    Abstract: Examples of techniques for predictive media content delivery are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method for predictive media content delivery includes identifying, by the processing device, a customer approaching a kiosk. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, an estimated duration that the customer is expected to be in proximity to the kiosk. The method further includes presenting, by the processing device, media content to the customer that has a playback duration commensurate with the estimated duration that the customer is expected to be in proximity to the kiosk.

    Abstract: A method for improving traffic flow at an intersection includes determining spacing data for a plurality of vehicles within traffic lanes that enable the plurality of vehicles to proceed to an intersection from a common direction, determining whether traffic flow proximate to the intersection is hindered due to spacings between the plurality of vehicles, and sending a request to at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles to move forward to improve the traffic flow proximate to the intersection. The spacing data may be derived from spacing-related sensor data captured by one or more vehicles of the plurality of vehicles. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product for executing the above method are also disclosed herein.

    Abstract: Acoustic attenuating ear muffs include a first ear pod having a first ear cup provide with a first acoustic attenuating member including an outer surface, and a first opening. A second ear pod includes a second ear cup having a second acoustic attenuating member including an outer surface portion, and a second opening. A first selectively deployable plug member is mounted to the outer surface of the first acoustic attenuating member. A second selectively deployable plug member mounted to the outer surface of the second acoustic attenuating member. An acoustic sensor is operable to detect ambient noise. An actuator system is operable to shift the first and second selectively deployable plug members into corresponding ones of the first and second openings based on ambient noise detected by the acoustic sensor.

    Abstract: An apparatus for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes one or more steerable wheels, a stabilizer member, and an A-Frame, where the A-Frame encloses a plurality of components for mechanically coupling the one or more steerable wheels to the stabilizer member. The stabilizer member is extendable out of at least one side of the pallet jack based at least on an angle of rotation of the one or more steerable wheels. A method for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes receiving a steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of a pallet jack from an angular position sensor. The method includes activating an electric motor for extending a stabilizer member of the pallet jack, where a distance of extension of the stabilizer member is based on the steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of the pallet jack.

    Abstract: An apparatus according to one embodiment includes a container having an interior, and a divider in the interior of the container. The divider selectively separates the interior into first and second compartments. The divider is configured to keep bees located in the first compartment separated from bees in the second compartment when in a closed configuration, and to allow the bees positioned in the first compartment to enter the second compartment when in an open configuration. The apparatus also includes an image capture device for capturing images of the bees in the interior of the container, and an outlet for permitting ingress and egress of the bees from the second compartment. The container is configured to prevent the bees from escaping from the first compartment.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for supplementing sub-optimal environmental conditions for plant growth, the embodiments include receiving plant data for a plant, and extracting optimal growth condition data from a database based at least in part on the plant. Embodiments also include obtaining sensor data from sensors monitoring current growth conditions of the plant and comparing the current growth conditions of the plant to the optimal growth condition data from the database to estimate a current cytoplasmic streaming rate. Embodiments include responsive to the comparison, calculating, by the calculation engine, a sound wave frequency to stimulate cytoplasmic streaming in the plant, transmitting the sound wave frequency to a speaker, and providing the sound wave frequency to the plant.
