  • Patent number: 9705926
    Abstract: Media files are often tagged, such as by XML or other tagging paradigms, in order to indicate aspects of certain portions of the media file. Disclosed herein, security policy tagging is provided that supports a logically nested or hierarchical structure. Tags may be time- and/or event-altered, such as when a user who is denied access at one point in time may be granted access at a later point in time. The need to amend the security policy based upon the passage of time is reduced or eliminated as portions, or sub-portions, of a media file that may be selectively tagged with security tags may be presented or downloaded based upon the security policy. The a security policy may incorporate rules that change permissions upon the passage of time or the occurrence of an event, without requiring the modification of the presentation, the security tags of the presentation portion, or the security tag associated with a parent portion of the presentation or the presentation itself.

  • Publication number: 20170109351
    Abstract: Tagging media streams allows topics and other items of interest to be readily identified. As provided herein, stateful tags are provided, which comprise a value determined from a link to another data source, such as a calendar, inventory, accounting, project management, or other application. Media streams, such as audio/video confines, may be tagged with stateful tags to identify items of interest and comprise a value that is dynamically determined. Subsequent playback of the media streams allows the stateful tags to be presented as comprising a then-current or other value, which may have changed since the time of the media stream's creation.

  • Publication number: 20140166322
    Abstract: A work vehicle, such as a motor grader, comprises a frame, a ripper, a tie bar attached to the frame, and a four-bar linkage attached to and disposed between the ripper and the tie bar for transferring a load between the ripper and the frame via the four-bar linkage and the tie bar. The four-bar linkage and the tie bar are co-planar with respect to a plane within which the four-bar linkage is movable relative to the frame. A toolbar for the ripper is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20040243423
    Abstract: A vehicle collision estimate audit system is utilized to audit repair estimates created by in-house estimators and independent appraisers. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a receiving module to receive a repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a review engine to review the repair estimate and to generate an audited repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a profile management database to house at least one profile and the one profile is associated with the repair estimate. The profile is utilized to assist in the generating of the audited repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system also includes a data release module to receive the audited repair estimate and to output the audited repair estimate.
