Abstract: A server is configured to receive, from a first user device, information for a debrief-object. The server is further configured to generate a debrief-object from the information for a debrief-object. The server is further configured to generate a post-object containing the debrief-object. The server is further configured to associate the generated post-object with a newsfeed-object that contains a plurality of other post-objects. The server is further configured to generate an interface to render the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in an order other than the chronological order created. The server is further configured to serve, to a second user device, the interface. The first user device is configured to transmit, to the server, the information for the debrief-object. The second user device is configured to display the newsfeed-object such that the generated post-object and the other post-objects are displayed in another order.

Abstract: A user of a phone can initiate a communication session by sending a text message (e.g., a Short Message Service (SMS) or Search Results Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message) to a predetermined phone number. In response, a reply message may be sent back, and the reply message can include a link that, when followed, navigates the phones web browser to a web-based chat interface to, for example, guide the user through a series of questions or collect information from the user to complete a transaction. In this way, an intuitive, coherent chat experience can be provided to the user, even if restrictions on text messaging are in place.

Abstract: An ear piercing stud includes a post including a sharpened first end and a second end and a setting portion including a base secured to the second end of the post and a plurality of prongs configured to retain a stone in the setting portion. The prongs have a substantially constant thickness along length and width dimensions thereof. The base has a substantially same thickness as the plurality of prongs. The plurality of prongs are bent into a configuration having two side portions coupled together at an angle. Ridge-like strengthening structures run in a lengthwise direction along a central portion of each of the plurality of prongs. The setting portion is formed of a heat treatable gold alloy that increases in strength upon heat treatment.

Abstract: A method of forming a metallic bead includes forming a metallic cylinder including a closed lower end and an open upper end in an aperture in a die by pressing a metallic sheet into the aperture in the die and swaging the open upper end of the metallic cylinder to form a swaged upper end by applying a concave lower surface of a punch to the open upper end of the metallic cylinder.

Abstract: An articulated boat may include a pair of pontoons and a central cabin connected by pair of struts, each pair forming a parallelogram and one or more motors for changing the elevation between the central cabin and the pair of pontoons and for moving the boat through the water. The motors may be operated by remote control.
