Abstract:
An adapter for a trailer landing gear assembly. The adapter has a tool coupling section sized to be received in a chuck of a drill, an input shaft receiver configured to be selectively positioned around an input shaft of the landing gear assembly, and a locking pin selectively positionable through a portion of the input shaft receiver.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are operable for monitoring the transmission of media content events. An exemplary embodiment receives a media content stream at a media device from a media content transmission device at a first transmission rate, wherein the media content stream comprises at least one media content event selected for presentation on a media presentation device; stores at least a portion of the media content stream in a media device buffer; calculates a buffer metric; transmitting the buffer metric to the media content transmission device; and receives the media content stream from the media content transmission device at a second transmission rate based on the transmitted buffer metric.
Abstract:
Three dimensional (3-D) program content viewing system in a media environment with different media presentation devices detects a first synchronization signal transmitted from a first synchronization signal source, wherein the first synchronization signal is associated with first 3-D program content and includes a first signal identifier. The system detects a second synchronization signal transmitted from a second synchronization signal source, wherein the second synchronization signal is associated with second 3-D program content and includes a second signal identifier. The system then receives a selection of one of the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal and discriminates between the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal based upon the first signal identifier and the second signal identifier. The system then controls a left lens and a right lens of 3-D shutter glasses in accordance with the selected one of the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are operable to test a plurality of devices under test (DUTs) communicatively coupled to one of a plurality of switching elements of a DUT controller. An exemplary embodiment identifies a first DUT and a second DUT from among the plurality of DUTs as members of a test group, wherein the first DUT and the second DUT are identified based upon a test schedule defining a plurality of test groupings of members of the plurality of DUTs for concurrent testing; and communicates control instructions to a first switching element coupled to the first DUT and to a second switching element communicatively coupled to the second DUT, wherein the control instructions are configured to actuate the first switching element and the second switching element to communicatively couple the first DUT and the second DUT.

Abstract:
Various systems and methods allow aggregation and display of content information associated with entertainment devices using a device-to-device messaging protocol such as that provided by the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard. Content information such as electronic program guide (EPG) data for multiple entertainment devices may be displayed, for example, using the on-screen display (OSD) of a single entertainment device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are described herein for altering the presentation of commercials presented based on user input of their likes and dislikes of commercials. A plurality of commercials are received and stored at a media device. A commercial user interface is presented with at least one commercial. A user selection associated with the presented commercial is received via the commercial user interface, wherein the user selection corresponds to one of a user dislike and a user like of the first commercial. Future presentation of at least one next commercial is altered based on the received user selection and the stored plurality of commercials.
