Abstract: A system for providing a solar harvesting building envelope is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of solar harvesting apparatus configured to be installed as or on a building envelope in a manner like that of traditional shingles or siding. The apparatus includes a frame having a photovoltaic end wall, and reflective base and side walls. A translucent, wedge-shaped body layer is positioned on the frame. A luminescent species film is positioned at and substantially parallel to a base of the wedge-shaped body layer, such that the luminescent species film is positioned at an angle relative to the photovoltaic end wall. Light incident on the wedge-shaped body layer is concentrated towards the photovoltaic end wall, such as through absorption and re-emission along with scattering by the luminescent species film and internal reflection by the wedge-shaped body layer and the reflective base and side walls of the frame.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, media, methods, and platforms for providing personalized mastery learning utilizing: a knowledge map; a plurality of learning activities, each learning activity comprising dynamically variable scaffolding, feedback, and content; a learning activity selection module selecting one or more learning activities for the learner; and a learning activity modification module dynamically varying one or more of the scaffolding, feedback, and content of at least one selected learning activity based on performance of the learner.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for for dynamically editing online interactive elements to facilitate logical and stepwise execution of a process with an architecture comprising a first centralized data structure comprising a process map, the process map comprising a plurality of nodes, each node representing at least one step of the process, wherein the nodes are arranged in the process map hierarchically and so as to represent relationships between the steps of the process; a library of online interactive elements, each online interactive element comprising dynamically editable content, feedback, and scaffolding; a second centralized data structure comprising a prerequisite map associating each node of the process map with one or more of the online interactive elements; a user interaction record; and an editing engine comprising a selection module, a content editing module, a feedback editing module, and a scaffold editing module.

Abstract: A reusable wrapping system for wrapping an object having a coverable surface with a top surface and at least one side surface. The wrapping system includes a sheet of wrapping material sized to substantially cover the coverable surface and to at least partially overlap the side surface when placed thereon, and an elastic securing band of a size sufficient to elastically urge the sheet around and against the side surface of the object in order to removably secure the sheet substantially on the object. The wrapping system may also include a decorative item such as a bow affixed to the sheet of wrapping material and strategically located so as to enable a user to pull the sheet of wrapping material off of the object by grasping the decorative item and pulling the decorative item away from the object. The sheet may be a fabric of substantially rectangular shape.

Abstract: A content delivery system that uses a graphical user interface to introduce users to and allow them to select from available content. A game delivery system that uses game players, such as emulators, to execute software written to run on a plurality of game platforms. The systems include a scalable, dynamic interface that launches and manages game players in a manner that is largely transparent to the user, and a combination of linear and on-demand content provides users with a managed gaming experience not unlike that of interactive television. In addition, the system includes a graphical user interface for allowing a primary user of an account to set user-specific controls for one or more users listed on the account.
