Abstract: A cable reel assembly is disclosed. The cable reel assembly comprises a rotatable body having a first lateral end and an opposing second lateral end, and an outer wall shaped to receive a cable wound therearound, a reduction gear having a gear edge defining a plurality of teeth, arranged at the first or second lateral end of the rotatable body, an auxiliary shaft assembly comprising an elongate bar extending from a first end to an opposing second end, and a drive gear joined to the first end of the elongate bar. The drive gear is gearingly engagable with the gear teeth of the reduction gear. A drive motor is operatively coupled to the drive gear of the auxiliary shaft assembly to selectively drive a rotation of the drive gear, which in turn drives a rotation of the reduction gear, thereby rotating the rotatable body about a longitudinal axis thereof.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for seeding video programs with episodic interactive items improve computer performance by averting tracking loss. The system includes a scene map table that maintains a scene record for every scene in the video. The scene record contains boundary information for the scene and linking information to companion scenes that are visually similar. When a developer tags an episodic item in the video for interactivity, the scene record for the scene where the item is tagged is accessed in the scene map table. The boundary information from this scene record is used to track the item across the scene without tracking loss and the linking information from this scene record is used to access scene records for companion scenes, allowing the item to be tracked across the companion scenes without tracking loss.
