Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing an itinerary for a user based on articles of multimedia content are disclosed. One computer-implemented method may include: receiving, at the server and from a user device hosting a media streaming platform, an indication of selection by a user of a travel option associated with an aspect featured in an article of multimedia content presented on the media streaming platform; identifying, based on the receiving, a real-world location of the aspect; ascertaining, by the server, contextual information associated with the user; establishing, based on the real-world location of the aspect and the contextual information associated with the user, the itinerary for travel to the aspect; and presenting, subsequent to the establishing, a visual display of the itinerary on the media-streaming platform. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for apprising a user of a proximately located aspect-of-interest are disclosed. One method may include: receiving an indication of a geographic location associated with the user; identifying an aspect associated with a multimedia content interest of the user; determining whether the geographic location associated is within a predetermined distance to a known location the aspect associated with the multimedia content interest; transmitting, responsive to determining that the geographic location is within the predetermined distance to the known location, instructions to a user device associated with the user to provide a notification to the user; receiving, at the server, another indication that the user has provided interaction input to the notification; and transmitting additional instructions to another device to perform an action that is based on the interaction input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing rewards based on user actions performed in association with multimedia content are disclosed. One computer-implemented method may include: receiving, at the server, an indication of a real-world action performed by a user; identifying, by the server, that the real-world action corresponds to a rewards-based action performed in association with an article of multimedia content present on a media-streaming platform, wherein the rewards-based action at least corresponds to visitation to a geographic location associated with an aspect of the article of multimedia content; determining, by the server, whether performance of the rewards-based action necessitates distribution of a reward to the user, ascertaining, subsequent to determining that performance of the rewards-based action does necessitate distribution of the reward to the user, a type of the reward; and distributing, based on the ascertaining, the reward of the ascertained type to the user.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a hollow body defining an interior space with an interior surface and including a first portion having a first diameter, a second portion having a second diameter, a first opening in the first portion, a second opening in the second portion and a separation arm extending from the interior surface in the interior space and being disposed between the first and second openings.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a central connector with a first engagement structure, a second engagement structure and third engagement structure, an arcuate member having a first end and a second end, the first end being attached to the first engagement structure and the second end being attached to the second engagement structure, and a chewable member attached to the third engagement structure.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a resilient base member having a concave surface, and a holding member having a first end and a second end, the first and second ends attached to the resilient base member at the concave surface to form a passage between the holding member and the concave surface, the passage configured and arrange to frictionally hold food stuff therein.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a core having interior portion and defining an elongate channel along a surface of the core, a channel-shaped insert received into the elongate channel and overlying the elongate channel, a cover attached to the channel-shaped insert, and overlying portions of the core that are not covered by the channel-shaped insert such that the core is enclosed cooperatively by the channel-shaped insert and the cover, and a noise making device disposed within the interior portion of the core.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a housing and a core. The housing has at least one pocket that is located on an interior wall of the housing. The core is housed in the housing. The core is movable with respect to the housing between an aligned position with the housing and an unaligned position. The core is disposed in front of the pocket in the aligned position. The core is offset from the pocket in the unaligned position.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a curved part and a longitudinal part. The curved part has a first end portion, a second end portion and an arch. The arch connects the first and second end portions. The longitudinal part is attached to the first and second end portions. The longitudinal part is spaced from the arch so that the longitudinal part forms a arcuate shape with the curved part.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a body portion and a sliding portion. The body portion has a curved top portion with an inwardly extending arcuate side portion. The sliding portion is attached to a bottom surface of the body portion and is formed from rigid plastic so as to have a reduced coefficient of friction with a surface on which the pet toy is to slide.

Abstract: A carrier includes a body and a cover portion. The body has a bottom portion and a top portion and an opening in the top portion. The bottom portion is configured to be placed on a surface. The opening is the only opening sized and configured to enable an animal to enter or exit the body and enables an animal to enter or exit the body in a vertical manner when the bottom portion is placed on the surface. The cover portion is sized and configured to fit within the opening of the top portion. The cover portion is hingedly attached to the top portion at a first side and includes a latching mechanism at a second side. The latching mechanism enables the cover to be disposed in a latched state to close the opening in the top portion.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a hollow body defining an interior space with an interior surface and including a first portion having a first diameter, a second portion having a second diameter, a first opening in the first portion, a second opening in the second portion and a separation arm extending from the interior surface in the interior space and being disposed between the first and second openings.

Abstract: A nosebleed-attenuating apparatus including a pressure applicator configured to engage with an external bodily surface proximate an area of nasal vascularization between a nose and an upper lip; and a pressure receiver coupled to the pressure applicator, the pressure receiver configured to receive pressure; whereby an amount of the pressure is transferred to the pressure applicator for application to the external bodily surface.
