Patent number: 11941223Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to retrieving and displaying contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives a request to display contextually-relevant media and, in response, displays a representation of a collection of media items relevant to a context of the device. In some embodiments, a device displays a visual media item of a sequence of items and, in response to receiving a swipe gesture, displays a detail user interface comprising related content for the media item. In some embodiments, a device, while displaying a first detail user interface, displays an affordance corresponding to a plurality of individuals identified as having attended a first event, that when selected, causes display of visual media corresponding to a plurality of events attended by the individuals. In some embodiments, a device, in response to user input, obtains an automatically-generated collection of visual media and displays a corresponding affordance.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Inventors: Britt S.

Patent number: 10787291Abstract: It is known to bind items to transport pallets by wrapping them in plastic film. However, this practice is time consuming, expensive and wasteful. It is an object of a preferred form of the invention to go at least some way towards addressing this. In the preferred embodiment there is a pallet containment mesh 2 wrapped around items stacked on a pallet 1, the mesh 2 comprising an upper entrance 4, a tightening mechanism 9 and elasticated ribs 8 extending from the entrance 4 to the pallet 1. The entrance can be tightened by the tightening mechanism to a substantially closed disposition so that items cannot be removed from the pallet and the elasticated ribs provide the stack with a stabilising tension.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: GAPRIE LIMITEDInventors: Jennifer Steward, Gary Wilson Priestley
