Abstract: A system and method of covering a bollard with removeable advertising. The bollard cover comprises a sock that has graphics printed on it which has a retention mechanism near an open end to releaseably couple the sock to the bollard. Preferably the sock is made of a flexible, stretchable fabric and the retention mechanism is made of elastic. In a preferred embodiment, the fabric sock is longer than the bollard is tall and is made of flexible material that stretches in both directions. When the fabric sock is used in combination with a rigid sleeve over the bollard, the excess sock is caught between the sleeve and the bollard such that, as the sleeve and sock are pushed down over the bollard, the sock is tightened, presenting a smooth graphic design that looks as if it is painted on the bollard.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method performs computer operations using a first fractional precision and a second fractional precision. A computer program has a source variable, a destination variable, and an operation. The source variable has a first dynamic fractional precision, the destination variable has a second dynamic fractional precision that differs from the first dynamic fractional precision, and the operation is related to the source variable and the destination variable. The source variable is aligned to a format of the destination variable, according to the first dynamic fractional precision and the second dynamic fractional precision. The operation is performed using the destination variable and the source variable. A value is assigned to the destination variable according to the operation. In this manner, a single codebase may be written that operates on various hardware that each have different bit precision capabilities, without requiring additional development and verification effort.

Abstract: Bollard covers and related advertising methods enable expanded media reach to consumers. Bollard covers are configured with changeable and/or replaceable media such as advertising. Via a flexible bollard cover, cylindrical bollards, U-shaped bollards, drive-through speaker boxes, and the like may be utilized to display advertising or other media.
