Abstract: An improved interactive e-commerce system for a mobile phone or computer of a user that modifies at least one of labor and materials prices through a combination price quote (CPQ) request from at least one of one or more service providers and one or more goods providers. In this system, a CPQ module icon on the screen display is configured to connect to a CPQ module. The CPQ module selectively interacts with and modifies functionality of at least one electronic processing unit responsible for functionality of at least one of a screen display module, a location tracking module, and a central processing unit module to select and display only a selected number of one or more combination price quote (CPQ) selections on the mobile device based on responses by user to a pre-formulated questionnaire.

Abstract: A video processing unit configured to convert a video image to stimulation patterns for stimulating neural tissue in a subject's eye and comprising a power button, wherein the video processing unit is configured to be powered on after a first time interval upon activation of a power button, wherein the video processing unit is configured to be powered off after a second time interval upon activation of a power button.

Abstract: A visual prosthesis apparatus comprising: a video capture device for capturing a video image; a video processing unit associated with the video capture device, the video processing unit configured to convert the video image to stimulation patterns; and a retinal stimulation system configured to stimulate neural tissue in a subject's eye based on the stimulation patterns, wherein the video processing unit is configured to be powered on after a first time interval upon activation of a power button, wherein the video processing unit is configured to be powered off after a second time interval upon activation of a power button.

Abstract: A video processing unit configured to convert a video image to stimulation patterns for stimulating neural tissue in a subject's eye, the video processing unit comprising a video processor for converting a video image to a digital video stream; a memory for storing the digital video stream; and a video preprocessor data interface for forming stimulation patterns based on the stored digital video stream.
