Abstract:
An apparatus for distributing a soap based release agent upon a surface comprising; a means for metering a controlled quantity of a liquid metallic soap into a pressurized water stream to form a pressurized aqueous solution having a controlled dilution ratio of soap to water, at least one manifold connected to receive the pressurized aqueous solution, and a plurality of nozzles mounted upon the manifold to uniformly distribute the pressurized liquid solution upon at least one surface. The surface may further be defined as a planar surface, moving unidirectional along a fixed path at a predetermined variable speed and defined by a surface area of length multiplied by width. The planar surface has a fixed width, wherein the surface area moving past a fixed point for a predetermined period of time is a function of the speed of the planar surface moving past the fixed point. At least one regulating means regulates the dilution ratio of the soap to water by controlling the quantity of the metallic soap metered into the pressurized water stream. This quantity of metallic soap is correlative with the speed of the planar surface, so as to maintain a relatively constant measure of metallic soap per unit of surface area as the speed of the planar surface is increased or decreased.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for monitoring media interactions, and the embodiments disclosed herein are focussed on media interactions at mobile devices. A software application executing at the mobile device is configured to monitor user interactions with the device during that media item playback (using any one or more of the available device inputs, which may include the likes of touchscreens, cameras, buttons, microphones, gyroscopes, and so on). The timing and nature of these user interactions is analysed relative to media event data defined, thereby to identify correlations. The presence/absence of such correlations may be used for a number of purposes, such as media lockout control, competitions/promotions, entertainment provision, data collection/analysis, and the like. One very specific example is to instruct a user to, whilst viewing a football match, touch the location of a particular sponsor's logo (printed on a real-world substrate) each time it appears on screen.
Abstract:
A system and method for distributing reminder information in an electronic network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through said information distribution network. User devices are provided for device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. A transport structure communicates with network entities in the information distribution network for collecting appropriate types of metadata. A transport server then performs a metadata analysis procedure upon the various types of metadata to responsively generate the reminder information.
Abstract:
A Call-To-Action Lockout on a mobile device coupled to a data network is disclosed as a method and apparatus comprising providing a media application configured to respond to a control point associated with media content, providing media content which has at least one associated control point, triggering at least one control point while experiencing the media content; and performing an appropriate Call To Action Script (CTAS) in response to the triggered control point.
Abstract:
A hose support device is provided for connecting to a hose along its length and securing the same against a ladder while the hose is being utilized by a user thereon. The device comprises an elongated interior member having two distal end rounded members extending outward therefrom. The rounded members include an outer surface having a plurality of hose notches therein, wherein the notches of the rounded members are vertically aligned to secure to a hose in a first and second position along its length. Extending from the end of one of the rounded members is an eye bolt for suspending the device, or further for attaching a strap thereto when securing the device to a ladder. A supplementary strap is adapted to be wound around the device and a hose length positioned between two aligned notches to secure the hose therein.
Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a jig manipulator. The jig manipulator may comprise a crane engagement means that can be configured to engage with a crane such that the jig manipulator is structurally supported by the crane. The jig manipulator may also comprise a jig engagement means that can be configured to engage a component handling jig, such as a large oven door, such that the jig manipulator engaged with the component handling jig can support the component during maintenance, removal and/or replacement of the component.
Abstract:
A support pole comprising an outer upper pole and an inner lower pole. The inner pole may telescopically slide within the upper pole. The poles may slide freely with respect to one another. A lock mechanism with a quick-release lever may be utilized to friction or tension lock the first pole at a desired position with respect to the second pole. The support pole may be used in a variety of methods including dry wall support.
Abstract:
A system and method for implementing an information distribution network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through the information distribution network. User devices are utilized by device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. Transport structures are implemented for communicating with various network entities in the information distribution network to collect appropriate metadata for targeting selected information to the device users. The transport structures automatically and dynamically perform morphing procedures during which the transport structures are sequentially attached to a plurality of host entities on a one-by-one basis for collecting corresponding metadata.
