Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus and methods for assisting individuals in controlling respiratory rates. For example, a respiratory regulation apparatus is provided in the form of a plush animal toy that operates components to simulate the breathing rate of anxious individuals. The apparatus may include actuators that are controlled by a slotted cam that is dynamically rotated at varying speeds in a determined rotational direction. The actuators move inward and outward in relative directions to move a torso of the plush animal toy to simulate breathing. In certain aspects, actuators may expand outward while at the same time another actuator contracts inward to cause the torso to simulate realistic breathing movements. A processor controls the speed of the cam such that the simulated breathing of the animal toy apparatus can be reduced at a controlled rate to assist an individual in reducing their breathing rate to a calmer state.

Abstract: A protective case system includes a protective case and a stand. The protective case at least partially encases an electronic device and has an outer shell that includes a first mounting feature. The stand has a second mounting feature and a third mounting feature. The first mounting feature of the protective case is complementary to and removably attachable to the second mounting feature of the stand for holding the protective case and the electronic device in a non-horizontal viewing position. The third mounting feature of the stand is configured to removably attach to a mounting feature of an accessory device. The third mounting feature of the stand having the same mechanical configuration or interface as the first mounting feature of the protective case and being complementary to the mounting feature of the accessory device.

Abstract: A method and system for advertising a property comprises a hollow elongated post, at least one rechargeable battery, at least one solar panel, a double-sided monitor, and a real estate server in communication with the double-sided monitor via a network. The real estate server resides on a central computer having a processor installed with a real estate management application and coupled with a memory unit integrated with a central database. The double-sided monitor is configured to receive a plurality of input parameters about a property and to display the details of at least one property selected by a user. The double-sided monitor includes a plurality of sensors embedded inside the monitor, a hard-wire jack, a magnetic alarm, and a webcam. The double-sided monitor provides an interactive screen and allows the user to know about the property by displaying rotating images and videos.

Abstract: A user interface system for a process plant includes a graphic display editor to configure a process graphic display having a graphic display element representative of a process plant element of the process plant. The process graphic display is specified via configuration information set forth in a declarative language. A graphics rendering engine generates a depiction of the process graphic display during runtime based on commands derived from the configuration information set forth in the declarative language. The configuration information for the process graphic display may be stored as an object, which, for instance, may include first and second portions to define a graphical parameter and identify a data source, respectively. The graphical parameter may be directed to defining a graphical depiction of the process plant element and, to this end, may be set forth in a formal in accordance with the declarative language.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing generating and managing profiles. Such systems and methods may be implemented to control access to a function of a web server or site based on a level of trust associated with a user or device profile. According to one exemplary method, session information associated with a request to access a function of a web server is identified. At least one processor determines whether the request is associated with a trusted device profile based on the at least the session information. Access to the requested function is provided when the request is associated with a trusted device profile.
