Abstract: A system and method of ordering and delivering food accessible through web-enabled devices in which employers, employees and food vendors register into the system. The system and method of ordering and delivering food that enables food vendors to publish food menu items or daily specials; employers to identify and approve food vendors based on geographical areas of service, delivery locations or ranking; employees to develop customizable meal plans, to submit customized food orders to food vendors during specific time durations, to rank food vendors or food menu items and to make payments to food vendors. The system and method of ordering and delivering food groups individual food orders based on selected food vendors and delivery locations and transfers the food orders to the selected food vendors, who review the food orders and notify food order status to employees on their web-enabled devices; and facilitates food order delivering process.

Abstract: A rivertube system for transporting urban and metropolitan passengers by river and sea using watercraft, with the watercraft travelling along the rivers and coasts of cities. The system includes an automatic docking system for boats and closed or covered stops, built on the river or on the sea, with large floating platforms that enable passengers to get on and off the boats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a Rivertube system for transporting urban and metropolitan passengers, by river and sea, which is similar to a metro system, using watercraft instead of trains, said watercraft travelling along the rivers and coasts of cities instead of on tracks and in tunnels. The system comprises an automatic docking system for the boats and closed or covered stops, built on the river or on the sea, with large floating platforms that enable passengers to get on and off the boats more quickly and with greater agility than in conventional metro cars.

Abstract: A device is worn on the head that covers the outer ear. The device comprises one or more materials that exotherm upon activation, so that the device generates heat. The generated heat is contained within the ear cap or covering for the outer ear, and the heat is communicated with the ear canal. The heat reduces pain associated with infection or pressure changes, and assists in equalizing pressure within the ear.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for location-based triggering in a mobile receiver is described. In one example, a triggering region is designated. Expected pseudorange data is generated within the mobile receiver and pseudoranges to a plurality of satellites are measured. A delta position is computed with respect to a virtual center of the triggering region using satellite trajectory data, the measured pseudoranges, and the expected pseudoranges. The delta position is compared with the radius restriction value, the results of which may be used to trigger an event. In another example, expected pseudorange data is obtained at the mobile receiver. Pseudoranges from the mobile receiver to a plurality of satellites are measured. The measured pseudoranges and expected pseudoranges are compared using a metric to produce delta values. The delta values are compared with a radius restriction value, the results of which may be used to trigger an event.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for time management in a position location system is described. In one example, a time relation is received at a server. The time relation includes a relationship between an air-interface time of a base station and a satellite time for a satellite constellation from a first satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver. The time relation is then stored in the server. In another example, satellite time is determined at a first time for a satellite constellation at an SPS receiver. A time offset is determined between the satellite time and an air-interface time of a base station. The time offset is stored within the SPS receiver. A position of the SPS receiver is computed at a second time using satellite measurements and the stored time offset.

Abstract: A device may be worn on the head and surround the outer ear. The device comprises one or more materials that exotherm upon activation, so that the device generates heat. The heat is contained within the ear cap or covering for the outer ear, and the heat is communicated with the ear canal. The heat reduces pain associated with infection or pressure changes, and assists in equalizing pressure within the ear.
