Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for managing and controlling movable barrier operator systems are described herein. A method for controlling a movable barrier operator system comprises receiving a credential associated with a first user account from a first user device, storing the credential in a memory of the movable barrier operator system, communicating the credential and an identifier of the movable barrier operator system to a remote computer to register the movable barrier operator system with the remote computer, and configuring the movable barrier operator system to change a state of a movable barrier in response to the movable barrier operator system receiving a state change request from a second user device associated with a second user account, the state change request from the second user device including the credential or a derivative of the credential received from the first user device.

Abstract: In one aspect, an in-vehicle computing device is provided for controlling operation of a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle computing device includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic and communication circuitry operable to cause automatic operation of the movable barrier operator by communicating with the movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device further includes a processor operatively coupled to the communication circuitry, the sensor, and the memory. The processor configured to determine satisfaction of a user account condition and, upon the user account condition not being satisfied, to inhibit the communication circuitry from initiating automatic operation of the movable barrier operator.

Abstract: The systems and methods provided herein use a rolling voice identifier in a multi-factor authentication system to avoid the security problems present in prior voice activated control systems. By implementing a rolling voice identifier in an access control platform, users may no longer need to be concerned with being overheard or recorded when providing voice authentication commands to an access control platform because the rolling voice identifier that the user will be prompted to speak will be specific to the particular instance of control of an access control platform. An access control platform is a platform that controls operation of a movable barrier by, for example, controlling the state of a movable barrier using a remote control. An access control platform may cause a movable barrier to become opened, closed, locked, or unlocked to permit or prevent access to a physical space by a physical object.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, novelty items, more particularly candles that are placed in a candle holder that is attached to a bow. The base of the bow may include a fastener such as a sticker for attaching the bow to a lid of a coffee cup. The candle holder may be secured to the bow base using a fastener such as double-side adhesive, or a pin that protrudes through the base of the bow and the candle holder. Alternatively, the candle holder may be molded to the bow base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for retrieving a printable media template from an identifier that is associated with printable media. The identifier is retrieved by a reader and a controller that are operatively coupled to receive and process the information. The controller includes a template engine that retrieves a printable media template corresponding to the information received from the identifier. A method for retrieving and generating a printable media template is also provided. A printable media package is also included that identifies a printable template for printing content on the printable media.

Abstract: A well completion for use in enhanced recovery of heavy oil includes a compressor for pressurizing natural gas captured from a heavy oil formation to a specified pressure while maintaining the pressurized gas at a specified temperature by controlling conduction from the pressurized gas of adiabatic heat produced in its pressurization. The pressurized and heated natural gas is then reintroduced to the heavy oil formation to enhance production therefrom.

Abstract: Novel femoral implants for use in hip arthroplasty are described and illustrated. The femoral implant comprise a stem and neck portion, with the neck portion having a novel configuration that provides for improved range in motion for the prosthesis without compromising strength of the implant.

Abstract: A wash apparatus for automotive vehicles includes a plurality of reciprocating wands which are driven by a compact drive/linkage system to move the wands in unitary reciprocating motion as a vehicle is moved adjacent thereto. Each wand has a turbo nozzle that emits a stream of liquid in a circulating conical path which in cooperation with the reciprocating movement of the wands on which the nozzles are rotated creates a desired cleaning action.

Abstract: An aid for use in repairing large appliances. The appliance support slips under a large appliance such as a washing machine and allows the service technician to tilt the appliance forward or sideways to an easier position to work on. The support has two angled working positions one at about 45 degrees tilt and a second at about 90 degrees of tilt of the appliance. This allows a technician to remove parts such as the back off a washing machine without bending down into an uncomfortable position. Flipping the appliance support over it can serve as a step stool.
