A new method creates useful products from mycelium, which is the root structure of fungi, using waste materials. First, fungi are grown on a carbon-rich substance to develop mature mycelium, which is then separated and dried. The dried mycelium can be shaped into foams, liquids, or gels for various applications. These products can fight bacteria, including resistant strains like MRSA, making them valuable for healthcare and other fields. Additionally, they can hold and release medicines, making them suitable for uses in textiles, skincare, and even aerospace.

Eyewear with integrated peripheral display allows users to see a series of images in a way that feels real, using advanced technology. It takes images and breaks them down into smaller parts, then quickly shows these parts in a sequence to create the full image. This happens so fast that it looks like the images are appearing all at once to the person wearing the eyewear. A special rotating mirror helps to project these images clearly to the user. Additionally, the system can adjust for any distortions caused by the environment or the images themselves, ensuring a better viewing experience.

A wearable device is designed to be placed directly on the skin and includes sensors, actuators, and a microcontroller. It can monitor different signals from the body to gather important health information. If it detects any unusual conditions, the device can release medicine tailored to the person's needs. The dosage and type of medication can be adjusted based on the individual's metabolism, which is tracked by the built-in sensors. This system creates a closed-loop where sensing and treatment work together for better health management.

A device has been created to identify vehicles that are going the wrong way. It collects information about how different vehicles are behaving and where they are located. When a vehicle suddenly changes its behavior, the device checks its position to see if it is going the wrong way. If it finds a vehicle moving against traffic, it can alert others. This helps improve safety on the roads by quickly spotting dangerous situations.
Published: 2024-07-25 Assignee: Quantum Toys LLC.Programmable Toy
A programmable toy has a head and a body that can move on their own. It uses three motors: two in the body and one in the head, which control how the toy moves. Strings connect these motors to the head, allowing it to tilt forward, backward, and side to side. A special joint between the head and body lets them move together smoothly. Users can control the toy's movements through a mobile app with programmable instructions.

A new kit has been created to help destroy cancer cells that have stem cell-like properties. It uses the Zika virus, which can target and kill these aggressive cancer cells, particularly in brain tumors. The kit includes a special medicine, glass vials that are sealed for safety, and syringes with clean needles for easy injection. This approach aims to improve treatment options for patients with serious cancers. Overall, it offers a potential new way to fight difficult-to-treat tumors.
Published: 2024-07-25METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PREDICTING THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT PRODUCTED BY A VIDEO GAME SEQUENCE
A new method predicts how a video game sequence affects players' emotions. It works by analyzing both the audio and video of the game to create time-stamped descriptions of what happens during gameplay. These descriptions are processed using advanced computer techniques, including neural networks. Additionally, the method looks at players' biological signals to gather more information about their emotional responses. Finally, it combines all this data to predict the emotional impact of different game sequences.
