Abstract:
This provides for controlling mobile device functions and features. For example, it limits or disables the use of some of mobile device features which could cause distraction to the user, when the user is engaged in another activity. In an example, it enables other mobile device features based on occurrence of events related to the user or environment. Another example addresses controlling the mobile device features, such as SMS, while the user is in a vehicle or driving. Another example restricts the ability of the driver of a vehicle to text, while the vehicle is in motion, by automatically disabling the texting ability of mobile device within and around the perimeter of the driver's seat. Other variations, examples, improvements, detection mechanisms, models, techniques, calculations, verification mechanisms, and features are also described in details.

Abstract:
The solar energy and solar farms are used to generate energy and reduce dependence on oil (or for environmental purposes). The maintenance, operation, optimization, and repairs in big farms become very difficult, expensive, and inefficient, using human technicians. Thus, here, we teach using the robots with various functions and components, in various settings, for various purposes, to improve operations in big (or hard-to-access) farms, to automate, save money, reduce human mistakes, increase efficiency, or scale the solutions to very large scales or areas, e.g., for repair, operation, calibration, testing, maintenance, adjustment, cleaning, improving the efficiency, and tracking the Sun.

Abstract:
One example of our system makes it easier to bring the wind turbines to the residential and densely populated areas. The systems can be cascaded together to supply a bigger population or area. Since most of the system is hidden, it looks better for appearance of the city/houses. It has less of noise problem near houses, and less bird and bat mortality rates, with less radar interferences, less maintenance worker hazard, and less shipping/installation cost. This technology addresses e.g. Energy and Power Management Systems for harvesting wind energy by wind-catcher tower and diffuser augmented wind turbines. For example, we discuss the placement of diffusers at the intake of the wind turbines, inside a wind-catcher tower, to significantly increase the efficiency of the wind energy capture, plus the modular design of the wind-catcher tower. Various designs for the system and components are presented here.
