  • Publication number: 20230329630
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for monitoring a user's respirator), condition and provide decision support by analyzing a user's audio data. Spoken phonemes may be detected within audio data, and acoustic features may be extracted for the phonemes. A distance metric may be computed to compare phoneme feature sets of a user. Based on the comparison, a determination about the user's respiratory condition, such as whether the user has a respiratory condition (e.g., an infection) and/or whether the condition is changing, may be made. Some aspects include predicting the user's respiratory condition in the future utilizing the phoneme feature sets. Decision support tools in the form of computer applications or services may utilize the detected or predicted respiratory condition information to initiate an action for treating a current condition or mitigating a future risk.

  • Publication number: 20230308725
    Abstract: A method and a system for receiving a user's selection of a content, retrieving data about the content, tracking content consumption, launching a reactive module based on input from the user, registering a timestamped response of the user, the response comprising a graphic symbol is provided. The method may be further comprise receiving content-retrieving information from a second user, searching contents to identify a candidate for the second user's consumption, receiving a selection of a content from the candidate, tracking a position of the content that is selected and being consumed by the second user, launching the reactive module on a second client device based on input from the second user. The virtual platform provides an electronic venue of dynamic communications for content consumers, where users experience pseudo-realtime interactions by seeing the virtual platform's reconstruction of other users' responses that shows reacting users' emotional status.

  • Publication number: 20230270063
    Abstract: A rotary garden apparatus, method and system for growing plants comprising an open rotatable cylindrical drum mounted within a structural frame is provided wherein said apparatus comprises an accessible front area permitting access to the drum and grow trays mounted on said drum from the front of the apparatus. The rotating drum portion comprises metal bars which form struts round the periphery of the drum on which grow trays can be mounted. The grow trays are inserted by sliding them along the struts of the drum and they are held in position by arms which extend below the metal struts over which the grow trays slide into position. The inverted T shaped fit between the tray and the strut holds the tray in position during rotation without further securing mechanisms required. The operation and most routine maintenance of the apparatus can all be done from the front of the apparatus thereby permitting multiple apparatus units to be placed side by side in a grow facility or against walls.
