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 computer implemented method is provided for recommending at least one author of a plurality of authors to a user based on a learned lexicon of the user. First communication content pertaining to a user is obtained. Second communication content pertaining to an author is obtained. A lexicon of the user is learned from the first communication content to identify a set of words known to the user. High frequency words are identified from the second communication content of the author, the high frequency words being one or more words having an occurrence frequency in the second communication content that is higher than a first predetermined threshold occurrence frequency level. The author is suggested to the user upon detecting that the high frequency words are not in the lexicon of the user.

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: Self-acting devices and methods are provided for facilitating preventing product tip over. The self-acting device includes an anti-tip mechanism associated with a product to facilitate preventing tip over of the product when in an extended state. Further, the device includes an actuator associated with the product. The actuator is operatively coupled to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from a retracted state to the extended state. Further, an actuator control is provided to signal the actuator to facilitate transitioning the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across a floor.

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: Methods, systems and computer program products for identifying non-standard driving behavior are provided. Aspects include receiving, from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, vehicle operation data for a vehicle driving environment associated with the vehicle, analyzing the vehicle operation data to identify one or more other vehicles engaged in non-standard operation, and overlaying, on a display, an alert indicia highlighting the one or more other vehicles.

Abstract: A device is used to monitor, in real-time, one or more environment conditions of an environment in which a user is located. Based on the monitoring, an alert condition relating to the environment is detected. Based on detecting the alert condition, on-demand testing of a sensory component of the user is initiated. The on-demand testing tests for a selected condition relating to the health of the user.

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.
