  • Publication number: 20250039334
    Abstract: Techniques for using collaborative conversational artificial intelligence during video conferencing are provided. In an example method, a video conference provider joins first and second client devices to a video conference. The video conference provider receives, from the first client device, a first prompt and relays the first prompt to a conversational AI, which is followed by receipt of a first response. The video conference provider then outputs, to the second client device, a data structure including information about the first prompt and the first response. In some examples, the video conference provider receives, from the second client device, a second prompt and relays the second prompt to the conversational AI, which is followed by receipt of a second response. The video conference provider then outputs, to the first client device, a data structure including information about the second prompt and the second response.

  • Patent number: 7318694
    Abstract: An apparatus for immovably attaching or holding objects to a vehicle, trailer, platform or the like. The apparatus comprises at least two rails. Each rail is fixed and attached to the vehicle or the like, each rail having a channel that runs most of or all the length of the rail. The apparatus further includes at least one attachment device, the attachment device received by the channel of one of the rails, two projections of the rail constraining the attachment device to slide within the rail, whereby the attachment device attaches or secures an object to the rail. The attachment device is made and configured to slide within the one rail, and also configured to be immovably fixed at a desired position within the one rail by operating a locking mechanism that is part of the attachment device. In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism comprises cams that wedge against the projections of the rail.

  • Patent number: 7249867
    Abstract: A lighting fixture assembly includes a housing assembly that forms an interior. A valve mechanism is associated with the housing assembly and is configured to automatically vent fluid from the interior to the atmosphere when the pressure in the interior exceeds a threshold level. Otherwise, the valve mechanism seals the interior from the atmosphere. The lighting fixture also includes a pressure-equalization mechanism, separate from the valve mechanism, which is also associated with the housing assembly. The pressure-equalization mechanism is configured to, upon activation, substantially equalize the interior pressure with the atmosphere pressure and to otherwise seal the interior from the atmosphere.
