  • Publication number: 20250119606
    Abstract: A prediction model is generated for a user using data regarding how the user responded to different positionings of items of ancillary content. The prediction model is used to determine respective positionings of a plurality of items of ancillary content. The items of ancillary content are streamed to and displayed by a user device as interstitial content using the determined respective positionings. Frames of an item of primary content may be analyzed to identify appropriate interstitial insertion points and to generate labels. The labels may be utilized by a remote system to select and stream interstitial content for the insertion points. The user's location may be determined and used to determine a maximum amount of ancillary content for a corresponding time period. Different amounts of ancillary content for a given time period may be provided to different users based on a registration state.

  • Patent number: 12221991
    Abstract: A clip assembly allows users to adjust the position at which the clip is mounted, allows for variance in mounting positions and styles, provides adjustability to allow a varying width of belts or webbing, and has cloth gripping abilities. The clip assembly can include a wire clip that is adjustably attached to a mounting base. The wire clip can, for example, be mounted facing upward, relative to the mounting base, downward, relative to the mounting base, or may adjustably slide to a desired position relative to the mounting base. A spacer may be provided that can adjust a size of an opening of the wire clip. The spacer may also provide a fabric catch member for helping keep the clip assembly in a desired position.

  • Patent number: 12174004
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-configuration transportable demolition pouch that includes a cruciform shaped section of fabric with a central explosive containing area and four trimmable flaps, a fastener on each of the flaps, a strap accepting slit, a first and a second strap, a fabric lid and priming hole, and one or more energetic device that can be selected based on desired blast footprint. The pouch can be trimmed when using smaller quantities of explosives to reduce its footprint and facilitate ease of carrying and emplacement. The device has attachment features to aid in transport and to provide proper spacing and attachment points for demolitions and breeching techniques involving multiple charges. The pouch provides components to allow for blast footprint alteration and for water tamping to reduce blast effects to nearby personnel, as well as to increase the efficiency of the explosive charge.

  • Patent number: 12130124
    Abstract: A firearm magazine carrying device includes a base and clip, where the clip portion can fold into the base. When the device is attached to or integrated into a firearm magazine baseplate, it allows the attachment of a firearm magazine to an article of clothing, pocket, bag, or other places where it is desired to secure a firearm magazine, without the aid of a carrier, pouch, or other devices. The base can include a removable central portion that can be repositioned to permit the clip to be disposed on either side of the firearm magazine.

  • Patent number: 11439210
    Abstract: A modular linking system allows bags, pouches, and other items to be connected together quickly and securely while providing the ability to remotely disconnect the two items. The modular linking system includes a post assembly and a receiver assembly, each of which includes a geared component to permit variously angled, non-rotational engagement therebetween. The receiver assembly includes a locking member that is resiliently moveable to an unlocked position to permit disengagement between the post assembly and the receiver assembly. The locking member includes two arms that are positioned in a slide lockup channel of the post assembly in the locked configuration, where the arms move out of engagement with the slide lockup channel in the unlocked configuration.
