  • Patent number: 12019848
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a multi-platform omni-channel content creation and distribution system. The system includes a multi-platform media content data and logic structure, a user interface logic section configured to interface with a user and the multi-platform media content data and logic structure, and a multi-sectional view configured to be shown on a display. The multi-sectional view includes a metadata section in a first section thereof and a simulated true-to-life preview section in a second section thereof. The user interface logic section receives metadata information from the user. The metadata section displays the metadata information. The multi-platform media content data and logic structure causes the simulated true-to-life preview section to show a piece of content with exact proportional dimensions and appearance as it would appear under actual non-simulated real-world circumstances for a particular media platform and associated physical device.

  • Publication number: 20230373398
    Abstract: A step assist has a step pad operatively coupled to a stationary bumper for a vehicle that is automatically repositionable between a stowed position and a deployed position. An upper surface of the step pad forms a functional step in both the stowed position and the deployed position. The stationary bumper includes a storage compartment having an opening in a top wall of the stationary bumper providing access to the storage compartment. First and second pivot mechanisms are operatively coupled between the stationary bumper and respective distal ends of the step pad. The first and second pivot mechanisms are configured to eccentrically-rotate the step pad between the stowed position wherein a lower surface of the step pad encloses the opening of the storage compartment and the deployed position wherein the step pad is spaced apart from the opening of the storage compartment providing access to the storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 11494712
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include an automated engine to auto-import content from a separate and/or integrated application. A live update of a presentation can be performed based on latest data from a separate and/or integrated application. A presentation engine can generate a link for viewing a presentation can be shared without the need to have any corresponding separate client-side program installed on a user station. Raw digital input content can be sourced from a separate and/or integrated application, or from a 3rd-party database, and imported into the presentation engine. The presentation engine can automatically produce an auto-formatted presentation based on the raw digital content. The digital content can include a marketing and/or branding plan. The presentation engine can perform a live update to the presentation as the plan changes. The presentation can be viewed in any suitable web browser. Accordingly, marketing and branding plans can be quickly communicated to stakeholders.

  • Patent number: 10160559
    Abstract: A package coding system for a cigarette manufacturing process is provided. An imprinting device imprints an alphanumeric code on each of a series of cigarette packages. A conveyor device conveys the cigarette packages in a feed direction. An inspection device is operably engaged with the conveyor device and inspects the alphanumeric code imprinted on each cigarette package conveyed by the conveyor device to determine whether any of the cigarette packages includes a defect in the imprinted alphanumeric code, and thus comprises a defective cigarette package. A removal device is operably engaged with the conveyor device and is configured to be in communication with the inspection device. The removal device is configured to remove the defective cigarette package from the series of cigarette packages conveyed by the conveyor device in response to identification thereof by the inspection device. An associated method is also provided.
