Abstract: An integrated backend and dynamic interface system can be provided for handling multiple transaction channels. In one example, a client device can receive a unique identification code corresponding to a guest at a physical location associated with an entity. The client device can forward the unique identification code to a backend system configured to analyze a history of the guest to determine a customized object previously obtained by the guest from the entity. The client device can receive information from the backend system about the customized object and configure a graphical user interface to indicate the customized object. The graphical user interface can also include a graphical option that is selectable by a user for adding the customized object to an object order for the guest.

Abstract: Described herein is a multi-user retail photo kiosk system that includes multiple touch screen and Graphic User Interface (GUI) controlled consumer photo editing, photo print and product selection, and photo order placement terminals and multiple photo printers. The user photo kiosk terminals can receive images. Billing and payment is accomplished using barcoded receipts provided at the user terminal for payments for purchased photo products. A printer array incorporating various printers capable of producing prints or various sizes and formats can be configured as a horizontal counter or as a vertical tower and includes means to alert the user that their photo print order is complete. In addition, the system automatically notifies operators if equipment service, maintenance, media refilling, and/or post printing finishing procedures are required.

Abstract: One embodiment provides for a media playback device comprising a memory device to store instructions; one or more processors to execute the instructions stored on the memory device, the instructions to cause the one or more processors to provide a playback queue manager to manage one or more media playback queues including a set of media items associated with a scheduled event and a playback routing manager to determine an output destination for the set of media items based on context associated with the scheduled event, the playback routing manager to route output of playback of the set of media items to one or more of multiple different connected media playback devices based on the context associated with the scheduled event.

Abstract: Systems and methods receive contextual data related to spending as well as spending data. Correlations are determined to explain variables that influence spending amounts or rates. Systems and methods can collect user spending context data associated with a user, generate spending correlations between variables of the user spending context data, determine a next event based on at least one of the location data and the relationship data, and generate a next event value for the next event having at least a subset of the variables.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bow rests which are portable, lightweight and easily adjustable. The bow rests of the present invention generally comprise a plate wherein an opening is formed in a first end section of the plate and the second end section of the plate is bent such that an angle is formed between the plane of the first end section and the plane formed by the second end section. A mount, which is configured to be fixed to a bow is pivotally attached to the second end section. The opening is adapted and configured such that a shaft such as, for example, walking/wading sticks, staffs, canes and tree limbs can be inserted through the opening and the height of the bow rest above a surface can be quickly and easily adjusted. The bow rest is adapted and configured such that the weight of a bow is transferred to the bow rest and shaft thereby improving the accuracy of a sportsman shooting the bow.

Abstract: The present invention relates to gun rests which are portable, lightweight and easily adjustable. The gun rests of the present invention comprise a plate wherein an opening is formed in a first end section of the plate and the plate is bent at an intermediate section such that an angle is formed between the plane formed by the first end section and the plane formed by a second end section. The opening is adapted and configured such that a shaft such as, for example, walking/wading sticks, staffs, canes and tree limbs can be inserted through the opening and the height of the gun rest above a surface can be quickly and easily adjusted. The gun rest is adapted and configured such that the forearm of a firearm may be placed on the intermediate section of the plate thereby improving the accuracy of a sportsman firing the firearm.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of detecting poor meat quality in live animals using infrared thermography. In cattle, animals whose thermographs are predominantly outside the test temperature range, 28.degree.-32.degree..+-.2.degree. C., are rejected as having a high probability of producing poor meat quality. In swine, the test temperature range is 24.degree.-26.degree..+-.2.degree. C.
