Abstract: A protective respirator that deactivates pathogens in a kill zone in front of a mouth and nose of a user by emitting Far UV-C radiation (e.g., having a wavelength centered around 222 nanometers). In some embodiments, a controller uses a mathematical model to determine a required intensity or emission time to provide a threshold probability of killing a microbe (e.g., a virus such as SARS-CoV-2). The required intensity or time may be determined based on atmospheric conditions and/or physiological conditions of the user. The Far UV-C radiation may be emitted in a direction through the kill zone that does not intersect with the skin or eyes of the user (e.g., away from the user or across the front of the user's face). Alternatively, the controller may estimate the fluence of Far UV-C radiation at the skin or eyes of the user over time and adjust the Far UV-C radiation emitted.

Abstract: A protective respirator, including an inhalation reactor chamber that treats and provides intake air to a user and an exhaust reactor chamber that treats exhaust air exhaled by the user. The respirator uses ultraviolet C radiation to deactivate potentially harmful particles without exposing the user to the radiation. In embodiments, the respirator includes a number of features that increase efficiency and prolong battery life. For instance, the protective respirator may use approximately half the power by alternating between the inhalation and exhalation reactor chambers. Additionally, the respirator may adjust the intensity of the UVC radiation based on the intensity of the user's respiration. Additionally, the reactor chamber cavities may be lined with a reflective material that exponentially increases the irradiance inside each chamber cavity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented interactive system, methods, and platform are herein disclosed to allow for the aggregation of context based feedback data according to a selected feedback context model. In an illustrative implementation, the computer-implemented interactive system/platform comprises an exemplary server computer environment, an instruction set comprising one or more instructions to request from the one or more other computing environments feedback data (e.g., such requests being made on a temporal basis according to one or more feedback context models), and a data store. The platform may be used to aggregate feedback data for various feedback sponsors/requestors, by way of example, as a user/customer is experiencing a product/service, in real time. The frequency, timing, and trigger for feedback data requests from users, illustratively, can be tailored by the one or more instructions of the one or more feedback context models that take into account a baseline use/experience of given product/service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to allow for multifactor authentication of automatic teller machines (ATM) transactions and transactions at a merchant's point of sale. In an illustrative implementation, a secondary PIN request is delivered to participating users, and/or a one-time use, randomly generated secondary PIN to a customer's mobile phone via a text message when the customer initiates a transaction at an ATM. The customer then replies with a text message to the secondary PIN request with the customer's PIN or inputs the secondary PIN into the ATM before the transaction may proceed. In an illustrative implementation, the customer's mobile phone is allowed to be used as a mobile PIN terminal for various payments devices used at a merchant's point of sale system. Also, an additional level of customer authentication using the ubiquitous mobile phone can be allowed, thereby increasing the security of ATM transactions and non-cash payments.

Abstract: A computer system for scheduling events between end users of the system. Each end user is granted a unique password protected personal calendar. This calendar is generated from information stored in a database at a central server, and delivered to each end user as standard HTML sent through the Internet. This custom personal calendar is then viewed by the end user in a standard Web Browser. This obviates the need for special software programs to be purchased by end users, and also allows end users of any CPU type to read their calendars. When an end user uses the system to send an Invitation or Announcement to others on the system, the sending end user has the option of sending Email in addition to posting that information in the calendars' of others. When an end user sends an Invitation or Announcement to a person who is not an Appointnet user, then the Appointnet system automatically creates a unique calendar for the recipient, and sends and Email to that person.
