Abstract: Emulsion-based and micromolded (“MM”) or three dimensional printed (“3DP”) polymeric formulations for single injection of antigen, preferably releasing at two or more time periods, have been developed. Formulations are preferably formed of biocompatible, biodegradable polymers. Discrete regions encapsulating antigen, alone or in combination with other antigens, adjuvants, stabilizers, and release modifiers, are present in the formulations. Antigen is preferably present in excipient at the time of administration, or on the surface of the formulation, for immediate release, and incorporated within the formulation for release at ten to 45 days after initial release of antigen, optionally at ten to 90 day intervals for release of antigen in one or more additional time periods. Antigen may be stabilized through the use of stabilizing agents such as trehalose glass. In a preferred embodiment for immunization against polio, antigen is released at the time of administration, and two, four and six months thereafter.

Abstract: A cognitive assistant that allows a maintainer to speak to an application using natural language is disclosed. The maintainer can quickly interact with an application hands-free without the need to use complex user interfaces or memorized voice commands. The assistant provides instructions to the maintainer using augmented reality audio and visual cues. The assistant will walk the maintainer through maintenance tasks and verify proper execution using IoT sensors. If after completing a step, the IoT sensors are not as expected, the maintainer is notified on how to resolve the situation.

Abstract: A device is configured to estimate a gaze target of a user of an augmented reality headset based on vehicle sensor data and headset sensor data. The device is configured to generate visualization data based on the gaze target. Responsive to determining that the gaze target is inside a first vehicle, the visualization data includes a first visual depiction of a first point of interest that is outside the first vehicle. The first point of interest includes at least a portion of a particular route of a particular vehicle. The particular vehicle includes the first vehicle or a second vehicle. Responsive to determining that the gaze target is outside the first vehicle, the visualization data includes a second visual depiction of a second point of interest that is inside the first vehicle.

Abstract: A device is configured to determine a movement of a vehicle based on vehicle sensor data, and a movement of an augmented reality (AR) headset based on headset sensor data. The device is configured to estimate a user portion of the movement of the AR headset caused by a movement of a user and not caused by the movement of the vehicle. The device is configured to determine a gaze target of the user based on the user portion and to generate visualization data based on the gaze target. Responsive to determining that the gaze target is inside the vehicle, the visualization data includes a first visual depiction of a first point of interest that is outside the vehicle. Responsive to determining that the gaze target is outside the vehicle, the visualization data includes a second visual depiction of a second point of interest that is inside the vehicle.

Abstract: A one-piece drop-in device and a method of using the device to convert a bucket or other containers into a self-watering system for growing plants. The device produces a lower water reservoir and an upper area for soil, including a wicking zone wherein water from the reservoir can reach the roots of a plant via wicking or capillary action. The bucket or other container provides the bottom and side support walls to stabilize and strengthen the self-watering system.

Abstract: A rejection rate of a selective sequential processing apparatus such as a mail sortation apparatus is reduced by combining results of at least two feature discrimination arrangements such as optical character recognition and a bar code reader based on comparisons of results of the feature discrimination results against each other and against expected values to validate at least one result and rejecting articles for manual processing only when no feature discrimination result can be validated. The results of one feature discrimination technique can be used to augment results of another feature discrimination technique to improve selective processing accuracy and processing speed and throughput are increased by allowing use of faster or accelerated feature discrimination processes while maintaining a greater number of articles within the automated process.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method of manufacturing badges and insignia, for example of the type worn by policemen and army personnel. The method comprises extruding metal, preferably aluminum, to form a channel-shaped section. The section has a flat planar surface portion and a pair of spaced parallel flanges projecting rearwardly from the rear face of the surface portion and at right angles to the face. The extruded section is passed through a punching machining machine, and side-acting punches remove portions of the metal forming the flanges to form lugs. A badge is formed in the planar surface portion of the section, and the completed badge is severed from the remainder of the extrusion. The invention also includes a badge made by the method which includes fastening lugs projecting from the reverse of the badge and formed integrally with the badge by extrusion.
