  • Patent number: 11638722
    Abstract: The invention concerns a medicine and a prophylactic medicine for COVID-19 disease. The inventive medicine targets the endosomic, non-endosomic and/or intracellular viral pathways and inhibits them. The best mode of the invention is considered to be the medicine that blocks all three viral pathways. In the best mode the individual dose of a constituent component of the medicine is arranged to a dosage size sufficient to inhibit its designated SARS-CoV-2 viral pathway. This allows the dose of a particular pharmacological agent to be smaller than in a drug with just one kind of pharmacological agent. The best mode of the invention shuts the two cell membrane viral pathways and the one intracellular viral pathway with the minimum efficient dose, thereby preventing drug overdose, and enabling prophylactic or preventive use.

  • Publication number: 20230009244
    Abstract: A mobile phone connected to a fleet of radio transceiver chips that can be individually identified by the mobile station, which automatically are associated with a photo when the phone camera is used in proximity. The transceiver chips have a small loudspeaker, vibrator and/or light emitter for producing an alarm, and the transceiver chip also can determine and send back its location to the mobile phone. The mobile phone deduces its location by GPS or triangulation, and has an application which can be programmed to check the location of items given predetermined criteria are met, or upon user request. For example the mobile phone can be used to program luggage lists, and check whether everything is with the user at a time. The best mode involves typically a smartphone with relevant application software and RFID tags enhanced by light emitter, loudspeaker and/or vibrator and adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20220147947
    Abstract: A cloud based intelligent secretary application, a method and a system for scheduling a meeting is disclosed. The invention includes a cloud based intelligent secretary application, running on a mobile device (200, 500, 800, 1100) and a cloud server (222, 522, 822, 1122). The cloud based intelligent secretary application enables multiple users to form a group. The members of the group allow their mobile devices to be accessed by the cloud based intelligent secretary application. The cloud based intelligent secretary application receives a request for arranging a meeting (312) with at least two members of the group. The cloud based intelligent secretary application calculates the meeting means, place and time that allow the minimum total disruption and cost, and/or, maximum efficiency for the meeting. The cloud based intelligent secretary application suggests (340) the meeting means, place and time that allows the minimum total disruption and cost.

  • Publication number: 20210383457
    Abstract: The invention provides a refrigerator system, a method and a software program product for controlling and/or advising a diet for a user. The refrigerator system has a refrigerator including a light and a camera that captures an image of contents of the refrigerator. The image is processed by a graphics processing unit (GPU) integrated with the refrigerator and/or a cloud server. The GPU analyses the image to recognise a quantity, a quality, and/or a kind of food articles and/or food packages such as, vegetables, fruits, beverages, etc. A central processing unit (CPU)/GPU of the refrigerator provides diet plans, recipe recommendations, identifies grocery replenishment requirements, updates and shares shopping lists with food delivery agents, etc., based on the analysis of the refrigerator contents. The invention helps in minimizing food wastage, expanding meal options considering expiry dates, and maximizing benefits of a healthy diet by recommending and controlling the user's diet.

  • Patent number: 10530476
    Abstract: Free space optical communication is plagued by interruptions in the connections caused by atmospheric phenomena, such as weather. A wireless beam transmission system includes at least one transmitter (110) and accommodates several wavelengths, and at least one transmission wavelength is arranged to be chosen based on spectral absorption measurements of the atmosphere in the carrier beam path of communication. The invention concerns also a transceiver for repeating wireless optical communication signals. The long range and high reliability of spectroscopically sensitive light beams at a penetrating frequency allow the affordable provisioning of high bandwidth optical or IR communication connections to devices and buildings that were previously either very expensively connected to the fiber optic backbone networks, expensive low bandwidth radio or microwave networks, or unreachable by traditional free space optics solutions.

  • Patent number: 10192251
    Abstract: A mobile station is arranged to determine its location, which is searched against street addresses from a database, and at least one matching street address is retrieved. The street address is searched on the mobile station and/or over the network. The search engine conducts a search in the mobile station file system and/or the Internet and/or a file system over the network with the at least one query term, -at least one search result is arranged to be displayed to user on the screen of the mobile station. This facilitates on-demand effortless Mobile Internet Search that allows the users to access opportunities that they did not know about, or would not have had time to find out about with minimum effort as the software of the mobile phone is scanning the Internet and information pages for these opportunities and displaying the results dynamically on the mobile phone screen.

  • Patent number: 10055764
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic short messaging and advertising method where minimal initiative is required from the consumer. Some embodiments of the invention may also be applied to an electronic sales method. The invention may also be applied for normal short messaging. The electronic short messaging method for collect calling may send transmissions to at least one subscriber terminal via the Internet and/or the telephony network. The method may include sending a first transmission to a recipient subscriber terminal for display, wherein the first transmission defines one or more active alternatives including at least one of initiating a collect call and deleting the first transmission. The method may also include calculating costs associated with at least one of the first transmission and the one or more active alternatives.
