Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a communication to be sent from a sender to a recipient who are related to one another by blood or employment; and scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient based on a future location of the recipient. The content of the communication and the future location of the recipient are determined from an analysis of electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes notifying a first person that a significant event is going to occur with respect to a second person; receiving from the first person, the second person, or another person a communication that relates to the significant event and to the first person and that has been curated at least in part from information that has been accumulated automatically from online resources; and sending the curated communication to the communication target.

Abstract: Among other things, an intelligent automated proxy for an party who wants to communicate a multimedia message about a life event an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog to a second party and provides information from which the life event, the communication, the manner of delivery, the future time, and the recipient can be determined.

Abstract: Among other things, a person who wants to give a tangible, physical, virtual, or digital item to another family member of a different generation (e.g., at a future time) can provide information from which the item, the future time, and the recipient can be determined. The giver and the recipient are individuals (a) who are not both living or not both competent at the time when the information is provided by the giver, (b) or may not both be living or may not both be competent at the future time, or (c) both (a) and (b), storing the information. The item is transferred to the other family member at the future time based on the provided information.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include control systems and methods for monitoring environmental variables, performance variables and conditioning electrical power in energy-recapture sources of mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, as exemplified by farms for energy-harvesting to provide available electrical energy. Said farms may include one or more energy-recapture sources. One method for controlling may include measuring individual source energy output of one or more energy-recapture sources and measuring conditions of one or more energy-recapture sources via a controller that facilitates communication with one or more energy-recapture sources.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include apparatus, systems and methods for efficient implementation of energy-recapture farms for conditioning electrical power from energy-recapture sources of vehicular mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, as exemplified by farms for energy-recapture that provide available electrical energy-for commercial distribution. Said farms may include one or more energy-recapture sources. One method for aggregation may include a plurality of mechanical energy-recapture devices comprising individual source energy output of one or more energy-recapture sources, measuring conditions of one or more energy-recapture sources via a controller that facilitates communication with one or more energy-recapture sources, and managing the distribution of the conditioned electrical energy to the national electrical grid.

Abstract: A power-recapture method and system converts mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, into available electrical energy. A plurality of computer-coordinated Electric Generators are arranged with salient sensors that detect appropriate motion then adjust the phasing and intensity of electromagnets of the Electric Generator to optimally convert variable mechanical motion into electric current.

Abstract: Marketing communications are delivered by advertising displays affixed to or surrounding gratings. Lease arrangements are determined by a machine-based method providing equitable revenue sharing to municipality or other entity owning the grating spaces and the marketing communication entity while providing rapid, reliable deployment to advertisers via a machine-based method of RFID tracking and deployment.

Abstract: Marketing communications are delivered by advertising displays affixed to or surrounding vehicular parking meters. Lease arrangements are determined by a machine-based method providing equitable revenue sharing to municipality or other entity owning the parking meter spaces and the marketing communication entity while providing rapid, reliable deployment to advertisers via a machine-based method of RFID tracking and deployment.

Abstract: Marketing communications are delivered by advertising displays affixed to or surrounding highway signage, e.g., bridges, tunnels, and road signs. Lease arrangements are determined by a machine-based method providing equitable revenue sharing among governmental entities owning the highway signage and advertising bidders and the marketing communication entity while providing rapid, reliable deployment to advertisers via a machine-based method of RFID tracking and deployment.
