Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for user profile aggregation and inference generation. In an example, user profiles for a plurality of services may be stored by a unified profile service. An inferred user profile may be generated for a user, which may be used to provide inferred user information for inclusion in a new user profile. Accordingly, the user may not need to reenter information that may already be stored by the unified profile service. The inferred user profile may be generated based on one or more confidence levels in order to determine which user information is most likely to be accurate. In some examples, a user may update aspects of an inferred user profile and may indicate that the update should be incorporated into other user profiles stored by the unified profile service.

Abstract: A liquid solid separator has a main container wherein a rotating filter belt receives influent for liquid sold mixture sieve processing. Various recirculation systems are proposed including an external pump sump, internal pump recirculation and dual pumps with one disposed externally in a sump and one internally in the lower basin of the container. Recirculation points include an inflow pipe connection, an influent basin connection located above the influent basin and influent basin connection located underneath the liquid solid mixture influent level.

Abstract: A liquid solid separator has a main container wherein a rotating filter belt receives influent for liquid sold mixture sieve processing. A filtered water collections tank, a pressurized water supply are sources of wash water inputs. Cold and hot water pressurized water supplies are also potential supply sources. Load balancing of inputs and single and dual wash water pumps are also described.

Abstract: A method for generating a health indicator for at least one person of a group of people, the method comprising: receiving, at a processor, captured sound, where the captured sound is sound captured from the group of people; comparing the captured sound to a plurality of sound models to detect at least one non-speech sound event in the captured sound, each of the plurality of sound models associated with a respective health-related sound type; determining metadata associated with the at least one non-speech sound event; assigning the at least one non-speech sound event and the metadata to at least one person of the group of people; and outputting a message identifying the at least one non-speech event and the metadata to a health indicator generator module to generate a health indicator for the at least one person to whom the at least one non-speech sound event is assigned.

Abstract: A liquid solid separator tank has a motor driven recirculating belt having rollers placed therein processing a mixture of materials. The top belt brings wet materials into a collection trough having overflow weirs disposed externally. These weirs permit overflow liquids to flow down towards a main tank; then, a sump pump reintroduces water back into an influent basin to cleanse the mixture once again. Also, the action of a motor driven auger within the trough forces solids towards a dewatering box attached externally thereto. This box has a motor driven rotating cage mounted on moveable rollers and internally attached removable brushes that act to clean the outer surface of the cage as it moves in addition to a stationary high pressure wash. A shroud channels the influent liquid solid mixture towards a filtered water basin disposed directly underneath the lower belt portion permitting cleansed water to be removed therefrom.

Abstract: Aspects herein relate to a wedge shaped lateral support cushion that facilitates a side resting position for a user. The wedge shaped lateral support cushion in accordance with aspects herein is a unitary structure that is configured to support the head and the upper torso area of the user. In order to provide a proper alignment of the user's body in the side resting position, the wedge shaped lateral support cushion comprises a nook that is configured to receive the shoulder of the user so that the user has full range of motion of the arm that corresponds to the shoulder that is in accommodated in the nook. As such, the user can remain in the side resting position for prolonged periods of time, and can perform activities such as side sleeping, cuddling with a partner, lounging, and the like.

Abstract: A timepiece illusion device is formed to appear as an ordinary analog watch or timepiece with hour and minute hands. A software application (Illusion App) is provided that can be loaded onto a smartphone or other device. The Illusion App allows a user to provide inputs into the smartphone, which are transmitted (e.g., as time commands, etc.) from the smartphone to the timepiece illusion device. The timepiece illusion device then moves the hour and minute hands per the time command or otherwise performs the relevant operation per the input from the smartphone.
