Abstract: A photo booth system including a photo booth, a management service, and a sharing system is described herein. The system is configured to capture photographs and promotional data from end users, edit the photographs, and to allow the end users to share the edited photographs on one or more sharing sites.

Abstract: A photo booth system including a photo booth and a management system for providing self-diagnostic and health reporting. In some cases, the photo booth and/or the management system may initiate a diagnostic test to determine the photo booth's operational state. In some cases, the management system may select and/or dispatch a maintenance personnel to the photo booth if the booth is experiencing an issue.

Abstract: A photo booth system including a photo booth, a management service, and a sharing system is described herein. The system is configured to capture photographs and promotional data from end users, edit the photographs, and to allow the end users to share the edited photographs on one or more sharing sites. The system is further configured to analyze the promotional data collected at the photo booth to generate one or more metrics for a merchant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyethylene glycol “PEG” composition for treating a textile and method for preparing the same. The treated textile can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic depending upon the composition of the polyethylene glycol composition applied to the fabric. Additionally, the treated textile can absorb and release heat at various critical temperatures depending upon the molecular weight used of a polyethylene glycol formation added to the textile substrate.

Abstract: A cable tension sensing apparatus is mounted on a wall having a door opening. The jack shaft garage door operator includes a drive unit having an electric motor for driving a jack shaft mounted above a door opening. A pull-up cable drum is connected to the jack shaft and has a multi-strand steel pull-up cable that may be payed out to lower a door or wound up to raise the door. The cable tension sensing apparatus includes a cable guide to retain the cable a substantially fixed distance from the wall and a spring driven cable follower which urges against the cable extending between the drum periphery and the cable guide. An alerting switch is connected to the cable follower and sends a signal indicating loss of cable tension when the cable follower moves beyond a predetermined distance. Additionally, the movement of the cable follower moves a door blocking arrangement to a position to block movement of the door when being raised without use of the motor.
