  • Publication number: 20220383904
    Abstract: An approach is provided for a content management tool for chaining user generated video content. A method includes providing, for display via a social media application, a first recording of a first user participating in a first session that includes first content. The method includes transmitting, by the social media application, the first recording to a plurality of devices. The method includes receiving, through the social media application, a plurality of submissions, from the plurality of devices, that are based on or responsive to the first recording, each submission of the plurality of submissions comprising a second recording of a user of a device of the plurality of devices. The method includes providing, by a cloud-based software tool, controls for selecting one or more submissions of the plurality of submissions to generate an audiovisual work. The method includes providing the audiovisual work for display via the social media application.

  • Patent number: 7594484
    Abstract: A blower housing for use with an engine. The blower housing is adapted to receive a stream of intake air, and the engine includes at least one cylinder. The blower housing includes an intake opening, an air filter housed within a filter compartment, and an air flow duct adjacent to the filter compartment. The air flow duct is configured to direct air to the at least one cylinder. The air flow duct includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being angled with respect to the second surface to deflect the air passing through the duct away from the first surface toward the second surface. The first surface separates the air into a first portion and a second portion having deflected particulate matter therein. The duct also has an aperture that allows air to flow from the duct to the air filter, and an exhaust window.

  • Publication number: 20020198990
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for use in remotely monitoring and controlling devices. The system provides bi-directional control and monitoring functions to allow devices that cannot currently be managed remotely to be monitored and controlled in near real-time from a remote location. Sensors embedded in or on the device, asset or process being monitored record operating and device status data. These sensors transmit device conditions to a communications device (referred to herein as a “communicator”) through a variety of industry-standard device control protocols. The communicator then evaluates the data and, if necessary, converts the data to a compressed protocol for transmission to a centralized gateway server. The compressed protocol has a structure tailored to the needs of monitoring remote devices. At the centralized gateway server, the compressed protocol is converted to an industry-standard device management protocol.
