  • RECOMMENDED RECORDING AND DOWNLOADING GUIDES
    Publication number: 20140226957
    Abstract: Techniques for recommending recording and/or downloading suggestions to a DVR user are provided. According to one technique, a list of suggestions is received from a recommending entity. Each of the suggestions identifies either to-be-broadcasted content or downloadable content. The entity is mapped to the list, thereby establishing an entity-to-list mapping. Data, which indicates a user's selection of a list, is received. The user's DVR is mapped to the selected list, thereby establishing a DVR-to-list mapping. Based on this mapping, one or more candidate items are automatically selected from among a set of items.

  • CATALYST LOADING AND UNLOADING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20140227073
    Abstract: An overhead catalyst loading device eliminates the need for lower flanges of the overhead catalyst structural support frame or dedicated overhead trolley beams to prevent ash build up collecting on a SCR reactor box and provides an advantageous lifting mechanism suitable for integration into a SCR device. The overall width of the SCR device is reduced since the structural support frame in the SCR device fits in the gaps between catalyst blocks. No extra space is required on either side of the catalyst blocks for the structural support frame. The overhead catalyst loading device also minimizes the chance of injury during catalyst block installation by using a hydraulic actuated lifting mechanism for loading and unloading catalyst blocks into and out of a SCR device. Methods of lifting and loading and unloading a catalyst block are also presented therein.

  • KIOSK FOR EXTRACTING GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS OF A KEY, MAPPING TO A MASTER KEY-CODE DATABASE, AND SAVING DATA INTO A CUSTOMER'S LOYALTY ACCOUNT
    Publication number: 20140229317
    Abstract: A method and application provides a universal key code for use when a key is lost. The code can be taken to a locksmith or retailer for duplication. The user can take their key to a kiosk located, for example, at a merchant's location. The kiosk can have the ability to extract a digital image of their key and a software application can extract unique key geometries from the key, via, for example, edge detection technology and/or other mathematical methods, digital image processing methods and standard image processing methods. A key code can be determined from this extracted information and mapped to a known key code database. The software application can output the key blank and key cut code to allow a consumer to simply and conveniently obtain a duplicate key. This information can be saved into a customer's loyalty account with a particular merchant for later retrieval as needed.
