Abstract: A barbecue cooking apparatus is an apparatus used to cook food items by utilizing different barbecue smoking methods. The apparatus includes a barrel, a lid, a frame, a shelved cooking system, a venting system, a winch mechanism, a lip, and a firebox gasket. The barrel provides a thermal enclosure for cooking the food items. The lid serves to close the barrel and to support the shelved cooking system. The lip and the firebox gasket seal the lid on the barrel when closed. The shelved cooking system holds both the food items within the barrel during the cooking process and the fuel source utilized to generate the heat energy to cook the food items. The frame holds the winch mechanism offset from the barrel. The winch mechanism facilitates the retrieval of the shelved cooking system from the barrel as well as the reintroduction of the shelved cooking system into the barrel.

Abstract: A user interface for rotating imagery among a plurality of canonical views of a geographic area of interest is disclosed. The interface includes at least one rotation control icon for rotating the imagery among a plurality of canonical views of the geographic area, and a direction indicating portion that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device. In particular implementations, the interface can be configured to come into view over the imagery whenever a user navigates to a particular view of the imagery where a plurality of canonical views is available. The motion of the navigation control interface appearing into the imagery is intended to draw attention to the control interface to inform the user that additional canonical views are available.

Abstract: A barbecue cooking apparatus is an apparatus used to cook food items by utilizing different barbecue smoking methods. The apparatus includes a barrel, a lid, a frame, a shelved cooking system, a venting system, and a winch mechanism. The barrel further includes a base, a lateral wall, and a rim. The barrel provides a thermal enclosure for cooking the food items. The lid serves to seal the barrel during the cooking process and to support the shelved cooking system. The shelved cooking system holds the food items within the barrel during the cooking process. The shelved cooking system further holds the fuel source utilized to generate energy to cook the food items. The frame serves to hold the winch mechanism offset from the rim. The winch mechanism facilitates the retrieval of the shelved cooking system from the barrel as well as the reintroduction of the same into the barrel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods of towing, hitching, and connecting devices. In particular, this disclosure relates to tow devices, hitches, and connections for towing item containers behind vehicles, both autonomous and manually guided.

Abstract: An example method to generate communication clients in an enterprise network environment involves receiving a status from a resource management system, the status associated with a computing resource of the enterprise network environment. The example method involves determining whether the status satisfies a threshold. When the status satisfies the threshold, the example method involves selecting a plurality of users based on a status agreement. When the status satisfies the threshold, the example method involves generating a communication client associated with the resource. When the status satisfies the threshold, the example method involves inviting the selected plurality of users via a social media interface to access the communication client.

Abstract: A pair of mower deck lifting ramps are mounted to a top surface of a mower deck for supporting a pair of tractor tires to ride over belts and pulleys on one side of the deck. A first carrier engagement member and a second carrier engagement member are attached to each drive-over ramp. The first and second carrier engagement members engage the upper and lower parts of a carrier attached to a lift arm of a loader to raise and turn the mower deck.

Abstract: A cake packaging employs special locks that allow bakers and bakery customers to open and close the packaging without risk of damaging the cake inside, but the elements work together so the fully-erected structure hides the less-than-sleek geometry of the locking mechanisms even as these obscuring panels are tucked into one another to secure the panels and give the packaging strength.

Abstract: A temperature controller for simultaneously controlling the temperatures of a plurality of heating elements for use in chromatographic analysis including columns, detectors, valves, transport lines and other components.

Abstract: A method for packet field suppression in broadband wireless communication is provided. Values for packet suppression can be learned and subsequently used for suppression. The learning can involve determining a new packet field suppression rule and a packet field suppression index. Packets can be suppressed based on the learned values.
