Abstract: A fully electric hydrofoil boat comprises an elongated hull, a front canard hydrofoil supported by a front support system configured to raise or lower thereof, and a pair of independently-controlled port and starboard rear stowable hydrofoils supported by their respective rear support systems, configured to raise or lower the rear hydrofoils to a selected depth or tilt them out of the water when docking or transporting the boat on a trailer. The hull has a cut-out section in the front portion sized to fit the front canard hydrofoil out of the water if desired. The boat may operate energy-efficiently in a hydrofoil flight mode at high speeds or in a displacement mode at slow speeds when the hydrofoils are in their raised positions.

The system and method further includes drone assistance means and radio signal item and biological detection so as to improve accuracy. Other features to improve guidance and accuracy include landmark navigation and masking to improve accuracy of item recognition and detection.

Abstract: An easily cleanable liquid container includes a straw having a pivotably mounted internal one-way spill preventing valve and a closable drinking spout with an overmolded drinking tip. The pivotably mounted internal one-way spill preventing valve is retained in a pivotable straw nut that is pivotably attached to a straw tube, which allows easy access to internal straw components for easier cleaning. The overmolded drinking tip and a wiper seal limit the number of cracks and crevices that may collect dirt or other contaminants.

Abstract: A method and system to process a selection of a browser back button at a client machine. The system receives a browser back button selection, associates the browser back button selection to a first user interface identifier, retrieves the first user interface based on the first user interface identifier, associates the first user interface identifier to a second user interface, and displays the second user interface responsive to selection of the browser back button.

Abstract: Methods and Systems to browse data items are described. The system receives selections, over the network at a computer based system, from a client machine and uses the selections to identify a level of interest of a first user for a first browsing set. The first browsing set includes a first browsing concept. The system receives a query from, over the network at a computer based system including a keyword. The system automatically selects the first browsing set based on the query and the elevated level of interest of the first user for the first browsing set. The system generates a first user interface including the browsing concept. Finally, the system communicates the first user interface including the browsing concept to the client machine.

Abstract: A smart container that includes a bottle or other container, a load cell, an accelerometer, a processor, and a colored light source. The container may be a liquid container, a pill container, or a food container. The colored light source may include one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which can be programed to emit unique illumination patterns. The container may also include a speaker or motor to emit audio and vibrational notifications. The container provides a method of tracking consumption by a user of a substance held in a container.

Abstract: Methods and systems to process a selection of a browser back button are described. The system includes a server that receives a request, over a network, for an initial user interface and communicates the initial user interface to a client machine. The initial user interface includes a client application program that monitors and identifies whether a storage location in a hidden frame is updated by a browser. The browser updates the storage location with a first user interface identifier in response to receipt of a single browser back navigation element selection. The client application program associates the first user interface identifier to a second user interface identifier responsive to the identification of the storage location as being updated. The client application program displays the second user interface in a visible frame responsive to the identification of the storage location as being updated.

Abstract: Methods and Systems to browse data items. There is provided a method and system to enable a buyer to browse listings that are listed, by sellers on a network-based marketplace and stored in a data resource. There is further provided a method to cancel characteristics used to identify listings that are listed by sellers on a network-based marketplace.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of processing a data search request are presented. In one example, a data search request including a plurality of constraints is received. Each of the plurality of constraints is of one of a plurality of constraint types. At least one of the plurality of constraints of a first constraint type is expanded to one or more constraints of at least one other constraint type. A plurality of search definitions is formulated utilizing the plurality of constraints. Each of the plurality of search definitions includes a unique constraint set excluding at least one of the plurality of constraints. A plurality of searches is performed using the plurality of search definitions to generate a plurality of search results. Data item counts corresponding to the search definitions are calculated. The data item counts and the corresponding search definitions are communicated to a client machine.

Abstract: A method and system to process a data search request. The system includes a query controller module to receive the data search request that includes constraints; a reduced constraint builder module to formulate a plurality of search definitions that are formulated to exclude at least one constraint; and a search engine to perform searches of a data source to generate search results and to utilize the search results to calculate counts of data items that respectively correspond to the search definitions. The query controller module communicates the counts of data items and the corresponding search definitions to a client machine. Each of the search definitions is formulated to include a constraint set.

Abstract: A tubeless fiber optic cable is disclosed, including at least one optical fiber extending in a longitudinal direction, and an outer jacket extending in the longitudinal direction so as to surround the optical fiber. The outer jacket has a cross-section defining an inner surface and an outer surface. At least one strength member extends in the longitudinal direction along the outer jacket and is disposed so that a portion thereof protrudes from the inner surface of the outer jacket, so that when a ripcord is pulled from the outer jacket separation of the outer jacket occurs, thereby allowing access to a cavity containing the optical fiber. In another embodiment, the ripcord protrudes from the inner surface of the outer jacket.
