Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for digital rights management. Aspects include receiving, by a processor, a request to access media content from a requestor, wherein the media content is protected by a digital rights management (DRM) system that requires a license, obtaining context data associated with the requestor, analyzing the context data to determine a validity score for the request, and transmitting a license or access key to the requestor based on determining that the validity score exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to automating execution of operational tasks in an enterprise network. The method includes segregating a plurality of operational tasks into a plurality of task categories. Thereafter, the method includes mapping each of the plurality of operational tasks to at least one operation pattern based on associated task category from the plurality of task categories, in response to the segregating. The method further includes processing at least one of the plurality of operational tasks based on the at least one operation pattern mapped. Based on the processing, the method includes invoking automatically at least one utility to execute each of the at least one operational task.

Abstract: A system and method for correlating learning objectives, curriculum items or elements or competency expectations between multiple curricula, or between a curriculum and established national, industry or governmental standards, includes multiple steps. A first curriculum, including multiple curriculum items, is selected. A second curriculum or standard, containing multiple elements, is selected. A curriculum item from within the first curriculum is selected. A filter is applied to the elements of the second curriculum or standard to produce a visible display of a subset of elements from within the second curriculum. Individual elements, from within the subset of elements, are identified as correlating to the curriculum item. The individual elements that correlate to the curriculum item are tagged, or cross-walked, to create a link between the curricula.

Abstract: Commercial production transport systems, mechanisms, and guides for food processing are configured so as to automate food handling and/or transport. The systems employ fingers that can be inserted to gap spaces in a carrier surface so as to dislodge, guide and/or route food to travel over predetermined travel lanes. Associated methods can angularly translate food being transported in an automated food processing system in a longitudinally offset direction.

Abstract: Novelty themed stick holders for food items include an elongate holder having an external surface and opposing top and bottom portions defining an elongate receiving cavity therebetween. The cavity is configured and sized to receive a stick therein. In some embodiments, the holder tapers inwardly from a top portion to a bottom portion and defines a handle portion of a miniature baseball bat. Other themes and shapes are also described.

Abstract: Commercial production transport systems, mechanisms, and guides for food processing are configured so as to automate food transport. The system can direct food to travel serially over side-by-side predetermined travel lanes using one or more of a pick-up mechanism and/or router guide channels to pick-up and/or laterally translate the food product form the first travel lane to the second travel lane so that it travels greater than one, and typically a plurality, of revolutions about a tier or level in a vertically stacked food processing unit before moving to the next tier. Associated methods redirect and/or laterally translate food being transported in an automated food processing system.

Abstract: The storage system includes a housing which is fittable into a bed of a pickup truck or utility vehicle, wherein the top member of the housing extends forwardly beyond the bottom member. Two pullout drawers are arranged side-by-side within the housing and extend so that a front surface thereof is substantially flush with the forward edge of the top member. The exposed surfaces of the housing have a protective polyurethane coating, providing protection against extreme weather. Connecting members extend from the sides of the housing to the sides of the pickup truck bed or utility vehicle.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and associated devices for supplying support members to a product loading station, loading, and automatically removing loaded members therefrom include: (a) advancing in spaced-apart relationship, a plurality of carrier members having opposing first and second ends and an associated width and length, along a selected travel path to a loading station; (b) presenting, in serial order, the carrier members to the loading station in a substantially horizontal orientation; (c) discharging elongated product from a winder arm that moves in a selected pattern about the carrier member at the loading station; and (d) straddling elongated product over each respective carrier member at the loading station responsive to the discharging step so that portions of the elongated product are serially draped over the carrier member along a length thereof, the straddling being carried out so that certain lengths of the elongated product hang from opposing sides of the carrier member.

Abstract: Automated loaders are configured with winding mechanisms that wind elongated products directly onto transfer members, such as sticks or rods, by causing the arm to follow a repetitive motion pattern above and below the stick or rod to discharge the elongated product in a winding motion onto the stick or rod. Methods for discharging elongated product, such as encased meats, so that they loop directly onto the stick, bar or other desired food support is also described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and associated devices for supplying support members to a product loading station and automatically removing loaded members therefrom include: (a) advancing in serial order and spaced apart relationship, a plurality of elongated support members having opposing first and second ends and an associated length, along a selected travel path; (b) loading each of the elongated support members individually with a respective continuous length of multiple loops or multiple discrete lengths of elongated product at the loading station; and (c) advancing the loaded elongated support members away from the loading station along the selected travel path.
