  • Publication number: 20090202971
    Abstract: An interactive learning and behavioral modification system that utilizes computer hardware and software to create a learning scheme that is portable, individualized, and adjusts to each student. The system analyzes and manipulates the answers or data supplied by the students by a variety of means and then generates a new set of questions or tasks based on the individual student's performance. Problem difficulty is based on the student's performance and is increased or new material is introduced when a predetermined proficiency level has been attained. Furthermore, the data that is gathered from the students' replies is compiled and utilized as a tool to determine the effectiveness of the teacher allowing him or her to modify their teaching methods and improve on deficiencies. This allows the teacher to not only monitor the students' progress, but also their own.

  • Publication number: 20090192500
    Abstract: A surface wearable or implanted medical device suitable for delivering therapeutic agents to the body as well as monitoring and analyzing analytes in bodily fluids. The device utilizes a photovoltaic cell or miniature solar panel as an energy source in conjunction with microtubules or membranes, a therapeutic agent or analyte reservoir, an adhering structure, and a means of regulating and monitoring the agents and analytes. The device is adhered to the tissue of the recipient and by controlling the polarity of the current between the tissue and reservoir the flow of agents into the body can be controlled and regulated, just as the rate of removal of analytes from the body can also be regulated. This regulating, analyzing, and monitoring can be controlled by the absence or presence of light or may involve a computerized system that utilizes a transmitter and receiver or visual display system.
