Abstract: Computationally implemented methods and systems include registering one or more first augmentations that were shown to a user through a first augmented view of a first actual scene, the one or more first augmentations having been shown at least at end of a segment of time, detecting, following the showing of the one or more first augmentations up to the end of the segment of time, one or more user behaviors of the user that when detected as occurring infers user's interest in seeing the one or more first augmentations; and displaying, in response at least in part to said detecting, one or more second augmentations through a second augmented view of the first actual scene or of a second actual scene, the one or more second augmentations to be displayed being based, at least in part, on the registering of the one or more first augmentations. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

Abstract: Computationally implemented methods and systems include obtaining visual data of an actual view of a scene from a real environment, determining whether activity-inferring data that infers at least initial occurrence of one or more user activities associated with the scene from the real environment have at least been acquired, and presenting, in response at least in part to determining that the activity-inferring data have at least been acquired, an augmented view of the scene from the real environment, the augmented view including one or more augmentations that have been included into the augmented view based, at least in part, on the activity-inferring data. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

Abstract: An energy storage apparatus for storing energy transmitted by a power transmission line includes an elastically deformable component and an actuator-generator. The actuator-generator is coupled to the elastically deformable component such that electrical actuation of the actuator-generator generates tension in the elastically deformable component. The actuator-generator is further coupled to the elastically deformable component such that mechanical actuation of the actuator-generator via a release of tension in the elastically deformable component causes a generation of electrical energy by the actuator-generator.
