Abstract: A content delivery system includes a computing platform having processing hardware and a system memory storing software code, a user account database, and a content database. The processing hardware executes the software code to receive, from a user device utilized by a user, a request for access to a first content of a plurality of contents, the request including an identifier of a sponsor of the request, to verify, using the identifier, an authorization status of the sponsor, and transmit to the user device, based on verification of the authorization status of the sponsor, content access data enabling access to the first content by the user. The processing further executes the software code to detect that the user is accessing the first content, and to offer, in response to detecting that access, an opportunity to the user to obtain access to the plurality of contents.

Abstract: An improved beverage transport assembly that functions to provide a vehicle for transporting liquids from a remote storage location (e.g. a cooler or refrigerated room) to a dispensing location (e.g. a bar or concession stand), preferably in a temperature conditioned manner. The improved transport assembly including at least a conduit assembly, the conduit assembly having, an inner and an outer casing with an insulation layer disposed there between and an interior space, the inner casing has a thermal conductivity value of at least two times a thermal conductivity value of the insulation layer; and the transport assembly having one or more product lines disposed within and extending through the interior space; and one or more coolant lines disposed within and extending through the interior space, wherein the coolant line is in thermal communication with the inner casing.

Abstract: A guided sales system provides a sales person and/or a customer with guidance through a sales process including detailed information about products and technologies. The guided sales system allows a user to enter information about the customer and the customer's needs, to identify products matching the customer's needs and to make product recommendations. A user may further use the system to print a recommendation and/or a sales ticket that may be used by a customer to complete a purchase or transaction. The sales system may further provide a free-form drawing application to help visualize product placement and configurations. Various visualization and learning tools may further be integrated into or otherwise included in the guided sales system to aid a customer's understanding of particular products and/or technologies.

Abstract: A system for displaying visual content is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises a processor configured to process visual content that is to be displayed, storage couple to the system and adapted to store the visual content, and logic configured to display the visual content.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying visual content is disclosed. In some embodiments the system comprises a processor configured to process visual content that is to be displayed on the mobile display, a storage device coupled to the mobile display and adapted to store the visual content, and an interface configured to facilitate the transfer of the visual content from an external source to the storage device.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe for flow rate measurement is disclosed having a plurality of transducers mounted on a flexible cable configured to be inserted in a body cavity to obtain cardiac or other biometric telemetry. The flexible cable is provided with a disposable body which covers and microbially isolates the flexible cable and transducers. The disposable body is flexible and permits rotation of the flexible cable within it. Removal and replacement of the disposable body allows the probe to be used again without sterilization of the probe itself. A sensor window may be provided in the disposable body to allow transmission of ultrasonic signals, said window being provided with an anechoic surface treatment to reduce reception spurious ultrasonic echoes due to the material of the sensor window.
