  • Publication number: 20160212078
    Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods disclosed herein facilitate mass delivery of audio messages to communication devices operated by recipients. Such a platform can function as an intermediary between a provider and one or more recipients of the audio message. These messages can be delivered to multiple phones, i.e., landline phones, cellular phones as well as internet (“soft”) phones. In another example, an audio message from a provider can be published on a webpage hosted by a social media network. In some instances, these messages can be delivered to local numbers, long distance numbers, or international numbers. The mass delivered audio messages can be received by users regardless of their geographical location, or the device(s) used to receive the message. Further, the disclosed system can enable users to receive such audio messages without downloading a mobile application program.

  • Patent number: 7743558
    Abstract: A double sliding door arrangement cooperating with a double-wide door opening formed in an upright wall. A top header beam extends across and defines the upper extremity of the door opening. A pre-tensioning arrangement mounted on and extending lengthwise of the top header beam causes the header beam to be deflected upwardly into a shallow bowed shape. A support track is fixed to and extends lengthwise of the header beam and horizontally for predetermined distances along and rigidly fixed to the wall adjacent right and left sides of the door opening. Right and left slab doors are supported on and vertically suspended downwardly from said track in sidewardly co-planar relationship, and are movable along said track between closed and open positions. The doors in the closed position vertically load and downwardly deflect the header beam, whereby the initial upwardly bowed shape minimizes outward swinging between opposed inner edges of the doors when in the closed position.
