It is also linked to a secure patient medical record so the patient and/or healthcare professional can collect, archive and track information and trends.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that address issues related to data privacy by enabling users to elect various levels of data sharing. A user of a user device is enabled to indicate their comfort level with sharing, transmitting, or otherwise exposing individual activity records (data entities) with respect to various activity categories. The exposure of activity records may be controlled with respect to on-device and off-device components. Furthermore, privacy profiles may be automatically generated for the user, and the privacy profiles may be automatically activated in corresponding situations.

Abstract: Devices for altering the flow of air in a respiratory cavity such as the nostrils of the nose. These methods and devices may be useful for affecting a physiologic benefit in patients suffering from a variety of medical disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea. The devices are typically removable devices that may be placed in both nostrils to increase resistance to airflow within the respiratory cavity. Resistance to expiration may be selectively increased relative to inspiration. The nasal devices may also increases patency of the nares. Any of these devices may be configured to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in a subject wearing the device.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a duct assembly including an internal component part such as a silencer is disclosed. The duct assembly may be made in a blow-molding operation in which first and second duct parts are formed from a single parison as a combined part that is then split apart to receive a component part in a housing and subsequently closed by a closure part. Alternatively, the first and second housing parts may be separately formed and a component part may be inserted into a housing defined by one or both of the first and second duct parts. The first and second duct parts may be joined and sealed by injection molding a ring over telescopically assembled ends of the first and second parts.

Abstract: A method of generating executable code for a target platform in a neural network includes receiving a spiking neural network description. The method also includes receiving platform-specific instructions for one or more target platforms. Further, the method includes, generating executable code for the target platform(s) based on the platform-specific instructions and the network description.

Abstract: A water flow deflection device configured to be attached to a side of a boat for boat wake enhancement is disclosed. The water flow deflection device includes a frame which includes a base, an extension arm, and two or more suction cups for attaching the water flow deflection device to the side of the boat. The water flow deflection device also includes a water flow deflector attached to the frame and includes an enlarged surface area aligned away from the extension arm and configured to deflect water. The deflector having two sections that are movable relative to each other such that the surface area is adjustable. The water flow deflection device also includes an adjustable support that extends between and connects the deflector to the extension, the support configured to adjust an angle of the deflector relative to the side of the boat.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable users to provide explicit declarations that are used to generate recommendations for the users. An explicit declaration is received from a user of a user device. The explicit declaration is configured to influence a subsequent recommendation. The words of the explicit declaration are processed to generate a record. A recommendation rule is generated based on the generated record. The recommendation rule is executed to generate a recommendation for the user. The generated recommendation is provided to the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for a portable modular drying device that includes a distributing manifold for receiving a blower device that distributes air through the device, and at least one drying manifold having a first end, a second end, and at least one opening between the first end and the second end for distributing the drying air selectively secured to the distributing manifold. The device further includes at least one drying hose or glove tube selectively secured to the at least one opening of the at least one drying manifold.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for developing parallel networks. Parallel network design may comprise a general purpose language (GPC) code portion and a network description (ND) portion. GPL tools may be utilized in designing the network. The GPL tools may be configured to produce network specification language (NSL) engine adapted to generate hardware optimized machine executable code corresponding to the network description. The developer may be enabled to describe a parameter of the network. The GPC portion may be automatically updated consistent with the network parameter value. The GPC byte code may be introspected by the NSL engine to provide the underlying source code that may be automatically reinterpreted to produce the hardware optimized machine code. The optimized machine code may be executed in parallel.

Abstract: A mobile platform displays a corrected view of an image and/or augmented reality (AR) data based on the position of the user with respect to the mobile platform. The corrected view is produced by determining a position of the user with respect to the mobile platform using an image of the user from a backward facing camera. The display information is provided in the form of an image or video frame of the environment captured with a forward facing camera or AR data. The position of the user with respect to the mobile platform is used to determine the portion of the display information to be displayed that is aligned with the line of sight between the user and the mobile platform so that the displayed information is aligned with the real world environment.
