Abstract: A method of using a fractalization protocol to control the operation or travel path of a vehicle during travel or flight, includes a plurality of sensors that detect the occurrence of an event or travel path deviation. A master fractal controller initiates a space-variant fractalization protocol in order to collect the input data related to the detected event. In response to the input data, if the master space-variant fractalization protocol detects a deficiency in data resolution of the collected input data it identifies the slave controllers that are relevant to compensate for such deficiency. The master space-variant fractalization protocol then initiates slave fractals that correspond to the identified slave controllers for collecting additional input data and that define adjustable slave fractalization protocols. The space-variant fractalization protocol then causes the slave fractalization protocols to collect the additional input data.

Abstract: An interface autonomously collects input data to control the operation or travel path of an object, includes a plurality of independently operating sensors that detect the occurrence of an event. A master fractal controller initiates a space-variant fractalization protocol in order to collect the input data related to the detected event. In response to the input, the master fractal controller sends control signals to a servient controller to control the operation or travel path of the object. The master fractal controller initiates the space-variant fractalization protocol by identifying or defining a fractal space, and by further initiating sub-servient fractals in sub-servient spaces, within which an intersection of a graphical function layer that includes an executable grid with a graphical data layer causes a command or function be executed within the sub-servient fractal space.

Abstract: A programmable memory device for incorporation within a medium to distribute a force or shock, F, within the medium. It includes a programmable combination of micro-levers that cooperate in order to selectively disperse, absorb, redirect, reorient, or displace, at least part of the force, F, in a customizable fashion. At least one of the micro-levers includes a platform that is supported on a top portion of a support, in order to enable a lever action or momentum of the platform within the medium. As the force, F, is applied on the micro-lever, a reactive force, R, is generated and causes any a movement of the platform relative to the support or a movement of the support relative to the platform, effectively dispersing, absorbing, redirecting, reorienting, or displacing the force, F, within the medium.

Abstract: An interface for use on board a physical object, such as a vehicle, a projectile, a drone, etc., that travels autonomously under the influence of undetermined external forces that affect its travel path. During travel, the interface collects travel data, and automatically and dynamically executes a sequence of executable commands or functions using the collected data, in order to adjust deviations of the travel path relative to a predetermined travel path. The interface stores the travel data as a graphical data layer, which is superposed onto a graphical function layer for determining the travel path deviation and for dynamically executing corrective commands. The graphical function layer includes a graphical executable grid that defines a plurality of executable outlines or cells. Different executable commands or functions are embedded within the plurality of executable outlines or cells.

Abstract: A user interface for use in a user station to communicate with other user stations by means of a single uninterrupted, continuous, swiping motion while in continuous contact with the user interface, includes a contacts selection module that enables a user to select desired recipient contacts. A response selection module, R, authorizes the acquisition of the user's reaction. A reaction module captured the user's authorized reaction. A message selection module, M, enables the selection of the user's message. A query selection module, Q, enables the selection of the user's query to be selectively transmitted to said other user stations. An object transmission module selectively transmits the user's authorized reaction, the user's optional message, and the user's query to the other user stations.

Abstract: A footwear effects toning of the leg muscles. It includes two soles and a redress mechanism contained within each of the soles for redressing the positions of the soles, in order to adjust corresponding feet positions by toning the leg muscles. A shock absorbing pebble for use within the soles, includes an elastic membrane that deforms under pressure, and that defines two chambers that are connected by means of a gas permeable membrane. In a balanced position, the first chamber is filled with a mixture of gas along with fluid, and the second chamber is filled with gas. As an external force is applied to the membrane, gas molecules are forced into the second chamber, inflating it until equilibrium is achieved, thus dampening the external force.

Abstract: A portable, rechargeable, discontinuous positive airway pressure (DPAP) device for use by an individual as a breathing assist device. The DPAP device comprises a sensor for tracking an exhalation phase of a respiration cycle of the individual relative to a stimulation period, E0. A stimulation source responsive to a sensor determination that the exhalation phase has entered the stimulation period, E0, to discontinuously deliver a stimulation, during the stimulation period, E0. A controller regulates the delivery of the stimulation by the stimulation source. A rechargeable power cell for power the controller. The rechargeable power cell includes a Seebeck element that is placed in contact with the individual's body for thermoelectrically converting the individual's body heat into an electrical current that recharges the power cell.

Abstract: A Discontinuous Positive Airway Pressure (DPAP) device and method of using the same for reducing sleep disordered breathing events, such as sleep apnea and snoring. The DPAP device provides selective excitation to the pharyngeal conduit or another muscle or cartilage along the respiratory path, a predetermined period of time before the end of the expiration stage, in order to prematurely reverse the respiratory cycle before the total collapse of the pharyngeal conduit, thus enabling the inhalation stage to reopen and refill the pharyngeal conduit.

Abstract: Video receiving method and apparatus, are responsive to requests from a selector unit (240), for identifying channels (1 through n), in a transmitter system (204), containing video signals to be sent from the transmitter system (204) to one or more receiver systems (202). The receiving method includes steps of having the receiver system (202) select (94) one or more channels. The receiver system generates (90) signals identificative of the selected channels, and sends (29) the channel identifying signals to the transmitter system (204). The transmitter system uses the channel identifying signals to selectively identify the channels to be transmitted to the receiver system (202). The transmitter system compresses (17, 19, 21) and multiplexes (25) the signals of the channels selected by the receiver system (202). The receiver system (202) receives (75) the compressed and multiplexed signals, and stores (35, 37, 39) the received signals.
