  • Patent number: 11562626
    Abstract: A system and method provide automated guild-dependent variation of in-game capabilities available to player in an computer-implemented game. An in-game capability is made available to the player in inter-guild competitive gameplay, for example comprising an object-specific ability associated with the game object, such as a collectible card. A value for a variable attribute of the in-game capability is dynamically adjusted based at least in part on one or more guild metrics for an associated guild of which the player is a member. The one or more guild metrics may include guild size and activity levels of guild members.

  • Publication number: 20220304943
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a high-effective-concentration cannabinoid-based vape oil that is flowable within a vape device. The high-effective-concentration cannabinoid-based vape oil comprises a cannabinoid-based incipient and a cannabinoid-based target component. The cannabinoid-based incipient has an in-situ concentration that is less than the saturation concentration of the cannabinoid-based incipient. The cannabinoid-based target component has an in-situ concentration that is less than the saturation concentration of the cannabinoid-based target component. The in-situ concentration of the cannabinoid-based incipient and the in-situ concentration of the cannabinoid-based target component, taken together, is greater than the saturation concentration of the cannabinoid-based target component. The cannabinoid-based target component has an in-actio concentration that is greater than the saturation concentration of the cannabinoid-based target component.

  • Publication number: 20210378639
    Abstract: An exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection device comprising two adjacent parts foldable together and apart from each other, a condensation zone to condense exhaled breath from a subject, the condensation zone being a third part provided between the two adjacent parts and connectable to cooling means arranged in each of the two parts being in cooling relationship with the condensation zone. There is also provided a method for detecting antigens or antibodies to the antigens, the method comprising collecting EBC from a subject using the EBC collection device, performing immunochromatographic testing (ICT) of the collected exhaled breath condensate, and interpreting the immunochromatographic testing results as follows: if the immunochromatographic testing results are positive, the antigens or antibodies to the antigens are detected, or if the immunochromatographic testing results are negative, the antigens or antibodies to the antigens are not detected.

  • Publication number: 20200357190
    Abstract: A system(s) and method(s) for improved visualization includes a processor for receiving a signal from a LIDAR system measuring a target site. The received signal includes a collection of points representing a 3D space and a signal strength for each point. The processor may execute at least one of an intensity, color, size and opacity modules stored in a memory to adjust at least one attribute of a point of the point cloud based on the signal strength of that point to generate an improved 3D image of the point cloud for display on a display. By correlating the received signal strength with at least one of an intensity, color, size and opacity, an improved and more visually pleasing 3D image of the point cloud may be obtained and displayed.

  • Publication number: 20160354370
    Abstract: Patients inflicted with various clustering chronic diseases require treatment with multiple drugs having distinct mechanisms of action. Accordingly, patients with multiple conditions suffer from cumulative side effects of multiple drugs as well as drug-drug interactions. Embodiments, agents, compounds or drugs of the present invention, such as sesquiterpenes, e.g., Zerumbone, replace an equal or larger number of approved drugs during patient treatment. Examples of disorders prevented or ameliorated by administration of the formulations of this invention include but are not limited to inflammatory diseases that may be, oncological, genetic, ischemic, infectious, neurological, hematological, ophthalmological, rheumatoid, orthopedic, neurological, hematological, kidney, vascular, dermatological, gynecological, or obstetric.

  • Patent number: 9485620
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for delivering emergent event notifications to a user's Mobile Device. Map and Calendar applications are polled with correlations made between map locations and event information. Geo-Fence Boundaries are established for map locations which are inherited by their associated events. Penetration of a Geo-Fence Boundary by a Mobile Device running the Mobile Application triggers a search for events that are associated with the established Geo-Fence Boundary. Filtered Notifications of event options of interest to the user are transmitted to the Mobile Device based on pre-established and dynamic variables and whether the user can arrive at the event while it is underway. Upon selection of an event by the user, the Mobile Device provides route and navigation guidance to the selected location.
