  • Publication number: 20230214461
    Abstract: A method and system for generating code snippets to license content are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes acquiring a digital asset in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) interface. The method further includes generating metadata and an access uniform resource locator (URL) for the digital asset. The method additionally includes generating a primary JavaScript object notation (JSON) file to create one or more code snippets in different formats for the digital asset. The method further includes activating an abstraction process to automatically generate a truncated embeddable code snippet after detection of a licensing of the digital asset.

  • Patent number: 8191561
    Abstract: An umbrella with an integral anchoring structure is provided. The umbrella includes a post having a lower end for insertion into the ground, and an upper end for supporting an umbrella top. The umbrella includes an integral spiral shaped anchoring structure formed on the lower end of the post. The anchoring structure is formed with a width, W, greater than a diameter of the post and a length, L, which is adapted to stabilize a weight of the umbrella and secure the umbrella and the post in a variety of earthen conditions such as sand, lawn, and soil even in a prevailing breeze or stormier conditions. The umbrella further includes one or more retractable levers integrally attached along the post.

  • Patent number: 4503508
    Abstract: Exposure control apparatus adapted for use with a computer having an inexpensive, uncalibrated clock includes a pair of covariant, internal reference signal sources, an integrator and a comparator that produces a time interval signal when an electrical parameter of the integrator reaches a threshold level established by the comparator. With the covariant reference signal sources connected to the integrator, the computer calculates an initial clock correction factor that is stored in the computer's memory. A standard light source of known intensity, which is used only once, is then coupled to the integrator through a photoresponsive device and the initial clock correction factor is used by the computer to provide compensation for the computer clock during an exposure operation. In the field, the computer, prior to each exposure operation, connects the covariant reference signal sources to the integrator and calculates an updated clock correction factor.
