Abstract: A mobile wireless device (100) in the configuration of user wearable glasses includes at least one lens including at least one transparent display (110). The at least one display is operable to provide visual outputs that are visually perceivable to the user of the device. The user is enabled to see through the at least one lens, physical surroundings in a direct field of view. The device includes at least one input device (116, 122, 114) which receives user inputs. At least one circuit is in operative connection with the at least one display, the at least one input device, a data store (106) and a wireless transceiver (120). At least one user input is operative to cause the device to communicate at least one wireless message which includes data usable to identify a financial account. At least one remote circuit is operative responsive to the at least one wireless message to cause a financial transfer to or from the financial account.

Abstract: A mobile device configured to be carried by a user enables the user to wirelessly request delivery of tangible items including cash. If an amount of value associated with the request is authorized by a remote system, the mobile device is usable to request delivery of at least one tangible item at a user specified delivery location through communication with at least one delivery service terminal of a delivery service. The mobile device receives a transaction details message from the delivery service indicating the deliverable items and the delivery location. Sending a confirmation message with the mobile device which indicates that the user agrees with the information in the transaction details message, causes the tangible items to be delivered to the user at the specified location.

Abstract: A backpack support device for coupling a backpack to a user includes a frame that is substantially rectangularly shaped. The frame comprises a pair of first rods and a plurality of second rods. Each first rod comprises a plurality of nested section so that the first rod is selectively extensible. Each first rod is arcuate proximate to a top of the first rod to define a shoulder hook that is configured to position over a respective shoulder of a user. Each second rod comprises a plurality of nested segments so that the second rod is selectively extensible. Each second rod is coupled to and extends between an associated pair of nested sections. A pair of fasteners is coupled singly proximate to the shoulder hooks on a back of the frame. The fasteners are configured to couple to shoulder straps of a backpack to couple the backpack to the frame.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation comprising as an active ingredient micron-sized sulphur particles [-(300 microns]. The pharmaceutical preparation further comprises an excipient, i.e. a sodium lignin sulphate or other suitable agents. The preparation is used for the prevention and treatment of pathogenic disorders in humans and animals, in a nutritional and/or supplemental regime, as well as, to improve feed and reproductive performance. A variety of conditions were treated including: pneumonia, arthritis, ulcers, diabetes mellitus, GI cancer, lupus, herpes, psoriasis and early menopause.

Abstract: A method for controlling a coasting downshift in an automatic transmission having a torque converter that includes an impeller driveably connected to an engine and a turbine hydrokinetically coupled to the impeller and driveably connected to the transmission input. During a coast condition, the speed of the turbine decreases, and the speed of the engine decreases to and is maintained at an engine idle speed. After the downshift event begins, the turbine speed increases due a transfer of torque from an off-going transmission control element to an oncoming control element. Engine speed increases steadily until it reaches the target engine speed. The downshift is completed, and engine speed decreases until it again reaches the idle speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically supplying both food and water to an animal according to a predefined schedule input into a timer wherein food is introduced into a food ring mounted on a rotatable carousel from a feed hopper and the rotation of the carousel being controlled by the timer. Water is introduced also at timed intervals through spray nozzles for several purposes, namely, to premoisten pelletized food prior to it being eaten and to clean the food ring subsequent to food consumption or removal of any leftover food, which food removal takes place by gravity. Water is also introduced into a drinking bowl for the pet to consume. Periodically, according to the input schedule, the water is automatically drained and subsequently the bowl is refilled.
