Abstract: Systems and techniques for aggregation, display, and sharing of data. Graphic items representing data objects identified by a data package may be displayed on timelines. Each timeline may be associated with a respective class of data, and each graphic item displayed on a respective timeline may represent one or more of the data objects in the class associated with the respective timeline.

Abstract: An aquarium façade assembly with encased faux human head creates an animated visual effect through use of a transparent sidewalls; a base with a mirror finish; LEDs shining on the mirror finish; a front façade chamber containing an aerated, bubbling liquid; and a suspended, yet moving faux human head. An aerator, an air tube, and a liquid fill-drain aperture enhance aeration, circulation, and drainage for the liquid contained in the front façade chamber, to enhance the visual effect of the faux human head. A passive infrared sensor detects motion near the front sidewall, and actuates motion of the faux human head through a cable, pulley, and shaft mechanism. Magnets in the base and cover of the aquarium assembly generate a magnetic field throughout the aquarium cavity. The magnetic field causes metallic materials integrated in the faux human head to gyrate, causing the head to gyrate accordingly.

Abstract: A resource tracking system for monitoring the status of multiple resources, displaying the status of those resources, and mirroring the status information to multiple displays for remote users. The resource tracking system comprises a resource tracking board and a server. The board comprises a re-writable surface with a plurality of arrayed buttons and lights, and a network interface operably coupled to the buttons and lights. The lights emit at least three colors—green when the associated resource is available, yellow when the resource is reserved, and red when the resource is in use. The server is configured to generate interactive displays enabling remote users to observe and reserve available resources. The interactive displays feature a representation of at least one of the buttons and lights on the board. The server causes any status change of a resource on the board to be reflected on the interactive displays, and vice-versa.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for aggregation, display, and sharing of data. One or more content rules define the content of a data package. Data objects are associated with the data package based on the content rules. Each data object is also associated with a respective source channel and a respective time when the data object was made available on the associated channel. The channels correspond to different third-party communication applications. Graphic items are displayed on timelines, where each timeline is associated with a respective channel and each graphic item represents one or more of the data objects made available on the channel. Each graphic item is displayed on the corresponding timeline at a position corresponding to the one or more times associated with the data objects represented by the graphic item.

Each timeline may be associated with a respective class of data, and each graphic item displayed on a respective timeline may represent one or more of the data objects in the class associated with the respective timeline. A prediction may be made regarding which data will be displayed in the near future. A pre-fetch request may be generated, and the predicted data may be retrieved from a remote server and stored in a local data cache before the user requests that the predicted data be displayed.

Abstract: A resource tracking system for monitoring the status of multiple resources, displaying the status of those resources to medical personnel, and mirroring the status information to multiple displays for remote users is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the tracking system is used to track the availability of beds in a hospital or treatment facility. The resource tracking system comprises a resource tracking board and a server. The board comprises a re-writable surface with a plurality of buttons and lights arrayed in one or more columns; and, a network interface operably coupled to the plurality of buttons and plurality of lights. The lights are configured to emit at least three colors including green when the associated resource is available, yellow when the resource is reserved, and red when the resource is in use. The server is configured to generate interactive displays enabling remote users to observe and reserve available resources.
