  • Publication number: 20160051431
    Abstract: A method for alleviating the dizziness symptoms of a person suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo comprising the steps of: positioning the head of the person on a head-rest device that is formed of a first pillow structure; a second pillow structure with at least one slanted surface; and a non-permanent fastener on at least one surface of the first pillow structure and one surface of the second pillow structure so that the first and the second pillow can be placed in a user-selected configuration one on top of the other and the relative positions of the first pillow structure to the second pillow structure is fixed by the non-permanent fastener. The second pillow structure overhangs the first pillow structure so as to define an overhang region. The method includes the step of adjusting the second pillow structure so as to position a sleeping surface of the second pillow structure at an angle between about 20 degrees and 60 degrees relative to a horizontal reference surface.

  • Publication number: 20150237151
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling push notifications from websites are described. In at least some embodiments, a push notification generally represents a way for a website to push information to a client device. For instance, a push notification may include content (e.g., text, images, video, audio, and so forth) that a website pushes to a client device. The content can be output via the client device, e.g., independently of an output of the website itself. According to one or more embodiments, a push notification channel is generated that enables notifications to be pushed from a website to a client device. Generally, a push notification channel represents a set of attributes and procedures that enable notifications to be securely and accurately pushed from a website to a client device.
