    Abstract: Physical structures having kinematic compatibility are disclosed. One example of a physical structure includes walls that are connected together such that the physical structure is moveable between a flat-folded state and an expanded state. In the expanded state, the physical structure at least partially encloses a volume. One or more of the walls may include two or more panels. The structure may include locking mechanism(s) to stabilize the structure in the expanded state. The structure may include mechanical assistance component(s) that reduce the force that need be applied to move the structure from the flat-folded state to the expanded state. Physical structures that are moveable between a flat unfolded state and a folded state are also disclosed Such physical structures may include connected panels that are moveable between the flat unfolded state and the folded state. In the folded state, a physical structure may at least partially enclose a volume.

    Abstract: A barge-type wind turbine platform in combination with a heel tank damper includes a barge-type wind turbine platform having a keystone, two pairs of bottom beams, each including two bottom beams connected to opposite sides of the keystone, wherein the combined pairs of bottom beams define a foundation. A U-shaped ballast conduit is mounted or formed within each of the pairs of bottom beams. Each ballast conduit has ballast water therein, the ballast water extending from an outwardly extending portion of each bottom beam of each pair of bottom beams, such that a volume of air is defined between a surface of the ballast water in each outwardly extending portion and an outwardly facing wall of each outwardly extending portion, and an internal damping element is provided within each ballast conduit. A heel tank damper is defined by the ballast conduits and their respective internal damping elements.

    Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and techniques related to delivery of simulated flavor sensations to a user while consuming (e.g., eating, drinking) food items. The perception of flavor is a multisensory experience as it involves not only taste, but other sensory experiences such as sight, sound, smell, and touch. Delivery of one or more sensory experiences to a user as the user is consuming a food item is able to augment how the user experiences the food item's flavor. For example, changing a smell or color a food item has affects how users perceive it when being consumed Changing perceptions through stimulating various senses can alter expectations significantly and in unexpected ways when delivering or combining stimuli. Accordingly in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for technologies (e.g., device(s), systems and/or method(s)) for delivering simulated flavor sensations while consuming food items (e.g., solid food items, a beverage).
