US12080432B1	Plasma metabolome as a predictor of biological aging Chronological age is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality, however it is unable to account for heterogeneity in the decline of physiological function and health with advancing age. Several attempts have been made to instead define a “biological age” using multiple physiological parameters in order to account for variation in the trajectory of human aging; however, these methods require technical expertise and are likely too time-intensive and costly to be implemented into clinical practice. Accordingly, a metabolomic signature of biological aging was developed that can predict changes in physiological function with the convenience of a blood sample. A weighted model of biological age was generated based on multiple clinical and physiological measures in a large group of healthy adults and was then applied to a cohort of healthy older adults who were tracked longitudinally over a 5-10 year timeframe. Plasma metabolomic signatures were identified that were associated with biological age, including some that could predict whether individuals would age at a faster or slower rate. These results not only have clinical implications by providing a simple blood-based assay of biological aging, but also provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying human healthspan.

US12079459B2	Hyper-swarm method and system for collaborative forecasting Systems and methods for amplifying the intelligence of networked human populations, maximizing the accuracy of collaborative forecasts and group insights. This includes systems and methods for sending and presenting a forecasting query for a future event to a plurality of participants, each using a networked computing device, the forecasting query describing a future event to be collaboratively predicted by the population of human participants. An initial forecast response is collected from each participant and analyzed by a central server. A plurality of unique overlapping subsets of responses are determined by the server. Unique overlapping subsets of unique initial forecast responses are then displayed, at substantially the same time, on each computing device. A second forecast response is collected from each participant and a final forecast is determined.
US12079457B2	Methods, devices, and media for scaling smart watch GUI based on initial stroke position Methods, devices, and processor-readable media for scaling up graphical user interface (GUI) elements on a smart watch touchscreen based on the initial position of a stroke gesture, thereby facilitating selection, by a user, of a target GUI element. The user only needs to perform one stroke action to select the desired target. During the procedure, GUI elements of the main screen are scaled up to make target selection easier, and the GUI elements are automatically reset to their original size when the procedure is complete. To achieve this result, a “stroke with initial position” gesture is used to select a target.
US12079456B2	Systems and methods for providing a tagging interface for external content Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for providing a graphical user interface for tagging external content. In accordance with some embodiments, a method is provided for tagging content external to a database system. The method comprises accessing the external content of an electronic device. The method may comprise enhancing the web browser by providing a tagging interface for tagging at least a portion of the external content. The method may further comprise receiving created tag associated with a tagged portion of the external document content, and exporting the external content and the received tag to the database system. The tagging interface can also provide an option to export the created tag to an internal database system.
US12079453B2	Device, system, and method for electronic book enhancement Disclosed are a method, a device, a system, and/or manufacture of electronic book enhancement. In one embodiment, a device includes a housing, a book coupler to secure a book to the housing, a page detection sensor generating a page signal usable to determine an open page of the book, a computer processor, a computer readable memory, and an audio output device. The computer readable memory stores an audio dataset including one or more page UIDs, one or more associated audio files, and an audio routine that includes computer readable instructions that when executed receive the page signal from the page detection sensor, determine a page UID for the open page, query the audio dataset for the audio file associated with the page UID, and generate an audio signal of the audio file on the audio output device to enhance a reading experience of the book based on the open page.
US12079451B2	Digital jukebox device with improved karaoke-related user interfaces, and associated methods Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, certain exemplary embodiments relate to jukebox systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features along with karaoke jukebox and/or photobooth features. A combined karaoke/photobooth/jukebox may enable more integrated performance-like experiences in an in-home or out-of-home location or venue. By leveraging vast audio media libraries, trusted rights-respecting network infrastructure, and on-site image/video capturing from integrated recorders and/or remote portable devices, a more sociable experience may be created for karaoke jukebox patrons, e.g., where custom content can be generated and shared in a safe and legally appropriate manner.
US12079449B2	Dynamically updating user interfaces from simulation data Systems and methods for dynamically updating user interfaces are disclosed. A system can identify a set of samples of a joint-probability distribution of a plurality of conditional events to occur during a live event, and provide a user interface for presentation at a computing device with user interface elements each indicating a respective conditional event. The system can receive a first selection of a first conditional event from the computing device, and dynamically generate, based on the set of samples and responsive to the first selection, a respective probability value for a combined selection of conditional events including the first conditional event and each other conditional event. The system can provide instructions to update the user interface to include a respective indicator corresponding to the respective probability value for each combined selection.
US12079448B2	User interface module for a building control system A building control system includes a building controller and a user interface device operatively coupled to the building controller. The building controller is wall mountable and includes a plurality of ports for controlling one or more points that are associated with one or more plants of a building. The building controller controls the one or more points in accordance with one or more programmable point control values that are associated with one or more points. The user interface device provides a user interface for operating the building controller and is configured to display a plurality of menu screens on a display that allow a user to view one or more of the points, change the programmable control value for one or more of the points, and view one or more alarms generated by the building controller for one or more of the points.
US12079432B2	Sensing part and display device including the same A display device includes: a display panel including a display area having a pixel and a non-display area disposed adjacent to the display area; a sensor including a sensing electrode overlapping the display area; a first pad electrically connected to the display panel; and a second pad electrically connected to the sensor, wherein the first pad and the second pad are disposed in the non-display area and are spaced apart from each other with the display area interposed therebetween.
