  • Patent number: 11966517
    Abstract: A human interface including steps of presenting an image, then receiving a gesture from the user. The image is analyzed to identify the elements of the image and then compared to known images and then either soliciting an input from the user or displaying a menu to the user. Comparing the image and/or graphical image elements may be effectuated using a trained artificial intelligence engine or, in some embodiments, with a structured data source, said data source including predetermined images and menu options. If the input from the user is known, then presenting a predetermined menu. If the image is not known, then presenting an image or other menu options, and soliciting from the user the desired options. Once the user selections an option, the resulting selection may be used to further train the AI system or added to the structured data source for future reference.

  • Publication number: 20080243959
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for backing up computer files comprising a portable housing, nonvolatile memory within the housing, an interface on the housing for communication between the nonvolatile memory and the computing device, and a software application in the nonvolatile memory. Using the software application, files are designated on the computing device for backing up. Copies of the designated files are made by the application and stored in the nonvolatile memory. The software application may also be used to designate backed up files in the nonvolatile memory for restoration on the computing device. Copies of the designated files are made by the application and restored on the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20070208385
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain through skin surface stimulation of the peripheral nervous system as a treatment for movement disorders. Skin surface electrodes are positioned at predetermined peripheral surface stimulation sites on the skin surface using a variety of neural imaging techniques. A pulsatile electrical current is generated at the stimulation sites through a variety of standard electrical stimulation devices. Stimulation of the peripheral surface stimulation sites translates to electrical stimulation of a specific area of the brain.
