Abstract: One apparatus embodiment includes an electronics assembly including an environmental sensor, memory that provides data storage, a logic circuit, an indicator component, and a power source for providing power to at least one of the logic circuit and the memory. The logic circuit can be designed to perform a time measurement, perform an environmental measurement with the environmental sensor, and/or initiate an alarm status when a calculated alarm event time occurs based upon the environmental measurement. The indicator component can be connected to the logic circuit for displaying the alarm status.

Abstract: The invention provides a generalized tool for information publishing and personal communication that is not limited to a dedicated purpose. The invention improves the processes associated with the creation, review, alteration, distribution and publishing of a compound derivative digital object capturing information on referred content accessible to users on an electronic information network and comprises any of the relevant characteristics of the referred content, such as its name, headline, content excerpt or sample, thumbnail-size illustration, link to network location. In particular, the invention provides an apparatus and method for easy capturing of such characteristics of referred content in a derivative digital object, altering its components and storing or transferring such derivative digital object, in the form expressed in a flyer metaphor, to other users of the electronic information network.
