Abstract: Techniques for controlling stateful context-based production of content. A system utilizing such techniques can include a stateful context-based user interaction management system and a stateful context-based interaction engagement device. A method utilizing such techniques can include selecting content to produce at a stateful context-based interaction engagement device according to contexts associated with user interactions with the stateful context-based interaction engagement device and causing the stateful context-based interaction engagement device to produce the selected content in response to the user interactions.

Abstract: A smart toy is provided. The smart toy includes a housing forming a zoomorphic shell for housing internal components. The smart toy also includes a microphone for receiving an audio signal from a child and a speaker for playing a responsive audio signal to the child. The smart toy further includes an actuator button and a microprocessor for establishing a voice call with a remote server when the actuator button is pressed. The microprocessor processes the audio signal received from the child and sends the audio signal to the remote server. The remote server processes the audio signal using a dialog engine and a knowledge database to generate the responsive audio signal which is tailored to the child and responsive to the audio signal. The remote server sends the responsive audio signal to the microprocessor to be played to the child.

Abstract: There is provided a resonator sensor useful for detecting polymorphisms and mutations in DNA. The resonator sensor has a capture molecule immobilised on its surface, the capture molecule being either a probe DNA containing a reference sequence, or a mismatch binding molecule, and being capable of forming a probe DNA/target DNA/mismatch binding molecule complex on the surface of the resonator. A method for detecting mutations in a target DNA, including single nucleotide polymorphisms, is also provided.

Abstract: There is provided a conjugated molecule that is useful as a conductive path in an electronic device. The conjugated molecule includes at least one p/n junction so as to provide a direction to electron flow and one end alligator clip group which allows for self-orientation of the molecule during assembly in a device, resulting in an asymmetric structure of the molecule. The conjugated molecule may be used in diodes, molecular switches, transistors, and in the manufacture of memory devices.
