A method for identifying and providing a composition or digital-work to a user. The user may explicitly and/or implicitly indicate an interest in a composition that is discovered during everyday activities. The “interesting” composition and/or information associated with the composition may be emanating from an external source (e.g., background music in a restaurant) or may be encountered while using an interactive device (e.g., surfing the web); or information (e.g., a magazine article or advertisement) about/associated with a composition may be encountered by the user. A portion of the “interesting” composition and/or information about/associated with the “interesting” composition may be captured and the composition identified. A composition or composition-highlight related to the identified-composition may be provided one or more times; within a customized sequence of compositions that is generated and/or adapted for each user. The provided-composition may be added to the user's favorites or library. Usage-rights for the provided-composition may be acquired for the user. The composition may be any type of digital-work including music, sound, text, image, video or other media. In some cases, the composition may be an advertisement for a product or service.

The invention relates to a medical device and method for treating phimosis. The invention allows for effective, long treatment sessions without interrupting the patient's everyday activities.

A compact, portable, lightweight, easily transportable leg press exercise apparatus to simulate both exercise and the daily activity of sitting in a microgravity environment. The exercise portion of the apparatus creates stress on the lower extremities by supplying a variable resistance to a reciprocating foot pedal by way of a coil spring and damper system acting through a four-bar linkage. The chair is adjustable in angle to fit each user and to simulate a force that is two-thirds of body weight. By combining resistance exercise and lower body negative pressure with the LBNP leg press exercise apparatus, the users experience one or more times body weight (BW) in stress on their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems. By achieving one times BW or greater (artificial gravity) during exercise and two-thirds BW during sitting, the gap between the precondition and post condition syndrome will become smaller.

An air conditioner is disclosed. Herein, the air conditioner can maintain the ambient air of a specific space (or area) to a pleasant state by adequately adjusting the temperature, humidity, and air current distribution within the corresponding space to allow people to pleasantly carry out their everyday activities. Since unwanted insects can be repelled or eliminated by using ultrasonic waves that do not contaminate the indoor air, the air conditioner can protect the human body from unwanted insects or pests while maintaining the air within the indoor space to a clean state. Also, carbon dioxide and specific light rays preferred by mosquitoes are used to attract unwanted insects into the main body, thereby eliminating the attracted insects by using ultrasonic waves. Thus, unwanted insects and, more particularly, mosquitoes existing in the room that is to be air-conditioned may be quickly eliminated.

A state of progression in an individual of a disease or treatment having motion symptoms is determined. A time series of accelerometer data is obtained from an accelerometer worn on an extremity of the person, over an extended period during everyday activities of the person. The accelerometer data is processed to produce a plurality of measures of kinetic state of the individual at a respective plurality of times throughout the extended period, each measure of kinetic state comprising at least one of: a measure for bradykinesia, and a measure for dyskinesia. A measure of dispersion of the measures of kinetic state is determined. An output is generated, indicating that motion symptoms are at an initial stage if the measure of dispersion is less than a threshold, or indicating that motion symptoms are at an advanced stage if the measure of dispersion is greater than the threshold.

A multifunction device for people with limited mobility allows a person to perform a variety of everyday activities with greater ease using a single device.

A double sided adhesive eye patch, bearing a new or old outdated corrective lens, is placed over the eye of the participant on the singles scene such as in nightclubs or while bathing on beaches, and the wearer can thus see clearly, or fairly clearly if an outdated old corrective lens was used. During normal everyday activities, such a patch would have a ridiculous appearance, but when used in socializing environments they become like small carnival masks and attract attention, which is desired for many folks in these environments. Messages can be affixed that can act as conversation pieces to help people meet each other. If desired, two patches can cover both eyes to form a pair of “crazy” spectacles. Unlike conventional eyewear with temples or straps, they are harder to dislodge by accident from the face of the wearer during swimming and dancing, and are cheap and easily replaceable.
