A fully implantable nerve stimulation system includes an event-triggered, closed-loop control unit that detects physiological events from nerve signals and delivers stimulation pulses to a nerve to produce a desired physiological response. The stimulation system includes a low-noise, low-power nerve signal amplifier, accelerometers that detect position and a battery powered processor that selectively powers components in the system to detect physiological events and deliver stimulation pulses with a minimum of battery power.

A system and method for performing modeling, prediction, optimization, and control, including an enterprise wide framework for constructing modeling, optimization, and control solutions. The framework includes a plurality of base classes that may be used to create primitive software objects. These objects may then be combined to create optimization and / or control solutions. The distributed event-driven component architecture allows much greater flexibility and power in creating, deploying, and modifying modeling, optimization and control solutions. The system also includes various techniques for performing improved modeling, optimization, and control, as well as improved scheduling and control. For example, the system may include a combination of batch and continuous processing frameworks, and a unified hybrid modeling framework which allows encapsulation and composition of different model types, such as first principles models and empirical models. The system further includes an integrated process scheduling solution referred to as process coordinator that seamlessly incorporates the capabilities of advanced control and execution into a real time event triggered optimal scheduling solution.

A method for utilizing presentation slots to manage advertising and coupon presentation to mobile communication devices over a communication network is stored and executed as an application for use by network devices. The method includes sensing vehicle context and vehicle events, based on vehicle sensor data. Presentation slots, particular circumstances for which advertisements may be presented to a vehicle user, are configured. When a presentation slot is triggered through sensing of a vehicle context or vehicle event, the method identifies advertisements to be presented to the vehicle user, with the advertisements corresponding to configured presentation slots. The identified advertisements are presented to the vehicle user.

The present invention relates to a vehicle recorder system that is configured with a video camera, a light weight memory system, and a radio communications facility suitable for use in conjunction with an moving vehicle. An automobile equipped with such video recorder system that is used throughout a day of service provides a video record of unusual events which may occur from time-to-time. For example, events such as accidents, near-misses, and excessive speed, among others, trigger a system to preserve video images collected before and after the moment of the event. Replaying these images provides information regarding the cause and true nature of the event. These systems are particularly suitable for vehicle fleets, or other groups of vehicles that can communicate with a common system.

Methods and systems for defining and distributing information alerts are disclosed. A user is presented with a series of templates that allows the user to define events, information alerts to be triggered by the events, and intended recipients for the alerts. Intended recipients for the alerts are presented with templates that allow the individuals to input contact and schedule information for receiving the information alerts. A knowledge switch uses the event definitions and the contact and schedule information to detect events and distribute the alerts to the intended recipients when an event occurs.

A system for archive integrity management and related methods are disclosed. The invention includes one or more integrity manager applications, each of which monitor the integrity of an aspect of a data archive. Some integrity manager applications monitor the integrity of processes executed by the archive system, and other integrity manager applications monitor the integrity of communication paths in the archive system. A file input integrity manager application monitors the integrity of a plurality of processes associated with storing a new data file in the archive. A business content integrity manager application determines what documents are required for a transaction and monitors whether all of the required documents have been received by the archive system. Further, an event integrity manager application executes predetermined events triggered by characteristics of documents stored in the archive system and ensures that all events have been properly executed.

Interfaces for message delivery approaches are disclosed. The interface may include pages for administering accounts for senders, pages for administering message processing systems, and pages for viewing information about senders or message processing systems. In another aspect, automatic alert mechanisms are disclosed. The alert mechanisms send a message to one or more users or machines that have been registered to receive alerts. Alerts may be triggered by any event related to a sender, a message, or a message processing system or may be triggered by any other condition or event. In another aspect, techniques for automatically disabling senders are disclosed. The automatic disabling of a sender may be triggered by any event related to a sender, a message, or a message processing system or may be triggered by any other condition or event.

Methods and systems for defining and distributing information alerts include presenting a user with a series of templates that allows the user to define security events, information alerts to be triggered by the events, and intended recipients for the alerts. Intended recipients for the alerts are presented with templates that allow the individuals to input contact and schedule information for receiving the information alerts. A knowledge switch uses the event definitions and the contact and schedule information to detect events and distribute the information alerts to the intended recipients when an event occurs. The information alerts include directives that instruct intended recipients regarding action to be taken in response to a security event.

A method and device for gaming, in which a primary game is played toward a winning outcome, but including a bonus event triggered by a particular outcome or outcomes. The bonus event is characterized by allowance of play against the device to earn awards, the magnitude of such awards to be determined by the relative final successes based on simulated competition between the player and the device.
