Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a method of controllably releasing a product to a user from a housing. The housing comprises at least one compartment, and an access opening for accessing the compartment, the access opening having a locked state and an unlocked state. The method comprises locking the access opening to the container to prevent access to the product; monitoring a measurable parameter, and comparing the measurable parameter with a threshold value; determining whether to unlock the access opening by determining whether the monitored measurable parameter meets the threshold value; and either in response to determining that the access opening should be unlocked, unlocking the access opening allowing the user to access the product located within the compartment; or in response to determining that the access opening should not be unlocked, keeping the access opening locked, preventing the user from accessing the product located within the compartment.

Abstract: A toilet frame includes a left side frame, a right side frame, and a crossbar that connects the left and ride side frames at the front of the toilet frame. Each of the left and right side frames is movable between a folded position and an unfolded position. The left and right side frames are not connected by a crossbar at the back of the toilet frame.

Abstract: A system for improved cable management is disclosed in several example embodiments. The disclosed embodiments describe example structures for supporting cables, for example telecommunications and fiber optic cables, within a cable storage cabinet. The disclosed embodiments also describe a door for a cable storage cabinet. The example door includes a hinge control and handle system which allows the door to be opened along either side to therefore allow the door to be opened either way from a single handle. The disclosed embodiments also describes an indicator system which informs a user when the door for the cable storage cabinet is in either a closed position or an open position. Each of these embodiments improves the utility and safety of cable management, particularly within cable storage cabinets.

Abstract: A capacitive coupling system includes a plurality of conductive pads situated on a dielectric layer. A plurality of switches are connected between pairs of the conductive pads via conductive linkages. The switches are operable to selectively connect selected pairs of the conductive pads to selectively adjust capacitances between conductor pairs of an electrical connector.

Abstract: Transaction data of a first party and transaction data of a population are both analyzed to determine weighting and normalizing factors, which when applied to data operate to prioritize and personalize the data. The prioritization of the data is based on the analysis and results in use of the data in accordance with user preferences as evidenced in prior activities of the first party represented by the transaction data. In a navigation system, applying data prioritizations speeds performance of the system and eliminates duplicate or follow-on searches, and allows efficient selection of potential routes and destinations.

Abstract: A cable includes an insulative main jacket, a main conductive shield and a plurality of subunits. The main conductive shield may be located on an inner side of the insulative main jacket so as to be at least partially surrounded by the insulative main jacket. Each subunit includes a twisted pair of insulated conductors, a conductive subunit shield and a subunit insulative layer. The conductive subunit shield may at least partially surround the twisted pair of insulated conductors. The subunit insulative layer may be located on an outer side of the conductive subunit shield to at least partially surround the conductive subunit shield and the twisted pair of insulated conductors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to imidazopyridazine derivatives. More particularly, it relates to 4-(biphenyl-3-yl)-7H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives of formula (I): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are as defined in the description. The imidazopyridazine derivatives of the present invention modulate the activity of the GABAA receptor. They are useful in the treatment of a number of conditions, including pain.

Abstract: There is provided a sound module for a toy, the sound module including: a controller; a speaker operatively connected to the controller; and a light operatively connected to the controller. The sound module is operable in at least a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode the controller controls the speaker to provide entertaining noises. In the second mode the controller: controls the light to provide calming illumination and/or controls the speaker to provide calming noises for a first period; and then controls the light to provide invigorating illumination and/or controls the speaker to provide invigorating noises for a second period. There is also provided a toy including the sound module.

Abstract: A method of determining one or more representative color encodings is disclosed. A set of color encoding clusters is determined for a plurality of candidate color encodings based on a clustering criterion related to one or more desired perceptual attributes of the plurality of candidate color encodings. Each candidate color encoding is assigned to one cluster within the set of color encoding clusters. A representative color encoding is determined for each cluster within the set of color encoding clusters depending on the candidate color encodings assigned to each cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating ticket redemption or check-in for an event using a self-portrait electronic ticket. One method includes presenting information related to the ticket, determining that a redemption or check-in function associated with the ticket is available, receiving an indication from the user that redemption or check-in should be initiated, capturing an image of the user, and presenting an electronic ticket derived in part from the captured image. The user may then present the electronic ticket on the mobile device to redeem the ticket for a service or product, or obtain efficient entry, and, if needed, reentry, to an event.
