  • Patent number: 10910105
    Abstract: A method and associated computer system and computer program product for monitoring the use of language of a patient that may enable the identification, analysis and reporting on of the natural progression of various neurological or speech disorders, is provided. The method includes obtaining a verbal response of the patient to a stimulus, converting the verbal response into text and the generating of verbal and textual response data by analyzing the verbal response and response text, respectively. A response vector may be formed base on the verbal and textual response data, which may then be used to determine a reply to the patient. Improved accuracy and consistency of monitoring the use of language associated with neurological and speech disorders is achieved, leading to a greater rate of success in the treatment of these conditions.

  • Patent number: 8931081
    Abstract: Information and data stored by a mobile device is protected by comprising applying password-protection to the locally-stored information without persistently storing the corresponding password locally. Rather, the corresponding password is stored by a remote password server. In response to a trigger event on the mobile device, such as an unlocking action by the user, a request is sent by the mobile device to the password server to retrieve the corresponding server, and the corresponding password is returned to the mobile device. The mobile device can then use the password to access the protected information. If the user determines that the mobile device is lost, stolen, or out of the user's physical control, the user may access the password server and disable the sending of the password to the mobile device, thereby thwarting attempts to access the protected data on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8171089
    Abstract: A method is provided for email processing to recipients based on user defined visibility settings. Input of email addresses for recipients in a privileged list and for recipients not in the privileged list is received. An email message is transmitted to recipients in the privileged list and to recipients not in the privileged list. The recipients in the privileged list are able to visibly distinguish recipients in the privileged list from the recipients not in the privileged list. The recipients not in the privileged list are unable to visibly distinguish the recipients in the privileged list. Input of email addresses for recipients in a restricted list and for recipients not in the restricted list is received. An email message is transmitted to recipients in the restricted list and to recipients not in the restricted list. Recipients in the restricted list are unable to visibly see recipients in the restricted list.

  • Patent number: 7579945
    Abstract: An emergency response system capable of directing building occupants to a safe location in real-time is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of sensors which detect and monitor an emergency condition, a central processing unit which evaluates the data, calculates accessible evacuation routes, and sends the result to output devices which provide directional information to occupants. By combining an analysis of the flow of evacuees with changes in building structural information and the evolution of an emergency condition the system combines situation-aware data with contextual information to thereby provide the best available evacuation route to evacuees. In this manner, some evacuees may be redirected to alternate evacuation routes during the evacuation process itself, thereby minimizing problems due to congestion, potential panic of the evacuees, and changes in the emergency condition while increasing the probability that evacuees will reach a safe location.
