Abstract: In some embodiments, the present invention provides an exemplary computer system that includes at least the following components: at least one processor; a non-transitory memory storing software instructions; and where, when executing the software instructions by the processor, the computer system is configured to perform at least: controlling a plurality of first software objects; controlling a plurality of second software objects; controlling a plurality of third software object; where each software object includes at least one property programmed with at least one trigger condition and at least one programmed action; where the at least one pre-programmed action is configured to dynamically change a value of at least one property of at least one other software object based on: i) the at least one trigger condition; and ii) a value of at least one other property.

Abstract: Some examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing virtual aggregation groups using a market platform. An example method may include establishing, using a market platform, a virtual aggregation group comprising at least two members. The method may also include generating a committed pricing agreement between the virtual aggregation group and at least one supplier. The committed pricing agreement may include compliance terms that determine at least one price parameter for a product purchase by the at least two members of the virtual aggregation group from the supplier based on a market commitment of the virtual aggregation group.

Abstract: A pet training method embodying a lawn accessory device for preventing pets from urinating and defecating on lawns is provided. The device has a reflective body providing a cavity for retaining salt water. The body includes a base with a plurality of legs for maintaining an upright orientation of the device even on a supporting surface have lawn growth. When placed in such lawn growth, the reflective properties of the container filled with water within its cavity discourages dogs and other pets from entering the surrounding area.

Abstract: A method and compositions for treating a patient that prevent or reduce drug abuse and overdose events.

Abstract: A personal and wearable device includes a strap, which is worn by the user, and a remote controller, which is held by a guardian or a teacher. The strap includes a built-in heart rate monitor, a built-in accelerometer and a built-in vibration motor, wherein the heart rate monitor and accelerometer are used to determine the current state of the child in real time. The accelerometer is used to monitor any sudden or repeated actions of the arms or limbs of the user in order to determine whether the user is undergoing an outburst based off the magnitude of the measured acceleration in the arm; and the vibration motor may generate vibrations, which are adjustable in strength via the remote controller. The device is compact in size and convenient to carry, and thus provides a realistic solution for the integration of autistic persons into mainstream schools, etc.

Abstract: Multi-layer solid oral dosage immediate release and extended release compositions and methods for delivering drugs in abnormally high pH environments wherein the extended release layer is formed from a drug resinate of a strong acid ion-exchange resin and a release rate retarding polymer compressed together.

Abstract: One or more techniques or systems are disclosed for allowing a first user to control what information is available to other users in the first user's address book on an address book system. A first user can import user contacts from one or more devices into the first user's address book in an address book system. The first user can enter additional contact information data into the first user's address book and edit preferences for other users to view selected portions of the entered contact information. The first user may subsequently identify a second user of the address book system and make a connection with the second user. The first user can edit access preferences for the second user, with regards to the second user accessing the first user's contact information.

Abstract: Some examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for evaluating participants in a market platform based on the performance of the participants in transactions using the market platform. These evaluations may result in ratings being assigned to the participants, where the rating provides an assessment of the desirability of contracting with the particular party. For example, a rating may provide an estimate of the likelihood that a buyer will comply with the commitment level of their committed pricing agreement, or a rating may provide an estimate of how likely a supplier is to deliver ordered goods in a timely manner and at an agreed-upon price. Implementations may further allow for configuration of a rating engine to provide a unique rating designed for a particular contracting party.

Abstract: Benzonatate resinates of weak acid ion exchange resins having the same distribution of butyl 4-aminobenzoate homologs as exist in the benzonatate listed in the F.D.A. Orange Book as Application No. N011210. These resinates, in simulated gastrointestinal dissolution, release essentially the same distribution of butyl-4 aminobenzoate homologs as exist in the benzonatate listed in the F.D.A. Orange Book as Application No. N011210.

Abstract: A method of treating orphan respiratory disease.

Abstract: Multi-layer solid oral dosage immediate release and extended release compositions and methods for delivering drug formulations using weak acid ion exchange resins in abnormally high pH environments.

Abstract: A process for verifying the playback of media content on a display includes receiving a digital representation of at least a portion of media content playing on the display, comparing the received digital representation to media content that was scheduled to play on the display from which the digital representation was captured and verifying the playback of the received digital representation if the received digital representation matches the compared media content. The process can further include soliciting a viewer of the display to capture a digital representation of at least a portion of the media content being presented on the display and to communicate the captured digital representation to an advertised location.

Abstract: A method and means for selectively interrupting HDMI CEC broadcast messages include the electrical connection of the connectors of a male HDMI connector with respective connections of a female HDMI connector to form a pass through connector with the exception of a CEC line, which is disconnected. The method and means are such that the CEC line can be controllably connected and disconnected via, for example, a controllable circuit board. The circuit board can be programmed to block selected CEC commands by controllably connecting and disconnecting a respective CEC line in response to a CEC command.
