Abstract: A system and method are presented for treating tinnitus which include identifying separate treatment signal settings for a patient having a heard tinnitus noise in a left ear and a right ear by separately selecting each ear in turn. Treatment signal settings for a selected ear are identified by presenting audible signal to the selected ear at a variety of frequencies, amplitudes, phases and shapes in order to provides an audible signal that is near to that of a perceived tinnitus sound. Storing the frequency, amplitude, phase and wave shape as the separate treatment signal settings for the selected ear. Using the treatment signal settings for the left ear to generate a left ear treatment signal that is presented to the left ear, and using the treatment signal settings for the right ear to generate a right ear treatment signal that is presented to the right ear.

Abstract: An automated method is provided for enabling and implementing a beacon-based service location application in a user device having a beacon monitoring application. A service location facilitation server establishes service need criteria for a user of the user device and estimates a service need state for the user. The service need state includes information indicative of a relative need for a desired service. The service location facilitation server then determines whether the service need state meets the service need criteria, and, if so, transmits an instruction to the user device to transition the beacon monitoring application from an inactive state to an active monitoring state.

Abstract: Method and systems described herein may provide multifactor mutual authentication. A first server may provide a first party and a second party with at least two authentication components in order for the first party to authenticate the identity of the second party, and vice versa. The first authentication component may include a color-based authentication component, while the second authentication component may include a code-based authentication component. Both factors need to be validated in order for the authentication to be successful. The color-based authentication component, in combination with the code-based authentication component, may improve the speed with which the mutual authentication is performed.

Abstract: In an automated product delivery method a request for delivery of a product is received from a user device. One or more product delivery options are determined and transmitted to the user device and a selected product delivery option is received from the user device. The product is provided to the selected delivery location in advance of the selected delivery time window. A delivery processing server receives user device location information and determines an estimated arrival time of the user at the delivery location. At the estimated arrival time, the product is securely staged for pickup by the user. The delivery processing server receives user validation information, and responsive to validation of the user information, transmits to the delivery location processing device, an instruction to allow access to the product by the user, and access to the product by the user is allowed.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques utilizing computers to determine one or more locations for a customer to pickup a product based on a trained models. Embodiments may also include generating a code that may be utilized to obtain the product and perform a verification operation.

Abstract: A system and method are presented that uses a computer database to define data concerning media items, media essays, users, and permissions for the users to modify the media essay data. A media essay data item identifies an ordered set of groupings, with each grouping containing media items and a textual description. The media items in one grouping are limited in number and arranged according to a selected one of a limited number of display patterns. A server uses the permissions data to allow a user to add an additional grouping to a media essay as defined by the essay data item. The additional grouping is originally presented in a distinguished manner at the end of the original groupings when the media essay is displayed. Only a user with sufficient permissions may alter the media essay to include the additional grouping.
