Abstract: Systems and methods for product imaging and provisioning include a mobile application (app) installed on an imaging device, where the mobile app activates the imaging device to generate an image of a product tag associated with an unavailable product at a first location. The mobile app determines, based on the image, a product indicator associated with the unavailable product. A provisioning app, executing on a remote device, receives the product indicator associated with the unavailable product. The provisioning app also receives a user indicator associated with a first user and executes one or more product provisioning rules that determine, based on a product availability database and the user indicator, an availability result. The availability result indicates whether the unavailable product will be available to the first user. The provisioning app is further operable to send the availability result to the imaging device for presentation by the imaging device.

Abstract: An protein-polysaccharide macromolecular complex article of manufacture containing encapsulated ethyl alcohol and/or other spirits serving as an entertaining and novel non-beverage method of consuming alcohol. The article of manufacture encapsulates ethyl alcohol and/or other spirits in the amorphous regions of the complex macromolecular structure releasing it only upon chewing and exposure to the environment of the oral cavity. The article of manufacture is stable and capable of retaining shape and form for extended periods of time at ambient temperature allowing for relatively low-cost commercial manufacture and distribution.

Abstract: A consumable macromolecular article of manufacture formed by the complexation of protein and polysaccharide polymers stabilized by chemical crosslinking and subsequently cast and molded into macrocapsules of at least 1 mm in diameter. The resulting macrocapsules are a highly versatile delivery product capable of encapsulating and stably retaining a wide range of active ingredients, both liquids and solids, in the amorphous regions of the complexed and crosslinked macromolecular structure, and releasing such active ingredients only upon chewing and/or upon exposure to the digestive environment. Dissimilar layers may be utilized to combine multiple active ingredients and/or control the active ingredient release profiles. The article of manufacture is thermally stable and structurally robust providing relatively low-cost commercial manufacture and distribution and exhibiting a texture and consistency that is organolepically pleasing.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein facilitate the use of the primary work queue within an information management application as a centralized access point for creating and viewing multiple types of new draft items such as a note, to-do, or message item. An information management application can receive a new item request through its user interface and initiate a new draft item in response to the new item request. A view of new draft item can then be surfaced in a primary work queue of the information management application. The item type of the new draft item may be different than other item types in the primary work queue.

Abstract: An operating system that includes a time user interface module that presents a time user interface on a display. The time user interface allowing a change in focal date and displays external time-associated data as instructed. An application program interface communicatively couples one or more non-native programs with the time user interface module, to thereby allow the one or more non-native programs to provide time-associated data and corresponding presentation instructions to the time user interface module. This causes the time user interface to display the external time-associated data sourced from a non-native program responsive to instructions from the non-native program.
