  • Patent number: 10970745
    Abstract: A method and system for providing advertising to a moving target vehicle. Vehicle data is determined by one or more devices namely at least one sensor device and/or a global positioning system (GPS) device. At least one processor in communication with the one or more devices receives the vehicle data. The at least one processor initiates display of video data of advertising content data on a display device on a moving advertising vehicle to display the video data to the moving target vehicle in accordance with at least one display parameter that is based on the received vehicle data and initiates play of the audio data of the advertising content data by an audio device disposed within the display device in the moving advertising vehicle. The audio data played is configured to be heard as sound by the moving target vehicle, and the audio data relates to the video data.

  • Patent number: 10751945
    Abstract: A selection of a three-dimensional model by a user is received, and an interlocking block framework corresponding to the selected three-dimensional model is determined. The interlocking block framework includes one or more physical construction blocks configured to interlock with one another. A three-dimensional gap model is generated based upon the selected three-dimensional model and the interlocking block framework. The three-dimensional gap model is generated by removing a representation of the determined interlocking block framework from the selected three-dimensional model.

  • Publication number: 20200243182
    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable program storage device for managing personalized nutrition. In an embodiment, the method comprises acquiring with a portable device a collection of physical metrics of a user; storing the collection of physical metrics on the portable device; and linking the stored physical metrics with information about the user, pre-stored on a separate storage device, to determine nutrition for the user. The linking is augmented with information obtained over the Internet to identify a place to obtain said nutrition for the user. In an embodiment, the portable device is used to measure a glucose level of the user; the glucose level of the user is compared with thresholds stored in the separate storage device; and based on these thresholds, the portable device issues a warning to the user to additional parties.

  • Patent number: 10257270
    Abstract: An approach for enabling autonomous decentralized peer-to-peer telemetry (ADEPT). A first ADEPT peer senses ADEPT peers to interconnect where the ADEPT peers are identified as ADEPT light peer, ADEPT standard peer and ADEPT peer exchange based on respectively increasing IoT device capability. The first ADEPT peer sends and receives requests to interconnect to the ADEPT peers based on messaging. The first ADEPT peer transfers files where the files are distributed toward peer-to-peer networks, creating peer consensus and interconnecting the first ADEPT peer to the ADEPT peers based on the peer consensus. ADEPT peers execute transactions and contracts by decentralized peer to peer consensus network and consensus ledger to enable autonomous device coordination.
