  • Publication number: 20250094603
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for non-intrusively associating encrypted supplemental content with web pages. The method involves creating user profiles for community-based content association, allowing users to create and manage supplemental content, and associating the content with specific web pages using URL, vision technology, and/or content recognition technologies. The system provides secure online transactions using smart contracts and blockchain technologies while delivering real-time notifications to users. Additionally, the platform offers personalized content recommendations, content moderation, and privacy controls for managing access to content. Guest access allows unregistered users to browse and view content before registration. The system ensures the integrity of the web page by preserving its original structure while enabling the non-intrusive display of supplemental content.

  • Publication number: 20250035019
    Abstract: The present invention introduces a groundbreaking technology for precise and real-time monitoring of engine/transmission oil, revolutionizing the automotive industry's maintenance practices. Utilizing an optional array of sensors, including Turbidity, Magnet Inductance, Conductivity, Permittivity, Chemiresistors, and ChemFETs, the system continuously assesses the oil's state, providing users with invaluable insights into its health and condition. By eliminating guesswork and manufacturer-recommended schedules, the invention empowers users to make informed decisions about oil changes, extending engine/transmission lifespan and optimizing operational lubricity. The technology's key benefits include improved gas mileage, cost savings on fuel, and enhanced protection against premature power train failure. The invention also offers a unique advantage by recording and graphing changes in oil lubricity between oil changes, aiding in the early detection of engine/transmission problems.

  • Patent number: 10575497
    Abstract: A method for training an animal includes the steps of recording, by a user, of a plurality of audio messages encouraging or commanding the animal to engage in, refrain from engaging in or cease engaging in a plurality of user-determined behaviors, storing the plurality of audio messages in a memory of a collar module to be worn by the animal, audibly broadcasting a user-selected audio message simultaneously with the user physically controlling the animal to engage in, refrain from engaging in or ceasing from engaging in the activity referenced by the user-selected audio message, sensing a location of the animal with a location detector, and triggering an audio broadcast from the collar module of a user-selected message particular to the behavior associated with the device and heard by the animal based on the location.

  • Patent number: 10306870
    Abstract: The invention is a pet training method that uses voice recordings and playback to teach, modify, reinforce or eliminate multiple, user determinable pet behaviors. The user manually records a multiplicity of individual messages in an electronic device attached to the pet that either encourage or discourage certain behaviors in the pet or soothe the pet's anxiety. Playback of the invention's recordings may be user-initiated by manual control or, in a later phase of the training method remotely triggered by proximity detection of one or more discrete location devices. The invention allows the user to control the initial training while providing the flexibility and consistency of an automated training reinforcement process. After the user-controlled initial training process is completed, location devices can be physically positioned anywhere a desired behavior requires modification or reinforcement.

  • Publication number: 20180160652
    Abstract: The invention is a programmable electronic system that uses voice recordings and playback to modify, reinforce or eliminate multiple, user determinable pet behaviors. The user manually records a multiplicity of individual messages in the pet collar part of the system that either encourage or discourage certain behaviors in the pet or soothe the pet's anxiety. Playback of the invention's various audio recordings may be user-initiated by manual control or remotely triggered by proximity detection of one or more discrete location devices. The invention allows the user to control the initial training while providing the flexibility and consistency of an automated training reinforcement process. After the user-controlled initial training process is completed, location devices can be physically positioned anywhere a desired behavior requires modification or reinforcement.
