Abstract: A cam-driven valve assembly includes a valve housing that supports an array of sliding-gate fluid valves to control the flow of fluid therethrough. The assembly includes a plurality of cams supported on a cam shaft. Each cam includes a pair of cam discs that define an inner cam track that is disposed internally with respect to an outer surface of the cam and an outer cam track that is disposed on the outer surface of the cam. The inner cam track is configured to engage with the valve body of a first one of the valves, and the outer cam track is configured to engage with the valve body of a second one of the valves, whereby the cam is capable of moving the valve body of both the first and second one of the valves upon rotation of the cam shaft.

Abstract: A cam-driven valve assembly includes a valve housing that defines a plurality of fluid passageways and supports an array of sliding-gate fluid valves in the fluid passageways to control the flow of fluid therethrough. The assembly includes a plurality of cams supported on a cam shaft. The cam shaft is arranged so that each cam is associated with a corresponding sliding-gate valve. Rotation of the cam shaft results in actuation of the valves via the cams. Each sliding-gate fluid valve has a movable plate that is connected to a cam via a leg that protrudes toward the cam shaft, the leg terminating in a cam follower that is mechanically connected to one of the cams. The leg is constrained to move within the plane by at least one of the guide teeth.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for continuing playback of a digital tutorial until a user interrupts the playback by signaling to the system that there is an issue or that the user needs help. The system, through detecting a recording that the user captured or a person's utterance (e.g., through passive voice monitoring) determines that the user's needs assistance with the digital tutorial. The system determines, based on the recording, that the user needs help to get to a specific step and play supplemental instructions to the user to get to the specific step.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for augmenting visual content with a sponsored object instead of a selected object. An illustrative method receives an input selecting an object for augmenting visual content, determines whether a property of the selected object matches a property of a sponsored object included in a database of sponsored objects, and in response to determining that the property of the selected object matches the property of the sponsored object, augments the visual content with the sponsored object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for continuing playback of a digital tutorial until a user interrupts the playback by signaling to the system that there is an issue or that the user needs help. The system detects a person's utterance (e.g., through passive voice monitoring) and determines that the user's utterance is related to the digital tutorial. The system determines, based on the utterance, which step of the digital tutorial is problematic for the user, and replays the problematic step.
