  • Publication number: 20240149139
    Abstract: A scorecard with a hole for a writing instrument for use in the game of golf is described herein. The scorecard may have a first fold along a midline of the scorecard along with a second fold at a top edge of the first fold. This second fold may be created by folding down the top edge of the first fold to make a v-shape. The scorecard may further have a hole in the middle of the v-shape fold. This hole may be used to secure a writing instrument so that it may remain inside the folded scorecard during golf play, allowing for better handling and less interference with a golfer's game during a round of golf.

  • Patent number: 11972771
    Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring radio channels and automatically providing selective notifications through a network that messages containing useful information, transmitted in the form of voice content, have been received. Keywords are compared with textual data transcribed from voice messages receive on a radio channel. The textual data and the keywords are compared, and upon identifying a correlation therebetween, a notification is automatically generated that indicates receipt of a given message, the existence of the correlation with the keywords, and an identity of the channel, so that client terminals can receive the message and also receive subsequent or related messages.

  • Patent number: 11679208
    Abstract: Systems and methods encourage users to rotate injection sites and avoid lipodystrophy. Sleeves and/or lost-tooth gear dials and/or microswitches in or on injection pens or their caps, on vials, and on other portable devices manually adjust an indicator before or after an injection to show a current or next injection site in accordance with a site rotation plan. Injected medicine packaging and related printed indicia encourage site rotation. Optical devices employing optical mouse or projection technology help locate and/or distribute injection sites within a body area. A mobile phone app tracks injections and locations to select next injection site, and can use imaging to locate a target injection site and optionally diagnose lipodystrophic conditions and record them. Tactile and print media educational tools are presented to help users palpate and identify lipos in body areas having injection sites.
