  • Patent number: 9384514
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise systems, computer program products, and methods for a financial and social management system that provides improved tracking and management related to how, where, when, and with whom a user enters into activities. The financial and social management system captures activity information and images from various sources of information, including but not limited to social networking accounts, e-receipts, contact lists, calendars, and the like, and associates the activity information and images with the activities. The financial and social management system may determine locations, social relationships, entities, categories, or the like from the various sources of information and tag the activities with location tags, social relationship tags, entity tags, category tags, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20150334533
    Abstract: A first mobile device receives a request to send information updates from the first mobile device to the second mobile device, the request specifying a predefined geographical region. In response to the request, the first mobile device checks its current location and determines whether the current location is within the predefined geographical region. After determining that the current location of the first mobile device is within the predefined geographical region, the first mobile device sends a first information update to the second mobile device. Subsequently, the first mobile device sends a second information update to the second mobile device after determining that the current location of the first mobile device is outside the predefined geographical region.

  • Patent number: 9034353
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are mesocapsules that include agriculturally active ingredients. These mesocapsules are comprised of a polyurea shell and include hydrophilic groups on their surfaces and have a volume-average diameter of about 500 nm or less and some of them have a volume-average diameter on the order of about 300 nm or less. These mesocapsules are suited for delivering active ingredients that are not very soluble in water. Methods for making these mesocapsules include interfacial polycondensation reactions carried out in the presence of surfactants and other methods in which all or most of the surfactant is replaced by adding amino acids to the aqueous phase of the interfacial reaction mixture before forming the final emulsion.
