In an embodiment, the system comprises a triggering application installed on a mobile phone of a user (potential buyer), a media gateway server which provides context-aware advertising and through which potential buyers may be connected directly with sales representatives of a seller, and an interaction control server which controls the messaging between the mobile device and the media gateway server.

Abstract: Methods and devices are described for proactively managing an individual's mental health through the delivery of customized digital wellness content to a user based on their emotional state. In various examples, the present disclosure describes a method at a device. A user input is obtained and mapped to a mood parameter representative of the user's emotional state. Recommended digital wellness content is displayed on a user interface enabling the user to engage with the recommended digital wellness content, based on the mood parameter, and optionally based on the user's historical interaction with digital wellness content. In examples, engaging with the recommended digital wellness content may assist the user in reaching a state of emotional balance and promote wellness.

Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle comprising: (a) a rear camera configured to be secured to an outer surface of a tailgate of the vehicle to provide imaging of a rear area behind the vehicle when the tailgate is in a closed position; (b) an alternate camera configured to be secured to the vehicle to provide imaging of the rear area of the vehicle when the tailgate is in an open position; and (c) a tilt switch configured to determine a position of the tailgate and signal to activate the rear camera or the alternate camera based on the position of the tailgate.

Abstract: Fluorescence imaging system designs are described that provide larger fields-of-view, increased spatial resolution, improved modulation transfer and image quality, higher spatial sampling frequency, faster transitions between image capture when repositioning the sample plane to capture a series of images (e.g., of different fields-of-view), and improved imaging system duty cycle, and thus enable higher throughput image acquisition and analysis for genomics and other imaging applications.

Abstract: An antibiotic stewardship program system and method for tracking antibiotic use, in particular, antibiotics in medical facilities. The system uses human and artificial intelligence algorithms to enable the implementation of United States mandated antibiotic management, control, and reporting requirements.

Abstract: A portable lock mechanism designed to fortify the security of windows, sliding entry doors and hinged doors. The device comprises a base support with a threaded aperture and a mounting section integrates a rotatable linking arm, providing a foundation for the suction cup mounting base component. This suction cup mounting base forms a pivotal part of the locking mechanism. A rotatable lever concentric to the suction cup mounting pad and linking arm facilitates easy attachment to window panes or the flat surface of a door. A screw clamp with a threaded shank and adjustable pad ensures adaptability to various offset thicknesses, providing a universal application. Notably, the suction cup, when secured to a window pane or door panel, provides a robust locking system.

Abstract: Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters associated with map information in an efficient manner. Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information to identify clusters of requested data points for display, based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Abstract: A process for enabling an emergency caller to selectively access information about incident-response resources. In operation, a public-safety answering point receives an emergency communication from a caller device associated with the emergency caller. The answering point obtains incident information relating to occurrence of an incident from the emergency communication and assigns one or more incident-response resources for responding to the incident. The answering point then verifies authenticity of the emergency caller and enables the emergency caller to selectively access information indicating a current status of the one or more of the incident-response resources as a function of verifying the authenticity of the emergency caller.

Abstract: An apparatus for constructing a charging station includes a first wall, a second wall, a first beam, a grid, a bracket, a first conduit, a first leg assembly, and a second leg assembly. The second wall is opposite the first wall. The first beam is coupled to the first wall and the second wall. The grid is supported by the first beam. The bracket is coupled to the first beam and defines a first aperture. The first conduit extends through the first aperture. The first leg assembly is coupled to the first wall or the grid and includes a first leg and a first foot translatably-coupled to the first leg. The second leg assembly is coupled to the second wall or the grid.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes a housing, an elongated heating element, a first electrical connector, and a second electrical connector. The housing can define a fluid channel extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet. The elongated heating element can be disposed within the fluid channel. The first electrical connector can be electrically coupled to a first portion of the elongated heating element and the second electrical connector can be electrically coupled to a second portion of the elongated heating element. Energy can be provided from a power source to the elongated heating element via one of the first electrical connector or the second electrical connector to increase the temperature of the elongated heating element.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for remediating a condition present in a patient's foot. In some implementations, a resection guide includes a bone engagement feature configured to engage at least a portion of at least one foot bone to position the resection guide. The bone engagement feature may be least partially determined based on a model of the patient's foot, which is defined based on medical imaging of the patient's foot. The resection guide further includes a resection feature that extends through the resection guide from a superior side of the resection guide to an inferior side. The resection feature is configured to guide a cutting tool to form a first osteotomy in a first bone along a first trajectory. Additionally, the resection guide includes a first bone attachment feature configured to engage the first bone and a second bone attachment feature configured to engage a second bone.
