A display device includes a biometric information value acquiring portion, a comparing portion, and a subject state determining portion. The biometric information value acquiring portion subsequently acquires a subject's biometric information value. The comparing portion compares a first biometric information value that is subsequently acquired by the biometric information value acquiring portion with a second biometric information value which is different from the first biometric information value that is subsequently acquired by the biometric information value acquiring portion. The subject state determining portion determines that the user could get a certain improvement owing to the treatment on the user on the basis of a comparison result by the comparing portion.

In an artificial surfing system for generating a standing wave, comprising a water circuit, in which a first wave generating device is arranged, which comprises a wave pool and a ramp arranged upstream of the wave pool, over which the water flows down into the wave pool, wherein the water circuit downstream of the wave pool of the first wave generating device comprises a water backflow, via which the water is made available to a pump with which the water can be conveyed from the backflow upwards to the first wave generating device, at least one further wave generating device is arranged in the backflow, to which the water coming from the first wave generating device flows.

A computer system processes electronic communications. A density and centrality of a group of users engaged in electronic communications is determined based on an analysis of a social network graph indicating connections of the users of the group. The electronic communications are analyzed and an affinity of the electronic communications to a constructive goal of a user of the group is determined based on a frequency of electronic communications pertaining to the constructive goal and the determined density and centrality. The electronic communications are modified to advance progress of the constructive goal in response to the affinity satisfying a threshold. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing electronic communications in substantially the same manner described above.

A smart block can include a plurality of displays and configurable magnet components to selectively attract or repel other smart blocks. The smart block can include proximity sensors to identify a surface of another smart block close to the smart block to determine if the smart blocks are correctly oriented based on an application or game associated with the operation of the smart blocks. A plurality of smart blocks can be configured to display a portion of a picture (as a puzzle), such that when the smart blocks are oriented correctly they collectively display the complete picture. The smart blocks can be used in conjunction with a smart mat that is configured to move the smart blocks in response to commands received from a remote computing device. The smart blocks and the smart mat can facilitate interactivity with other, remote users, such as between a caregiver and a child.

The present invention relates generally to a device and a method that maintains an individual's body temperature during exposure to cold conditions or cold water and, more specifically, to an insulative rescue cap that clearly provides instructions and teachings of how to correctly perform emergency medical procedures, namely CPR. The cap is contoured to the individual's head.

The application relates to a method and terminal for processing an electronic recipe, an electronic device. In the method, one presenting page is created for each recipe step of a target recipe, which facilitate a user to quickly locate a certain recipe step. Less content is shown on a single presenting page, which facilitates the user to quickly view operation content of a certain recipe step. Meanwhile, because the presenting page of each recipe step is configured with an interactive tool capable of being invoked by the user, and the interactive tool can guide the user to complete a corresponding recipe step, and as compared with a method in the prior art which requires manual and repeated memorizing or repeated viewing of a certain recipe step to complete cooking, the technical solutions of the application greatly improve cooking efficiency and user experience.

A computerized-method for identifying and utilizing effectiveness of agent handling multiple concurrent multi-channel interactions is provided herein. The computerized-method includes operating of a Multiple Multi-Channel Effectiveness (MME) module. The MME module includes: (a) operating an interaction module to retrieve one or more concurrent interactions of an agent from the data storage of interactions, according to a time range; (b) calculating an MME score for the agent based on metadata of the one or more concurrent interactions which defines the ability of the agent to handle multiple concurrent multi-channel interactions simultaneously; (c) storing the calculated MME score in the data storage of agents; and (d) sending the MME score to the one or more applications to take one or more follow-up actions based on the MME score.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for developing cognitive and behavioral metrics associated with a user. In some implementations, a system obtains data from a writing implement, the data indicative of a user performing a task by writing with the writing implement against a receiving device. The system extracts features from the obtained data. The system determines metrics that reflect characteristics of the user, the metrics that reflect cognitive characteristics of the user and metrics that reflect behavioral characteristics of the user. Based on the extracted features and the determined metrics, the system generates a user profile for the user. Based on the features indicating characteristics of the writing behavior of the user, the system modifies the generated user profile as a performance of the user changes over time. The system provides recommendations to improve the performance of the user.
