Abstract:
An aggregation apparatus including: a computer, an output device, a display controlled by the computer, and networking hardware connecting the computer to a network, the computer programmed so that the aggregation apparatus: communicates with at least one computer via the Internet to obtain peer-to-peer information corresponding to real time data shared by at least one other computer; processes the peer-to-peer information to produce an aggregation; and then renders the aggregation as output; and then presents at least some of the aggregation and at least one of at least some of the information in a customizable user interface, at least some of the aggregation in association with an automatically generated score that represents a level of communication activity, and at least some of the information in a user interface which includes an automatically generated list of contacts and their associated recent activity.
Abstract:
An aggregation system, process, article, and necessary intermediates, illustratively the system includes: a device capable of both networking and executing software programs, the device programmed from memory so that the aggregation apparatus: connects to a plurality of servers via the Internet, and authenticates itself with each of the plurality of servers, and retrieves information from each of the plurality of servers, and parses the information from each of the plurality of servers so as to produce an aggregation of parsed information, and renders the aggregation as output.
Abstract:
Machine, method for use and method for making, and corresponding products produced thereby, as well as data structures, computer-readable media tangibly embodying program instructions, manufactures, and necessary intermediates of the foregoing, each pertaining to digital aspects of a computerized aggregation system. The system can include a user computer system interposed between a segment of a network allowing communication between the user computer system and at least one server system, and other segments allowing communication between the user computer system and a plurality of third party server systems. The one server system enables the user computer system to access the plurality of other servers. The access permits forming an aggregation of information obtained from the third party server systems.

Abstract:
A modular external defibrillator system in embodiments of the teachings may include one or more of the following features: a base containing a defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock to a patient, (b) one or more pods each connectable to a patient via patient lead cables to collect at least one patient vital sign, the pods operable at a distance from the base, (c) a wireless communications link between the base and a selected one of the two or more pods to carry the at least one vital sign from the selected pod to the base, the selection being based on which pod is associated with the base.
Abstract:
A nebulizer (10) has a nebulizer top (12) defining an aerosol outlet (66) and a reservoir bottom (14) defining a liquid reservoir (21) and a threaded connection (38,68) between the reservoir bottom (14) and the nebulizer top (12). A nebulizing structure (24,46) within the nebulizer provides an aerosol to the aerosol outlet (66). A continuous flow adaptor (16) for the nebulizer has a side wall (90) with first and second open ends (94,100) defining a spacer interior. An orifice (116) in the side wall (90) of the adaptor (16) allows for fluid communication with the adaptor (16) interior from outside of the adaptor (16). A luer connector (118) is provided on the side wall (90) of the adaptor (16) for connecting the orifice (116) in fluid tight communication with a fluid supply. The adaptor (16) includes threads (92,98) proximate the first and second open ends (24,100) for cooperatively engaging the threaded portions (38,68) of the reservoir top (12) and reservoir bottom (14).
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to control of consumption of content in an appliance. The content can include linear programming and non-linear assets. Such control can permit (i) changing a channel in the appliance (e.g., a CPE without upstream functionality) and thus selecting a linear-programming asset, a non-linear asset, and so forth, and (ii) controlling consumption of such assets. In one aspect, a device with upstream network connectivity can control the consumption of media in the appliance. The device can leverage data management and control functionality of a service provider network to acquire information related to assets available for consumption and to transmit asset requests to the service provider network, which can transmit content and signaling to the appliance in accordance at least in part with the asset request, thus controlling media consumption in the appliance.
Abstract:
Apparatus, method, and manufacture, illustratively the aggregation apparatus connects to a sites on the Internet, authenticates itself with the sites, and facilitates at least one of: retrieving user-selected information from the sites, parsing the user-selected information from the sites to produce an aggregation, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output; retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, and user-selectedly filtering the parsed information in producing an aggregation of the parsed information in producing an aggregation, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output; and retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, producing an aggregation of the parsed information so as to produce an aggregation of the parsed information, and user-selectedly rendering the aggregation as the output. The rendering can include supplying content from one of the sites to another of the sites.
