Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing automated assistance for a user by receiving a user request for assistance and determining semantics of the user request and identifying at least one domain, at least one task, and at least one parameter for the user request. The systems and methods can include searching a semantic database on the Internet for the at least one matching domain, task, and parameter and responding to the user request.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for making a light segment by forming a sealed body having an interior chamber; creating a boiling enhancement surface positioned in a predetermined location on the interior chamber; filling the interior chamber with a liquid portion and thermally coupled to the liquid portion at all orientations of the light blade; and boiling the liquid portion with a light source located on the predetermined location on an exterior portion of the sealed body.
Abstract:
A method of automatically requesting assistance for a patient includes wearing a wireless device with one or more accelerometers on the patient to detect patient motion; determining a fall based on detected motions; and automatically requesting assistance for the patient if needed.
Abstract:
A method of method of automatically requesting assistance for a patient by verbally communicating with a user through a base unit; wearing a mobile device with a plurality of different sensors on the patient to detect patient motion, wherein the mobile device transmits data to the base unit; and determining if a fall has occurred and requesting help through the base unit without a user pressing a button to call for help.
Abstract:
A personal emergency system includes a motion sensor wearable by a human being to sense motion of the human being; a processor; wireless communications circuitry; computer code to match the acceleration signature with at least one of a plurality of stored acceleration signatures, wherein each stored acceleration signatures corresponds with one or more types of motion; and computer code to identify the type of motion of the object based on the matching of the acceleration signature. An optional positioning system can be included where the location of the user is determined based on times of arrival of signals.

A heart monitoring system for a person includes one or more wireless nodes; and a wearable appliance in communication with the one or more wireless nodes, the appliance monitoring vital signs.
Abstract:
A system, including apparatuses and methods, for paper production and distribution in a communication network environment with multi-party and multi-level production and distribution relationships. The system receives, from one or more communicatively connected paper purchaser computers, parameters representative of the total surface area and physical characteristics of paper products required for printing tasks. The system determines an estimated quantity of the paper products to order based at least in part on the received parameters. Then, the system displays the estimated quantity of the paper to order and communicates orders to production facilities for obtaining such quantity.
