Abstract: An apparatus includes a first member having a housing that encloses a power source and a controller, a second member coupled to the first member that is seeded with a target product, and a sensing module coupled to the first member to allow power from the power source to be transmitted to the sensing module and sensor data from the sensing module to be transmitted to the controller. The sensing module including a sensor oriented toward at least a portion of the second member. The sensor configured to obtain sensor data associated with at least one characteristic of the target product.

Abstract: A solar powered smartphone case includes an enclosure for housing a smartphone, an internal battery, an overlying solar panel, an underlying solar panel, and a flip-out solar panel. The overlying solar panel and the flip out solar panel are carried back-to-back by a flip-out door, which articulates between a folded position and an extended position. A hinge pivotably attaches the flip-out door to the enclosure. An inductive battery charger is operative for charging the internal battery with electric power generated by the overlying solar panel, the underlying solar panel, and the flip-out solar panel. The case may also include an input port for receiving a first auxiliary power cord connecting one or more auxiliary solar panels to the inductive charger, and an output port for connecting a second auxiliary power cord connecting one or more piggy-back smartphones to be charged by the internal battery of the solar powered smartphone case.

Abstract: Provided is a process of servicing a dynamic application program interface request that accommodates different contexts of different requests corresponding to different graph database schemas, the process including: receiving a first application program interface (API) request having a first context; selecting a first type of node in a graph database; obtaining a first schema and a second schema corresponding to the first type of node and the first context; determining that the first schema is partially overridden by the second schema; translating the first API request into a query language of the graph database based on both the first schema and overriding portions of the second schema; and submitting the translated graph database request to the graph database.

Abstract: A mobile video editing and sharing systems for social media referred to as the CAPTURE system, which improves over prior video editing systems for smartphones through a more extensive editing suite including functionality for adding and altering music to video files. The video editing portion of the system allows for further creative freedom and expansion than what is already offered. Firstly, current limitation on video are length are far too short; the system allows users to record up to one full minute of video, as well the ability to choose previously recorded video footage from the user's “Camera Roll” within the iOS software. Following this, the CAPTURE system offers a variety of specialty filters in addition to the color alteration filters typically provided in prior systems. The filters include reverse, speed and 3D effect, which adjust the visual content of the video without altering the music track.
