Abstract: A method of sequestering anions from a liquid including the anions includes contacting a composition comprising at least one macrocyclic moiety with the liquid. The macrocyclic moiety includes groups including an electropositive E-H bond donor extending into a cavity of the macrocyclic moiety wherein E is selected from the group consisting of C, N, and O, wherein two or more groups including an electropositive E-H donor interact with an anion to form a chelate with the anion.

Abstract: A method for providing product information and support services is performed by: providing a medical imaging equipment with a QR code and identification data, manufacturer accounts, a user account, a secure server for managing the manufacturer accounts and the user account and a portable computing device with a QR code scanner; communicably linking the user account to the secure server through the portable computing device; receiving the identification data by scanning the QR code with the QR code scanner; comparing the identification data to the manufacturer accounts in order to identify a matching manufacturer account associated with the medical imaging equipment; communicably linking the user account and the matching manufacturer account through the secure server; generating a viewable profile for the medical imaging equipment on the secure server; and enabling the user account or the matching manufacturer account to update the viewable profile with a notification or a log.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for tracking wellness and providing caregiving. The system includes a communication device configured to receive health data from at least one personal monitoring device associated with a user and transmit a caregiving notification to a mobile device associated with a caregiver. Further, the system includes a storage device configured to store a plurality of user profiles associated with a plurality of users, store a plurality of caregiver profiles associated with a plurality of caregivers and store the caregiving notification. Further, the system includes a processing device configured to analyze health data received from the at least one personal monitoring device and generate the caregiving notification based on each of a user profile of the user, a caregiver profile of the caregiver and analysis of the health data.

Abstract: A method for providing a physical consumer product related support and services on an electronic communication device contains a user account and a plurality of manufacturer accounts managed by a secure server. A user utilizes the user account to receive and provide information regarding the physical consumer product from the manufacturer. On the other hand, the plurality of manufacturer accounts is utilized by the manufacturer of the physical consumer product to connect to the user. Therefore, a two-way communication line is established between the user of the physical consumer product and the manufacturer of the physical consumer product. The line of communication between the user account and a matching manufacturer account from the manufacturer accounts is used to transfer product related information. In particular, repair information, recall information, product reviews and other related information is transferred between the user account and the matching manufacturer account.

Abstract: A system and method for exchanging data in a controlled network provides each participant in an event with a data storage medium that can be accessed throughout the event in order to readily share data among the participants. Scan data for the data storage medium of each of the participants is recorded and relayed to an event host in real time. Additionally, the scan data is graphically organized and distributed to the participants following the event to facilitate continual contact between the participants. A user account accessed on a user controlled device is authenticated through the controlled network, such that event based advertisements determined by the event host can be delivered to the user controlled device. Authentication of the user account and distribution of each of the event based advertisements is facilitated by inserting either an authentication source code or advertisement source code into a webpage source code.
