Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for detecting users within a range of a media device. A detection region may be defined that is within the range of the media device and smaller than the range. The detection region may be stored. It may be determined whether a user is within the detection region. The media device may be activated and settings associated with the user may be applied when a user is within the detection region. In some embodiments, settings associated with a user may be compared to provided media content when the user is within the detection region. The content may change when the settings conflict with the media content. Reminders may be provided to or directed to a plurality of users within the range of the media device.

Abstract: Systems and related methods of providing seamless transactions, including payments and promotion redemptions, are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a communication beacon and one or more servers. The communication beacon may be configured to communicate with consumer devices via a direct wireless connection when the consumer devices are within a wireless direct communicable range of the communication beacon. The one or more servers may be configured to associate the communication with a merchant and receive consumer presence data from the communication beacon such that consumer presence at the merchant may be determined. In response, the one or more servers may be configured to perform a seamless transaction on behalf the consumer that allows the consumer to provide payments or redeem promotions, among other things, simply by self-identifying with the merchant while carrying the consumer device.

Abstract: Systems and related methods of providing promotions to consumers based on proximity to communication beacons are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a communication beacon and a central system. The communication beacon may be associated with a merchant and located at a merchant shop. Based on receiving consumer presence data from the communication beacon indicating that a consumer device and the communication beacon has formed a direct wireless connection, the server may be configured to provide merchant information, promotions, or other messages to the consumer device. In some embodiments, messages may be generated by the merchant and targeted to consumers based on consumer device location, consumer demographics, among other things. Furthermore, the server may provide consumer information to a merchant device to facilitate consumer service, point-of-sale, and seamless transactions and promotion redemptions.

Abstract: This spectrum protection system enables spectrum sharing that protects Earth Exploration-Satellite Services (EESS) observations, which allows for uninterrupted weather forecasting, from terrestrial operations that operate near or within EESS frequency bands without cumbersome restrictions on telecommunications (telecom) providers. The system calculates the satellite observation times using a device's location recognizing that these satellites are only observing a particular location on Earth for a very small amount of time because of their orbital dynamics and scanning characteristics. Using this calculated list of observation times and comparing it to the current time input, the system then enacts a mechanism for action when EESS observations are occurring. Two simple embodiments for the mechanism for action include momentarily changing frequencies or reducing transmission power levels to prevent erroneous EESS measurements.

Abstract: The Situational Atmospheric Vectoring Equipment (abbreviated in this document as equipment) provides a system to disperse an aqueous liquid in a solid or gaseous form. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the equipment comprises: a pressure vessel or external source for the aqueous liquid, a mechanical pump if required, a pressure vessel for the cryogen, mechanical lines connecting the aqueous liquid and cryogen allowing for flow control, a nozzle for fluid acceleration and, optionally, a mechanical fan for dispersal. Previous inventions of this category require the proper environmental conditions are present whereas the equipment, as described in this text, does not have this limitation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a medical implant, methods of use and making of such implants. A method of making an implantable device may include obtaining an anatomical model in a computer aided design (CAD) system, customizing the anatomical model per patient specific parameters and creating a virtual image of the anatomical model, incorporating at least one microchannel geometry within said anatomical model, adjusting the density infill to a measurement ranging per patient specific parameters, and using three-dimensional printing to form the implantable device based on the anatomical model. The implant can be made of suitable metallic or polymeric material, such as PLA.
