  • Patent number: 9426421
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for tracking engagement of participants in a presentation. An example system implementing the method can identify a presenter in a conference and participants in the conference. Then the system can gather, during a presentation by the presenter in the conference, engagement data about the participants. The system can generate or calculate an engagement score based on the engagement data, and present the engagement score to the presenter during the presentation. The system can gather the engagement data from participant devices through which the participants are accessing the presentation or from other participant devices not directly involved with the presentation.

  • Patent number: 7377551
    Abstract: A collapsible snowboard pole is presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a snowboard pole can be provided with a manually expandable and compressible shaft, a basket at the tip, and a handle at the top. The basket can slide between a lower tip-ward (distal) position for storage and an upper top-ward (proximal) position for use. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention the pole can be expanded to full length and disengaged from a docking mechanism located at the back of a snowboard with one hand, while a user is in motion on the snowboard. Once disengaged, the user can easily deploy the basket to its full upward extension for use. Additionally, a user can dock a collapsed pole and secure it in a docking mechanism, or can insert the pole tip in a docking mechanism, then collapse the pole and then secure it in the docking mechanism, all with one hand while in motion on the snowboard.
