other LTE cellular carrier features.
