Abstract: An agricultural machine system, includes: an agricultural machine; a control system operatively coupled with the agricultural machine, the control system including: a sensor configured for: sensing a cut stubble of a plant material; outputting a cut stubble signal corresponding to the cut stubble; a controller system operatively coupled with the sensor and configured for: receiving the cut stubble signal; determining a cut stubble characteristic based at least in part on the cut stubble signal; outputting an output signal based at least in part on the cut stubble characteristic.

Abstract: A collective virtual emotional experience, e.g., laughing in reaction to stand-up comedy, results is accomplished by providing stand-up comedy content through a first remote device, e.g., a smart phone, to a first content consumer; collecting, through the smart phone, the first content consumer's reaction to a segment of the stand-up comedy content; providing the same stand-up comedy content through a second remote device, e.g., a smart phone, to a second content consumer who is remote relative to the first content consumer; and, when providing the segment to the second content consumer, apprising the second content consumer of the first content consumer's reaction to the segment.

Abstract: In an example, a computer implemented method includes obtaining respective transactional data from each financial data source of a plurality of financial data sources, where the respective transactional data is each associated with a posting time. The method also includes determining a net liquidity amount from the respective transactional data based on the posting time of each of the respective transactional data. The method also includes outputting net liquidity data that is representative of the determined net liquidity amount.

Abstract: A system and method for eliciting and receiving tips for media content. A server may provide media content to a consumer by streaming a movie to the consumer's device such as a computer, smartphone, tablet, or television. At a trigger point during the movie, the server may present a tipping interface to the consumer. A tipping interface may provide elicitation content and interface controls to accept tipping input. Elicitation content may be media content designed to inspire the consumer to provide a tip. The tipping interface may also provide information for guiding the consumer as to the amount of a tip. Interface controls in the tipping interface may accept tipping input from the consumer, which may include a tip amount, a reason for the tip, and suggestions related to the streamed movie or the streaming or filtering of the streamed movie. The server may receive the tipping input from the consumer and may effect a financial transaction based on the received tipping input.

Abstract: A trench drain system and method of installation thereof on a level floor surface. An elongate channel member is placed on the floor surface. A preformed elongate sloping member having a thick end tapering to a thin end in inserted into the channel with its thin end closest to the channel drain opening, thereby forming an inclined sloping surface. A grate extends over the channel inlet. The area adjacent the channel is filled to the height of the channel, whereby water thereon flows through the grate into the channel, along the inclined surface and out through the drain opening. The channel can be placed adjacent a vertical wall whereby wall tile may be installed over a channel top edge. The floor area adjacent the channel is filled with preformed sloping sheet members or with plastically formable material positioned at an incline using a floor height setting post.
