  • Publication number: 20220292547
    Abstract: A system and method for the automatic distribution of rewards for user content within social networks is provided. Content that is posted by users to social networks may display a qualifying product or service, as determined by the operator of the system and method. Such content is identified by software algorithms and evaluated for its marketing value. A quantity of that evaluated value is then paid out to the original user, either immediately or on a deferred basis, in the form of currency. The present invention provides for a novel method to compensate social media users for their unpaid labor they have performed by inadvertently advertising products and services, and thus represents a material benefit for a large segment of the population.

  • Patent number: 11369905
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to separating solid particles from an airflow in a gas turbine engine. A system for separating debris includes a first separation device in fluid communication with an inlet flow path of a compressor and a second separation device in fluid communication with an outlet flow path of the compressor and an inlet flow path of a combustor. The first separation device is adapted to remove coarse particles from the airflow. The second separation device is adapted to remove fine particles from the airflow. The course particles have a larger mean particle diameter than the fine particles.
