  • Publication number: 20230134321
    Abstract: An illuminated frame for displaying images includes a translucent surface having at least one edge, and a light source. The edge defines an enclosed area and the image is within the enclosed area. Both the translucent surface and the image are within a line of sight of the observer that is normal to the enclosed area. The translucent surface partitions the light source from the enclosed area, whereby the enclosed area and the image are illuminated by light that passes from the light source through the translucent surface.

  • Patent number: 11574326
    Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, systems, and computer-readable media that identify a topic variance from digital survey responses and provide a variety of functionalities to a digital survey system based on the topic variance (i.e., by modifying a digital survey reporting structure based on the topic variance). In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze one or more sets of digital survey responses to generate one or more response models. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can analyze the one or more response models to identify a topic variance (e.g., an emerging topic, a change in trend for a topic, and/or a change in sentiment for a topic). Upon identifying a topic variance, the disclosed systems modify a digital survey reporting structure and/or generate notifications based on the identified topic variance.

  • Publication number: 20220395616
    Abstract: A wearable passive suction-based milk collection device comprises a compressible milk pouch with a nipple hole or opening in a rear face of the compressible milk pouch. The rear face of the compressible milk pouch is configured to seal against at least part of the user's breast when the pouch is compressed by a user in order to create a negative air pressure inside the pouch, providing suction onto the nipple thereby drawing milk from the nipple for collection in the milk pouch. The device is shaped, at least in part, to fit inside a bra.
