Publication number: 20230316429Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided into segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using an interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to throttle the number of activities that are displayed to a user for any given segment based on (1) viewers linked to the user (e.g., groups, social media groups, etc.), (2) viewers that influence the user, (3) viewers selected by the user, (4) viewers that cause the user to be engaged with the multimedia content, and (5) a threshold number of activities set by the viewer or the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Rali Solutions, LLCInventors: Steve Benfield, Ahmad Aslami, Taylor Jones, Jonathan Cutrell, Taylor Dolan, Andrew Kimball, Chad Mills

Patent number: 10923872Abstract: An example tool for disconnecting a connector from a circuit board includes: a first arm having first handle and a first notch, where the first notch is for engaging a first connector connected to the circuit board; and a second arm having a second handle and a second notch, where the second notch is for engaging a second connector connected to a cable. A hinge connects the first arm to the second arm. The hinge is biased so that, when the tool is not in use, the first handle and the second handle are farther apart than are the first notch and the second notch.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: TERADYNE, INC.Inventor: Randolph Taylor Jones

Patent number: 10402918Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided in to segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using a graphical user interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to determine a sentiment score for particular multimedia content, one or more segments of the particular multimedia content, a user, a group of users, or an organization. The sentiment score may be related to a general mood (e.g., confused, happy, bored) of the user when viewing one or more segments of particular multimedia content.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Understory, LLCInventors: Steve Benfield, Ahmad Aslami, Taylor Jones, Jonathan Cutrell, Taylor Dolan, Andrew Kimball, Chad Mills
