Abstract: A wearable animal training apparatus including a casing having an inner wall, and an outer wall. The apparatus includes a flexible first wire disposed against a proximal surface between the inner wall and the outer wall of the casing, and a flexible second wire disposed against a distal surface between the inner wall and the outer wall of the casing. The apparatus also includes a power source having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and an electric motor. The first wire is connected to the positive terminal of the power source, and the second wire is connected to the negative terminal of the power source.

Abstract: Provided is a power-generating apparatus comprising a box having a cavity and a lid, one or more solar panels disposed on the box, and one or more battery packs disposed within the cavity, where the one or more solar panels are configured to charge the one or more battery packs. The apparatus may further comprise a turbine configured to charge the one or more battery packs.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of conducting a communication session between a first device and a second device. The method includes generating a first user interface (UI) for the communication session between the first device and the second device and transmitting the first UI to at least one of the first device and the second device. The method includes receiving a sub-user-interface (sub-UI) indicator and dynamically generating a sub-UI associated with the sub-UI indicator. The method includes transmitting the sub-UI to at least one of the first user device and the second user device and displaying the sub-UI within the first UI on at least one of the first user device and the second user device. The method includes receiving a sub-UI data from at least one of the first device and the second device and storing the sub-UI data.

Abstract: A method for broadcasting a user's location to vehicle operators using wireless communication makes use of a system that includes a portable beacon and multiple vehicles. The portable beacon is a mobile transmitter that broadcasts a desired message. Each of the vehicles is equipped with a wireless receiver and an alert device. The wireless receiver is capable of deciphering the broadcast from the portable beacon. The alert device is used to alert the operator of a vehicle that there is a nearby pedestrian. The method is initiated by prompting the user to activate the primary proximity alert message with the portable beacon. The portable beacon, then continuously broadcasts the alert message. The alert message is subsequently received by the wireless receiver. Finally, the alert message is output to the operator of a vehicle that is located within a predefined distance from the portable beacon.
