20140100877 | HEALTHCARE FACILITY NAVIGATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - Techniques are disclosed for helping users navigate healthcare facilities. In one embodiment, a patient at a healthcare facility downloads a healthcare support application onto his or her handheld device. The healthcare support application may include content for orienting the patient and helping the patient to make informed decisions, as well content which allows the patient to provide feedback. Additional, personalized content may be provided by a surveillance interface based on a status of the patient. The surveillance interface may include a listening application which detects changes in electronic health records (EHR) related to the patient, and a surveillance application which cross-matches the changes to relevant content, organizes and/or generates personalized content from the relevant content, and pushes the personalized content to the healthcare support application. | 04-10-2014 |

20140210374 | LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PWM DUTY CYCLE CONTROL - A lighting system and method are provided for controlling a PWM duty cycle. The lighting system is provided with at least one device that is configured to emit light in response to receiving electrical power. The lighting system includes a power circuit and a feedback circuit. The power circuit is configured to selectively supply power to the device at a duty cycle corresponding to a first mode and a second mode, wherein the duty cycle of the first mode is less than 10% of the duty cycle of the second mode. The feedback circuit is configured to provide a feedback signal that is indicative of the energy provided to the device. The power circuit is further configured to disable power to the device during the first mode in response to the energy being greater than a threshold energy value, thereby adjusting the duty cycle. | 07-31-2014 |

20110023896 | FILTERED CIGARETTE INCORPORATING A BREAKABLE CAPSULE - A filtered cigarette possesses at least one breakable capsule in its filter element. The filter element can possess a central cavity extending from the cigarette tobacco rod towards the middle of the filter element. The central cavity may be defined by an inner filter portion. The inner filter portion can be surrounded by an outer filter portion comprised of filter tow material that is generally permeable to the smoke generated by the cigarette. At least one breakable capsule is disposed in the central cavity of the filter element. The breakable capsules are spherical in shape, and are composed of a gelatin outer shell that encloses a payload of triglycerides and flavoring agents. The breakable capsules are adapted to rupture in response to pressure applied by the smoker to the outside region of the filter element. | 02-03-2011 |
