  • Publication number: 20240087547
    Abstract: A system for platform-independent visualization of audio content, in particular audio tracks utilizing a central computer system in communication with user devices via a computer network. The central system utilizes various algorithms to identify spoken content from audio tracks and identifies “great moments” and/or selects visual assets associated with the identified content. Audio tracks, for example Podcasts, may be segmented into topical audio segments based upon themes or topics, with segments from disparate podcasts combined into a single listening experience, based upon certain criteria, e.g., topics, themes, keywords, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20090013923
    Abstract: A pair of A-frame members of molded plastic support an elongated beam extending through openings in apex portions thereof. Pockets are provided in the outsides of two legs of each A-frame member into which elongated weight cartridges are placed to be securely held to the legs. The legs and pockets are so formed that with a low volume and weight, a high strength and rigidity of the legs is achieved, a substantial contribution being made by the weight cartridges. The weights of the cartridges are used to resist tilting movement of the barricade and to achieve stability with a high degree of efficiency. The weight cartridges are preferably blow-molded plastic tubes filed with slag or sand and most preferably are interchangeable with cartridges currently in use in other applications.

  • Patent number: 6705796
    Abstract: Versatile multi-function legs can have different end portions to have either a shorter or a longer length but can otherwise be of identical form. In saw-horse structures, the two lengths, together with panels of different heights and connections between legs and panels, allow a variety of configurations. For folding of such structures, sturdy and reliable pivotal connections are provided through engagement of bearing surfaces of knuckle projections on adjacent legs. For A-frame structures, the legs can provide vertical posts that have openings receiving two lower beams and supporting a third beam at a higher elevation. The legs can also provide horizontal sand rails in A-frame structures. Legs of both lengths can be molded using common sets of tools and allowing a change between lengths to be readily made during a press run.

  • Patent number: 6178676
    Abstract: A warning device includes three components of an orange fluorescent material that carry reflectors of a red reflex reflective material. The components are pivotally connected to be operable to a compact folded condition. In an unfolded operative condition, an attachment structure secures a lower end portion of a first component to the upper edge of a vehicle window. The first component then extends outwardly at a sixty degree angle, a second component then extends horizontally outwardly from the lower end of the first component and the third component then extends inwardly and upwardly and at a sixty degree angle from the outer end of the second component to the upper end of the first component. The device then presents a triangularly shaped area having an outer border defined by the reflectors and an inner border defined by portions of the components. The attachment structure is sturdy and provides a reliable support of the device while being of a small size.
