  • Patent number: 11962427
    Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.

  • Patent number: 9077163
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to cable trailer that can carry a cable drum having a weight up to 10 ton. The cable trailer is designed to carry and unwind cable from the cable drum and direct and lay the cable in or along a trench. The cable trailer has a trailer chassis with an internal aperture enclosed by a tail gate. The tail gate can open or be removed to provide access to the space of the internal aperture for the cable drum. The cable trailer has two mounting arms to mount the cable drum. The cable trailer has a bridge with a cable director to facilitate removing cable from the cable drum and at least one cable support arm extendable from a side of the chassis for directing and laying of the cable.

  • Publication number: 20080082206
    Abstract: An automated control system is described for a conveying system including an input conveyor supplying a product, a segmented output conveyor delivering a product in a pattern, and one or more synchronizing conveyors disposed between the input conveyor and the output conveyor. The control system comprises a plurality of product position sensors for sensing position of product on each synchronizing conveyor. A conveyor sensor senses segment position of the output conveyor. A plurality of drives, one for each respective conveyor, control the respective conveyors. A database stores a plurality of template pattern algorithms each defining a control algorithm for a distinct product pattern to be delivered from the segmented output conveyor. A controller is operatively connected to the product position sensors, the conveyor sensor and the drives for controlling the conveyors responsive to sensed product position and segment position.
