A suture implant device includes: a splice; a fixed loop having a first fixed end at a first end of the splice and a second fixed end at the first end of the splice; an adjustable loop having a fixed end at the second end of the splice and an adjustable end at the second end of the splice, the adjustable end passes through the at least a portion of the splice so that a tensioning strand extending from the adjustable loop protrudes from the splice; a needle on the fixed loop; and a member on the adjustable loop. A method of cinching a first tissue to a second tissue includes: attaching the suture implant to a first tissue; attaching the suture implant to a second tissue; and cinching the first tissue to the second tissue without the suture implant sliding against or through the first tissue.

A method and apparatus for echoing media via a mobile device are disclosed herein. According to an embodiment, the method can include displaying automatically to a user, on the mobile device, a list of one or more respective identifiers of one or more other users experiencing respective media within a selectable geographic area. The user is then allowed to select whether to play one or more of the respective media on the mobile device, and can connect with the one or more other users via a social networking site. As a result, the user can network with previously unknown people, based on a common taste in music or other media, for example, as well as a geographic location.

Handheld location based games are provided in which a user's physical location correlates to the virtual location of a virtual character on a virtual playfield.Augmented Reality (AR) systems are provided in which video game indicia are overlaid onto a user's physical environment. A landscape detector is provided that may obtain information about the user's landscape, in addition to the user's location, in order to provide overlaying information to an AR head-mounted display and control information to non-user controlled video game characters.

A portable device (e.g., a wireless device such as a cell phone) is provided with a flexible keyboard and a flexible display screen. Such flexible components may be stored in the housing of the portable device when not in use. The flexible display screen and flexible keyboard may be expanded from the housing when the flexible components are utilized by a user. Non-flexible display and input components may be provided on the exterior of the portable device such that the device may be used, in some form, while the flexible components are stored. In one embodiment, a portion of the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) may be utilized when the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) is stored in said first housing.

The present invention provides a device and method for classifying a user using pattern recognition of an input device. A series of the keystroke objects are received via the user input interface. A typing signature is determined for the series of keystroke objects using the processor by analyzing the key attributes of the series of keystroke objects using a pattern recognition algorithm. The typing signature is compared to one or more user typing signatures stored in the memory using the processor. The user is classified based on whether or not the typing signature is statistically similar to one of the stored typing signatures.

A method and apparatus for applying a rotational transform to a portion of a three-dimensional representation of an appliance for a living body is disclosed. The representation is defined by an input plurality of coordinates stored in a processor circuit memory, the input plurality of coordinates representing a general shape of the appliance. The method involves applying the rotational transform to the portion of the representation of the appliance within the transform volume to produce an output plurality of coordinates representing a modified shape of the appliance such that the general shape of portions of the appliance outside the transform volume remain un-modified by the rotational transform, and storing the output plurality of coordinates in the processor circuit memory.

A method includes outputting a first graphical representation corresponding to a first group of one or more audio files and a second graphical representation corresponding to a second group of one or more audio files, wherein the first group is defined based on a respective first metadata attribute value for each audio file from the first group; receiving a user selection of the first graphical representation; and, in response to the user selection, moving the second graphical representation, thereby defining an expansion area, and outputting, within the expansion area, at least one additional graphical representation corresponding to a subgroup of the first group, wherein the subgroup is defined based at least in part on a respective second metadata attribute value for each audio file from the subgroup.

A payment card (e.g., credit and/or debit card) is provided with a magnetic emulator operable to act as a magnetic stripe read-head detector and a data transmitter. A multiple layer flexible PCB may be fabricated to include multiple magnetic emulators. An emulator may include a coil that includes magnetic, ferromagnetic, or ferromagnetic, material in the coil's interior. Coils may be associated with zones. As a read-head is detected to move from zone-to-zone, coils may be activated to transmit information in those zones.

Systems and methods for providing a full fail-safe capability in signal transmission networks are disclosed. For example, a system for providing a full fail-safe capability in signal transmission networks includes at least a first electronic circuit to transmit and receive signals or data, at least one driver unit coupled to the at least a first electronic circuit, and at least one receiver unit coupled to the at least a first electronic circuit and the at least one driver unit. The at least one receiver unit includes at least one offset signal generating unit, a signal comparing unit, and a switching unit to couple an offset signal from the at least one offset signal generating unit to an input of the signal comparing unit.

Techniques for providing customer assistance with real-time feedback are presented herein. A request for customer assistance is generated by a customer using an application executing on a handheld mobile smart device. The request is transmitted to an employee using another handheld mobile smart device. The request is accepted by the employee and a response is transmitted back to the customer. The response includes the employee's expected arrival time at the customer's location and a floor plan map that depicts the progress of the employee as the employee travels to the customer's location.
