  • Patent number: 10824690
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for automatically distributing digital content includes displaying selectable content items, receiving data from a user a selection of at least one of the content items, displaying selectable distribution channel options for at least the selected content items, receiving from a user a selection of certain of the distribution channel options, and distributing the selected content items to the selected distribution channels. The system may also include a content management system configured to be operated by an administrator, which sets the “look and feel” data and user permissions for a user platform system which receives the user input selections and automatically distributes selected content items to selected distribution channels based on selected schedules, and also measures and ranks results of content items and channels, provides alerts, and can optimize results autonomously or by the user.

  • Patent number: 5315947
    Abstract: A water going vessel, which may be a mono hull-type vessel or a multihull-type vessel has a hull which is divided lengthwise into a row or rows of individual hull sections. Each hull section is pivoted along its outer edge to an outer edge of a deck frame of the vessel. The hull sections can be swung upwardly and out of the water individually for inspection and treatment without substantially affecting the buoyancy of the vessel as a whole. The entire hull can be inspected and treated, without having to pull the vessel from the water, by lifting the individual hull sections in sequence.
