  • Patent number: 11551573
    Abstract: A method of configuring a smart booklet to encourage adherence to a treatment and/or educational program is disclosed, wherein the smart booklet is “off the grid” (e.g., not connected to an electrical or networking grid) and includes an integrated behavior incentivization feature. Based on an activation of a detection feature of the smart booklet, it is detected whether a state of one or more pages of the smart booklet has changed. Based on the determination that the state of the one or more pages has changed, a set of data items pertaining to the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program is created or updated. Based on an identification that the set of data items is indicative of a failure or a success with respect to the adherence to the treatment program, a message pertaining to the failure or the success is communicated via an output component of the smart booklet (e.g., to encourage the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program).

  • Patent number: 7851104
    Abstract: Anode-supported fuel cell, in particular SOFC, where stresses in the anode substrate are compensated for by a stress compensation layer. According to the invention said stress compensation layer is made porous by making a large number of vary small openings. These openings are preferably made hexagonal and the thickness of the walls between the openings is minor. An electron-conducting porous layer is applied to the stress compensation layer.
