Abstract: A media content sharing system includes multiple broadcast operation centers that together are configured to automatically acquire and distribute media content among one another based upon the media content needs and inventories of each participating broadcast operation center. The media sharing system architecture eliminates any single-point of system failure such that an inventory of media content corresponding to a particular broadcast operation center remains available to broadcast operation centers remaining on the media content sharing system subsequent to failure of the particular broadcast operation center.

Abstract: A spray applicator for the use in applying hairspray and the like to the hair of a person while preventing the build-up of excess fumes in the area of the person and the operator. A generally cone-shaped applicator is provided with an exhaust port through which fumes in the cone are exhausted, the applicator including a holder for holding a spray source such as a can or bottle, and a means for activating the release of spray from the can or bottle. The cone-shaped applicator is generally concave along a portion of its outlet end to be fitted against the person's head, neck, or face. Spray is released into the cone and onto the person's hair while fumes that are developed are substantially trapped within the cone and exhausted through an exhaust port at the top of the cone. The applicator cone is lightweight and transparent, which allows the operator to view the hair treatment during application of the spray, without adverse effects from fumes.
