Abstract: A networked computer system provides various services for assisting users in locating, and establishing contact relationships with, other users. For example, in one embodiment, users can identify other users based on their affiliations with particular schools or other organizations. The system also provides a mechanism for a user to selectively establish contact relationships or connections with other users, and to grant permissions for such other users to view personal information of the user. The system may also be capable of detecting, and notifying a user of, an event in which the user and a contact of the user are concurrently in a common location.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for pipe joint fusion-welding and other applications, in which a hinged clamshell inductor apparatus is wound from a single contiguous length of Litz wire cable with turns of each half of the clamshell apparatus configured so that their individual magnetic fields are additive to induce uniform longitudinal current flow providing uniform circumferential heating in a carbon steel susceptor tube inserted within pipe ends to be joined.

The accessory system further includes a camera lens that is configured to attach to the camera lens mount and to optically align over the digital imaging sensor when attached to the camera lens mount.

Abstract: A personal watercraft is designed to be ridden in a prone position. The craft is generally shaped like a kayak, including a bow and a stern, and includes a shaped, recessed cavity within the boat to accommodate and conform to the riders body disposed in a prone position, so that the rider can propel and navigate the craft using his arms and hands. The recessed cavity is an ergonomically designed space for the rider's body to be cradled within the craft in a prone position, creating a stable and dynamic platform for water exploits, lowering the center of gravity, and allowing the rider to guide the craft through fast running water by leaning in a desired direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of integrating mobile medical data into a database centric analytical process, and clinical workflow. This includes a method comprising: integrating smartphone and digital camera data into a clinical database management system comprising a database association and a clinical workflow based on a per dictum, including clinical session and procedural data and metadata, and generally involving shared communication of text data, and photographic and video/audio data sets associated with a patient file through a secured workflow series.

Abstract: Water-dispersible nanoparticles are prepared by applying a coating of a multiply amphipathic dispersant to the surface of a hydrophobic nanoparticle comprised of a semiconductive or metallic material. The multiply amphipathic dispersant has two or more hydrophobic regions and two or more hydrophilic regions, and is typically polymeric. Preferred polymeric dispersants are comprised of (1) a hydrophobic backbone with hydrophilic branches, (2) a hydrophilic backbone with hydrophobic branches, or (3) a backbone that may be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, and substituted with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic branches. Monodisperse populations of water-dispersible nanoparticles are also provided, as are conjugates of the water-dispersible nanoparticles with affinity molecules such as peptides, oligonucleotides, and the like.

Abstract: A sexual aid device to provide increased sexual sensation in either heterosexual or homosexual intercourse characterized by a structure maintaining the male penis in pressure contact with the sensitive members of the female vagina or male anus.

Abstract: A femto cell service framework is employed for registration, activation, and provisioning of femtocell service. An account management service enables femtocell account creation, and registration thereof. Registration includes validation of wireless coverage for a location of operation of a femto AP, and validation of availability enhanced 911 (E911) service. As part of registration provisioning, record(s) are updated to indicate registration status. Connection of femto AP to a network interface triggers activation process; the femto AP delivers an activation request. A femto network validates registration of the connected femto AP and conducts a location tolerance check of a received actual location of the femto AP and a registered location. Upon tolerance validation, a cell identifier and radio frequency channel(s) are assigned to femto AP. When femto AP radiates wireless signal, network activation status indicators are provisioned. Handling of errors that arise during registration or activation is provided.
