Abstract: A perpetual bioinformatics and virtual colorimeter expert system platform is disclosed to remotely measure dermal and epidermal properties with precision and to enhance decision-making. Some embodiments of the system provide for virtual tristimulus colorimetry, wherein a capture device captures one or more dermal images of one or more skin area of a user. A color grid includes one or more permutations of a plurality of recorded predetermined colors. A scale of the color grid is recorded as being printed or projected at a predetermined size. Application of the virtual tristimulus colorimeter to one of the images is performed. As a result of this application the image is calibrated according to the virtual tristimulus colorimeter. In some embodiments the capture device may include a smartphone camera, interactive with the virtual tristimulus colorimeter smartphone application.

Abstract: A perpetual bioinformatics and virtual colorimeter expert system platform is disclosed to remotely measure dermal and epidermal properties with precision and to enhance decision-making by offering expert diagnostic and predictive services. Some embodiments of the system, which map atypical skin discoloration may include capture means for capturing dermal images of the skin area of a user to be evaluated; control means for identifying a control tone of a user based on conditional parameters; classification means for classifying the discoloration tones from captured dermal images; measurement means for measuring discoloration tones outside the spectrum of standardized normal tones; and quantification means for calculating the severity of tone discoloration when compared to a control tone. In some embodiments the capture means may include a smartphone camera, and a virtual tristimulus colorimeter application.

Abstract: A digital publishing platform enables users to create and organize notes associated with electronic, published documents. Sets of notes, each associated with a document, are uploaded to the publishing platform by notepad applications executing on user devices. Each set of notes has one or more notes, and each note includes a link to a location in the associated document. The publishing platform is configured to aggregate a plurality of sets of notes, combining the notes of the sets into a single set while maintaining their link to an associated document.

Abstract: A method for sharing notes created in a multilayered document among users of a social network within a digital education platform is provided. In one embodiment, the digital education platform allows a user to create notes linked to a particular location in the document using a notepad application. Notes are aggregated and stored in the user's personal library on the digital education platform. When a user requests to share another user's notes and is granted access, the digital education platform retrieves the other user's notes and inserts the shared notes into the requesting user's existing notes associated with the document, based on their individual sharing attributes and metadata.

Abstract: A notepad application enables users to create notes associated with electronic documents. The document, configured for rendering by an eReader browser application, is associated with a table of contents defining a plurality of sections of the document. The notepad application displays a note window associated with a section of the document within a user interface of the browser application. When a user generates a note in connection with the note window by indicating a location within the document, the notepad application adds the note to a note region in a note object that is associated with a section of the document defined by the table of contents. The notepad application then can access the note using the table of contents of the document.
