An integrated medication management and compliance system for enabling a care provider to remotely manage and deliver individual doses of therapeutic products to a patient, in a non-sequential fashion. The system includes delivery apparatus remotely located from the care provider, wherein the apparatus stores a plurality of sealed unit dose packages that are delivered to a patient at a scheduled dosing time. The delivery apparatus is coupled to a control facility and to a computer terminal of the care provider by way of a secure communications network. The system enables the patient's medication regimen to be remotely tailored in real-time to accommodate fluid medical conditions.

A method and system for controlling electric power consumption using a computer to create a forecast and then controlling devices that use power based on the forecast. An automatic reader device is used to gather power consumption data from a point of utility service. The power consumption data is then provided to a computer. The computer is used to create a forecast of energy use for instantaneous demand and time-based usage. The computer then provides alerts based on the forecast for the manual or automatic control of devices that consume electricity. The system may be managed locally or remotely by a computer, PDA, cell phone or other network enabled device.

Services for a vehicle or fleet of vehicles can be ordered, renewed, modified, managed, configured, and/or cancelled through a common interface. Services may be managed remotely from outside the vehicle as well as from within the vehicle. For example, the driver of a vehicle could access a secure web site from their home computer to subscribe for satellite radio services, cancel a subscription for global positioning information, renew a contract for broadband Internet access in the vehicle, and modify a relationship for remote vehicle security services. Each service that is registered with the system can possess a different status. Such functionality allows devices necessary for various services to be pre-installed in the vehicle. The service management system can also store user profiles that reflect user preferences and patterns of behavior with respect to how the services are performed and configured.

The present disclosure presents methods, systems, and assemblies for the near real-time remote monitoring of aquatic environments, particularly domestic aquatic environments such as aquariums and backyard ponds, using remotely located computer communication systems and control assemblies and software connected by a standard Internet connection and capable of bilateral transfer and interpretation of status files. Also presented herein are business processes of remotely managing, monitoring, and/or controlling the environmental parameters of aquatic environments using electronic control systems installed in the aquarium in combination with a remotely located control system, wherein the two systems are in communication through an Internet connection.

A versatile Citizen Alert System is connected to Internet and private databases to acquire real time information useful for subscribed users. During registration, users are required to provide multimedia contact information, including telephone numbers, cell phone numbers, pager information, Blackberry or PDA information, e-mail address, and physical address, along with user defined sensitivities to alerts, including sensitivities to natural emergencies, man made emergencies and professional requirements. The system has a local or remote administrator that constantly analyzes the acquired data in accordance with requirements of each and every user, orders the data to generate alert information specific to a user, and communicates the alert to each and every user using multiple delivery platforms. A user specific, secured web page providing details of alert and hyperlinks constitutes an additional information source.

File selection techniques that can handle overlapping module contexts provide flexible and reversible backup, restore, migration, deployment and synchronization operations. Both remote (administrative) control and local (user) control of the file selection are provided. Application and configuration specific templates are provided to a user from the remote administrator for further customization by selecting or de-selecting configurations, applications and/or individual files or configuration entries. The templates may be controlled geographically by the IP address or identity associated with the user. A user's interaction with the customization is saved and the order of changes is maintained, so that when the templates are updated, the user's customizations can be re-applied. The administrator may override user settings based on rules, which may also be geographically determined. The file selection may also be altered based on media type and location, e.g., local backup vs. server backup.

A system and method for remotely managing a security area such as a safe deposit box repository providing ready access by a community of users includes one or more identity-confirmation steps, followed by granting permission to enter a first secure area. Within the first secure area, further identity-confirmation steps are performed before access to a second secure area is remotely authorized. Inside the second secure area, the user unlocks one mechanism which secures his specific safe deposit box and, if implemented in the particular vault, a second portion is remotely unlocked, permitting the user access to his box. Egress involves replacing the user's safe deposit box into the assigned location, then exiting to the first secure area. After the door between the second and first secure areas closes, exit from the first secure area is permitted. Identity-confirmation steps may include cards, PINs, biometric tests, visual identification, or other suitable steps.
