Abstract: The present invention provides an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) configured on a railway system. The AV can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of attaching accessories to LED lamps and for providing active accessories in LED lamps are disclosed. The active accessories include single-function active accessories as well as multi-function active accessories.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for mitigating pinhole defects in optical devices such as electrochromic windows. One method mitigates a pinhole defect in an electrochromic device by identifying the site of the pinhole defect and obscuring the pinhole to make it less visually discernible. In some cases, the pinhole defect may be the result of mitigating a short-related defect.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for simulating gameplay of a live event through a mobile environment. Further described are systems and methods for placing wagers or non-wager submissions concerning an outcome of a simulation. The systems and methods incorporate statistical data, event information, and user modifications to create the simulation.

Abstract: A method includes monitoring a geospatial location of a user of a mobile device having a processor communicatively coupled to a memory through the mobile device, date stamping and time stamping the geospatial location of the user through the mobile device, and monitoring, through a server having another processor communicatively coupled to another memory and/or the mobile device, an interaction of the user with the mobile device and/or a device communicatively coupled to the server based on the geospatial location of the user. The method also includes predicting, through the server and/or the mobile device, an event related to the mobile device and/or the device based on the monitoring of the interaction of the user therewith, and enabling, through the server and/or the mobile device, automatic performance of an action on the mobile device and/or the device on behalf of the user in accordance with the prediction of the event.

Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone.

Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a railway track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track.

Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.

Abstract: Thin-film devices, for example, multi-zone electrochromic windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. In certain cases, a multi-zone electrochromic window comprises a monolithic EC device on a transparent substrate and two or more tinting zones, wherein the tinting zones are configured for independent operation.
