Abstract: The innovation supports the ability to map alpha characters entered directly into the dialer application of a smartphone. These alpha characters can be entered via a smartphone keyboard (e.g., QWERTY keyboard) and converted to the appropriate digits as mapped to a conventional telephone keypad. The resultant numerical digits can be used to prompt a network call. Additionally, the innovation can be used during an active call to respond to prompts that traditionally require 12-key mappings. This innovation allows a user to both dial a number directly via a smartphone keyboard, and filter contacts by name, in a non-modal manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed for magnetically changeable pendant necklace that uses metal-based surfaces of decorative emblems, which adhere to a base containing a strong, high gauss magnet. To allow the wearer a great deal of flexibility in changing the pendant design without the use of any mechanical means. The magnet is designed in as a part of the pendant. The holding mechanism is of a high gauss magnet and is designed to allow the decorative element to attach itself to the magnetic base. The decorative element can be attached or removed with the least amount of effort and without any tools or any special knowledge or skill. The decorative element can be removed with a slight push of the fingers. Serves two functions; one for the Game of Golf and the other as a Fashion Statement. Safe, secure and fashionable necklace/pendant. Allows wearer to choose from a large assortment of pendants and match the style with the clothes without having to purchase a new necklace each time.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of hydroxy(cycloalkane/cyclokene)phenylethyl of the general formula (III) comprising alkylation of its precursor amine of general formula (II) which is in turn produced by an effective reduction process from its precursor cyanide having the general formula (I) using Raney Nickel (CORMIII) as catalyst where, either of R5 and R6 independently could be in meta or para position and R5, R6 are independently hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkanoyloxy, cyano nitro, alkylmercapto, amino, alkylamino, alkanamido, halo, trifluoromethyl, or taken together methylenedioxy, n is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; R7 is hydrogen of alkyl of 1-7 carbon atom, R1 IH or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atom and R2 is alkyl 1-3 carbon atom, the dotted line represents optional unsaturation. Compounds of formulae IV, V and VI are respectively derivatives of compounds I, II and III respectively.
