  • Patent number: 10009663
    Abstract: Aspects relate to causing one or more signals to be detectable within a live event such that devices that record at least a portion of the event also record the one or more signals. The signals can be used for later processing and categorization of received recordings in order to associate the recordings with the event. Further actions can be performed based on the association. Such actions include digital rights management, crowd-sourced experiences, and categorization of the event for searching and retrieval purposes.

  • Patent number: 9919000
    Abstract: Proton mopping is a new anti-cancer therapeutic approach that disrupts cancer's immunologic balance. It results in the alteration of the pHi/pHe ratio (intracellular-extracellular) of the cancer cell, leading cancer to either normalcy or apoptosis. This technology deploys a chemical compound that has two parts, a glucose part to guide the molecule to the cancer site and a proton neutralizer to mop up the protons. Proof of the validity of this therapeutic approach came after using an existing chemical compound 2-[2(2-Aminoethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl a-D-mannopyranoside, C12H25NO8, which has the above mentioned properties. This compound is of the class of functionalized PEGylated glycosides, which are ligands for conjugation to biological molecules.

  • Patent number: 9883567
    Abstract: A wireless device control system includes a remote server connected to a wide area network and having control software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling devices at a site. The wireless device control system also includes a wireless gateway located at the site and configured to communicate with the remote server via cellular communication. Control devices are in wireless communication with the wireless gateway via a mesh network, with each of the control devices being wired to control one of the site devices. A computer device is connected to the wide area network and has an interface enabling a user to access the server control software. Control instructions entered on the remote server through the interface are communicated from the remote server to the wireless gateway and then from the wireless gateway to the control devices.

  • Publication number: 20170280538
    Abstract: Wireless lighting control systems and methods for controlling the illumination of one or more light fixtures are disclosed, including self-commissioning of hardware. Embodiments include a server connected to a wide area network and having software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling lighting fixtures at a site. The control system also includes a wireless gateway at the site initiating communication with the server via a cellular network. Wireless devices initiate communication with the wireless gateway via a mesh network and each wireless device can be wired to control at least one lighting fixture. Once hardware of the site system (e.g., a gateway and/or any device) is mounted or positioned in the appropriate location and powered on, the hardware will self-commission by automatically initiating communications. The gateway will initiate communication and identify itself to server system.

  • Publication number: 20170223808
    Abstract: A wireless lighting control system includes a remote server system connected to a wide area network and having software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling lighting fixtures at an installation site. The site includes wireless devices in communication with a gateway via a local wireless network and at least some of the wireless devices are configured to control lighting fixtures, including a configurable user control device, such as a wall dimmer switch, having user interface elements configurable to activate specific lighting effects, such as power, dimming, and scene control. A user computer device is connected to the wide area network and has a graphical user interface enabling virtually mapping of user interface elements to lighting effects. Configuration can advantageously be done without physical access to either the user control device or to the lighting controllers, fixtures, or other devices at the installation site.

A user interface can connect to the wide area network and enable a user to access server control software. Control instructions entered on the server by the user interface are communicated from the server to the wireless gateway and to the wireless devices. A user site device may be connected to the site mesh network enabling a user to configure, monitor, and control lighting fixtures at the site.
