Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for providing an alert on delivering a digital content such as when an interesting digital content is imminent, for example, the beginning of a play during a football game, to direct the focus of one or more viewers towards the digital content. The present invention is further configured to embed a commercial message in conjunction with the alert on directing the focus of the viewers. The system is adapted to activate the alert either manually or automatically. Further, the system is optionally implemented with an artificial intelligence (AI) system, which is trained using deep learning to recognize the appropriate time to automatically trigger the alert/commercial message sequence. The AI system could be trained by monitoring the manual control of alert activation.

Abstract: The present invention is a dispensing machine (10) to enhance the visual appeal of prepared foods. The dispensing machine includes one or more temperature controlled storage containers (36) that stores sauces, syrups, or other flowable foods and includes one or more dispensing nozzles (44) for dispensing the same. The dispensing nozzles (44) couple to a movable nozzle assembly (202). Additionally included is a controller (100) that controls the temperature and dispensing of the sauces, syrups, and other flowable foods. The dispensing machine further includes a temperature selection panel (18), a flow rate selection panel (14), and a pattern selection panel (16). Additionally included is a spinning assembly (206) that spins the food serving piece (22). Further included is a centering assembly (204) that centers the food piece (22). And further included is a data port (102) that allows additional access to the controller (100) and the stored patterns (106).

Abstract: The vending machine disclosed automatically assembles and delivers a made-to-order food item such as a submarine sandwich, salad, taco, or sandwich wrap in response to a customer order. The machine includes a conveyer that produces relative motion between a food item and ingredient dispensing stations that dispense customer-selected ingredients, including condiments, dressings, seasonings, sliced meats and cheeses, vegetables, and soft sandwich spreads. The machine may include an oven that bakes a portion of the food item, and may include a computer with a network interface.
