  • Patent number: 10140622
    Abstract: A content distribution service may provide lead information to content providers or other entities associated with a broadcast. The service may include both registered and unregistered (e.g., anonymous) users or subscribers that may each provide data associated with one or more subscriber attributes. Subscriber attribute information may be collected from a subscriber in a progressive manner such that sequentially small portions of data are collected over a period of time. The content distribution service may generate leads by collecting and determining subscriber attributes for each subscriber or anonymous user associated with the service. The leads may be generated in response to a request by a content provider or other requestor, or in response to an event such as the creation of a new broadcast.

  • Patent number: 9584564
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for integrating live audio communication in a web event is provided. In exemplary embodiments, live audio data is received from one or more presenters. The live audio data is then encoded to create a formatted audio stream. The formatted audio stream may be synchronized with presentation events to generate the live web event by injecting control data for the presentation events. A combined formatted stream may be distributed to one or more users.

  • Publication number: 20050140479
    Abstract: A latching mechanism for a movable member mounted for movement between first and second positions. The latching mechanism includes a primary latching mechanism mounted for movement between a latched position where the primary latching mechanism engages the movable member to allow the movable member to move between the first and second positions, and an unlatched position where the movable member is disengaged for movement to the second position. A secondary latching element engages the first latching mechanism to hold the primary latching mechanism in the latched position, the secondary latching element being movable to move the primary latching mechanism to the unlatched position while remaining in engagement with the primary latching mechanism.

  • Patent number: 3987653
    Abstract: A locking device for a looped cable includes a casing in which one end of the cable is anchored, there being a passageway through the casing through which the other end of the cable can be passed. Within the casing is a cable clamp for reducing the size of the passageway, the clamp being threaded on a screw and movable to change the size of the passageway by rotation of the screw. The screw is rotatable by rotation of a lock mounted in the casing, the lock being rotatable by a key. The clamp cooperates with a bed to define the passageway, the clamp and bed having intercalated pyramidal teeth which can exert a vise-like grip on a cable of normally cylindrical shape.
