Abstract: A sump pump system detects backflow from an outlet pipe in a sump pump system and implements control of the sump pump in light of the detected backflow (or lack thereof). The sump pump system may detect the backflow (or lack thereof) by detecting and comparing water rise rates in a sump basin before activation or engagement of the sump pump (e.g., immediately before the pump starts pumping) and after the pump has disengaged or deactivated (e.g., immediately after the pump stops pumping). The rises rates may be detected via sensors configured to detect motion or acceleration (e.g., accelerometers, inertial measurement units, or force acceleration sensors) placed in the sump basin such that detect motion of water in the basin corresponding to changing water levels.

Abstract: Users invite friends and family to participate in an automated memory reminder and personal social network system. The personal social network comprises a smart mobile communications client device and administration panel trending algorithms called Not So Forgetful (NSF). NSF distinguishes by assisting in light and heavy reminders. NSF helps users to remember important dates and get recommendations such as events, gifts and/or social engagements with a reminder system personal to the users and runs on a processor of the smart client device. A cloud-based administration panel server, databases and search engines assist in heavy reminders with an individual diagnosed with a memory deficiency with recorded memories. For light reminders, there is a list for things to do varying from week to week. Algorithms utilize NSF network internal and external data to develop top trending gift, social engagement lists and a depository supporting trending/memory assistance algorithms.
