  • Patent number: 11089352
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for synchronizing content across multiple user devices. Content packets may be individually provided to user devices associated with a group. Each content packet may include a portion of content (e.g., media content) and a content index (e.g., an index that indicates a sequence by which the content packets are to be presented). The user device may begin to play the content packets according to the sequence. The user device may receive a particular content index identifying a particular content packet that occurs latest in the sequence and that has been received by all of the devices of the group. The user device may modify playback of the content packets based at least in part on the particular content index to synchronize playback of the content at the user device with respect to playback at the one or more devices.

  • Publication number: 20130127228
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stool which is very versatile and comprises a simple cylindrical shape. The stool can be quickly and easily installed at any suitable location and, in particular, can be included in outside areas, for example, parks, school playgrounds and shopping precincts. The stool includes an interior chamber into which a ballast can be located in order to weigh the stool down. This ballast inhibits the easy movement of the stool and, in particular, prevents the inadvertent movement of the stool. The stool is located outside and the ballast is collected from adjacent to the installation site. The stool includes a recycled cut down drum as an inner core with a thermosetting outer covering moulded thereto. Accordingly, the stool and is environmentally friendly and is manufactured using recycled and sustainable materials and is anchored using a locally sourced sustainable ballast material.

  • Patent number: 5147429
    Abstract: The airborne air cleaning station features a dirigible supporting a gigantic collector hood exteriorly mounted thereto, and an enlarged housing having a plurality of different types of air cleaning devices contained therein. The collector hood funnels polluted ambient air into an air intake system that places the on-board air cleaning devices in fluid communication with the collector hood. Sensors within the air cleaning station analyze an incoming air flow to determine the pollutants which need to be removed from the local atmosphere. Then, an automatic control system actuates automated valves of an on-board piping system to route incoming air to those air cleaning devices which are best equipped to remove whatever particular pollutants have been detected by the sensors. The inclusion of a plurality of different air cleaning devices, such as wet scrubbers, filtration machines, cyclonic spray scrubbers, etc. advantageously equips the airborne air cleaning station to deal with a wide variety of pollutants.
