Abstract: An approach is provided for a content management tool for chaining user generated video content. A method includes providing, for display via a social media application, a first recording of a first user participating in a first session that includes first content. The method includes transmitting, by the social media application, the first recording to a plurality of devices. The method includes receiving, through the social media application, a plurality of submissions, from the plurality of devices, that are based on or responsive to the first recording, each submission of the plurality of submissions comprising a second recording of a user of a device of the plurality of devices. The method includes providing, by a cloud-based software tool, controls for selecting one or more submissions of the plurality of submissions to generate an audiovisual work. The method includes providing the audiovisual work for display via the social media application.

Abstract: A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single object in the presence of a plurality of objects, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single object amongst a plurality of objects wherein the traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by the at least one RFID reader; calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of the RFID tags; and, comparing the data set for each detected RFID tag with the data set for other of the detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of the detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of the detected RFID tags in the object traffic transactions to the single object.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for simultaneously applying a compressive and a reciprocating force to underlying adipose cells from a location external to a patient's skin to rupture or otherwise remove the adipose cells within a subcutaneous tissue region. The adipose cells are ruptured through the mechanical application of compression and shearing forces. The patient's body then re-absorbs and expels the ruptured cells. This eliminates the need for invasive liposuction and the trauma associated with invasive liposuction. Various mechanical devices may be employed to impart the compressive and shearing forces.

Abstract: A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein the traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by the at least one RFID reader; calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of the RFID tags; and, comparing the data set for each detected RFID tag with the data set for other of the detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of the detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of the detected RFID tags in the object traffic transactions to the single container.
