Patent number: 11257346Abstract: Systems and methods for configuration for contextual response to motion-based events are disclosed. For example, a predefined event may be detected. The system may determine that a subject associated with the event is of a given type of subjects and may determine whether another person is present in the environment associated with the event to assist in providing aid. The presence of the other person may be detected, a type of the other person may be performed, and a notification may be output on a second device associated with the other person based on the type. The system may track when the other person reach an area associated with the event and may cause the first device to perform an action to assist the other person in providing aid.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Meyers, Mara Clair Segal

Publication number: 20210199046Abstract: The I.W.E.C.E. is a combustion engine designed to not need fuel. The electrolysis device splits molecules in this instance water or H2O into the atoms that make up the molecules. Then the atoms are used as fuel in place of traditional fuels. When the fuels are used or combusted, they will turn to steam and be moved to the cooling chamber where they will return to liquid state. The liquid water will then be separated into its components again, restarting the cycle. The system is separated into four main parts the “fuel” tank, the electrolysis chamber, the combustion chamber and the cooling chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventor: Markus James Meyers

Publication number: 20210077449Abstract: Novel active compositions having antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity are described, the activity provided by an active component prepared in a suspension, the active component being at least a single chain fatty acid having a carbon length of 12, or between 12 and no more than 18. The fatty acid may be esterified and/or ethylated or methylated. As an antimicrobial the active component has activity against one or more microorganisms including Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Mycobacterium spp., Clostridium spp., and Candida spp., with an MIC as low as 0.0018 ?g/ml. As an anti-inflammatory, it is at least as or is more effective than cyclosporine in preventing T-cell proliferation in response to a trigger, such as stimulation by the one or more microorganisms. The active component is more active when combined with a phospholipid (e.g., lecithin, phosphatidylcholine) and caused to form liposomal nanoparticles. It is also more active when caused to form coated liposomal nanoparticles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: NATUREZA, INC.Inventors: Lynn S.
