Abstract: A mobile application running on a host mobile device is used to control the display of notifications, received by the host mobile device, on a mobile device cover. The mobile device cover can run a different operating system than the host mobile device. The mobile device cover can also be assigned a different phone number than the host mobile device. Further, the mobile device cover can make or receive a phone call under the different phone number using its own cellular communication hardware.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an apparatus and method for monitoring a zone, which is a contiguous or non-contiguous, two-dimensional (2D) area or three-dimensional (3D) volume. Among its several advantages, the apparatus includes a plurality of sensors that monitor portions of the zone and report intrusion status to a control unit that provides monitoring boundary information to each of the sensors based on user input and further “maps” or otherwise associates each sensor to control unit outputs in accordance with user-defined behaviors. Still further, as a meaningful aid for configuring monitoring boundaries used by the sensors for objection intrusion detection, in one or more embodiments of the apparatus and method, at least a subset of sensors use a common coordinate frame of reference, based on a common origin located within overlapping sensor fields of view.

Abstract: A mobile device cover for use with a host mobile device includes a front frame, a middle frame, and a back frame. The back frame includes a plate or portion that can be removed and interchanged with a second plate or portion. The second plate or portion can be designed to look different and to provide different functionality. For example, the plate or portion of the back frame can be replaced with the second interchangeable plate or portion to provide a screen that can be used by one or both of the mobile device cover and the host mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile application running on a host mobile device is used to control the display of notifications, received by the host mobile device, on a mobile device cover. A single button on the mobile device cover is used to display, configure, and navigate through functionality menus of functions provided by the mobile device cover.

Abstract: A mobile device cover displays notifications based on communication received by a host mobile device. The mobile device cover has multiple screens that can be unfolded. The multiple screens can operate as separate displays or at least two of the screens can form a composite display. One of the screens can provide a touch-sensitive keyboard.

Abstract: A healthcare provider may access a healthcare provider portal to a health records management system. The health records management system may identify which vaccinations are covered by the employer's insurance. The healthcare provider may select vaccinations which the healthcare provide has in inventory. Employees may access a patient portal. The health records management system may verify for which vaccinations the patient is due. The employees select their desired vaccines. The health records management system may create appointments for the employees, and the healthcare provider may view the appointments and provide the desired vaccines to the employees.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of at least one fatty acid and/or oil from a plant cell suspension culture, the method comprising (i) maintaining a cell suspension culture of oil-producing plant cells under conditions such that the cultured cells synthesize and secrete at least one fatty acid and/or oil into the cell suspension culture medium; and (ii) extracting the thus secreted at least one fatty acid and/or oil from the cell suspension culture medium.

Abstract: A collecting apparatus comprises: a housing which is long and includes a housing space capable of housing a collecting member, the housing having formed therein an inflow port and an outflow port; a gas flow generator that generates a gas flow within the housing space; and a holding portion that holds the collecting member in a position that the gas flow flows, the inflow port being formed on a more upstream side than the collecting member held by the holding portion, and the outflow port being formed on a more downstream side than the collecting member held by the holding portion, and the outflow port opening toward the downstream side such that air that has flowed out from the outflow port flows along a housing outer surface on a more downstream side than the outflow port.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for monitoring and assessing health record data quality are disclosed. The system monitors and assesses health record data quality in an on-boarding environment and/or a production environment. The system ingests health record data transmitted by various health record data sources. The system monitors the ingestion of health record data to detect data quality errors occurring during the ingestion. Based on the data quality errors, and in response to detecting one or more data quality errors, the system generates a data quality score that can be used to determine the overall quality of data being ingested into the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a mobile device cover are described. In some embodiments, the mobile device cover may include, for example, an acoustic sensor, a processor, and lighting devices. The processor can be operatively coupled to the acoustic sensor and the lighting devices. The acoustic sensor can be configured to receive sound generated by the mobile phone and to convert the sound into an acoustic signal. The processor can be configured to receive the acoustic signal and to determine whether the acoustic signal is similar to one of a plurality of acoustic signals previously stored on the mobile phone cover. Each of the previously stored acoustic signals can be indicative of, for example, a particular caller, a particular message sender, or a particular alert. Based on the acoustic signal determination, the processor is configured to cause lighting of the one or more lighting devices corresponding to the indicated caller, indicated message sender, or indicated alert.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a mobile phone cover are described. In some embodiments, the mobile phone cover may include, for example, a processor and lighting devices. The lighting devices may be operatively coupled to the processor. The processor may be configured, for example, to receive first signals based on second signals in which the second signals are generated by the mobile phone. The second signals may be indicative of an incoming call, an incoming message, a pending message, and/or a calendar alert (e.g., an upcoming appointment), for example. The processor may be configured to cause lighting of one or more of the lighting devices based on the first signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods of audio reproduction are described. In one embodiment, one or more processors can be configured, for example, to receive an L channel signal and an R channel signal, to combine the L channel signal and the R channel signal, to average the combined signal, to detect an impulse signal in the averaged signal, to multiply the impulse signal, to scale the multiplied impulse signal, and to add the scaled impulse signal to the averaged signal to form a resultant signal. Sound can be generated, for example, by speakers based on at least the resultant signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a photosynthetic product, the method comprising maintaining a photosynthetic plant or algal cell suspension culture, in the presence of water, light and a carbonic acid-enriched growth medium. The carbonic acid may, for example be provided by feeding the photosynthetic plant cell suspension culture with a carbonic acid solution, a solid or liquid precursor thereof, or a gaseous mixture of carbon dioxide and one or more other gases. The invention also provides a method for producing a photosynthetic product, the method comprising maintaining a photosynthetic plant or algal cell suspension culture, in the presence of water, light and a carbon source selected from carbon dioxide and carbonic acid, wherein the culture is maintained at a pH of less than 7.0, preferably 4.5 to 5.5.
