  • Patent number: 11842150
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering cross-site auto-play media are described herein. The server can receive, from a client device, a request for media content at a first domain embedded in a content element from a second domain. The request can include an identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection. The server can determine, responsive to identifying the identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection, that the request comprises a content type header having a first predetermined value. The server can generate, responsive to the determination, a response comprising the media content element in a body of the response. The server can transmit the response to the client device. Receipt of the response can cause the client device to extract the media content element from the body of the response and to render the media content element.

  • Patent number: 6701900
    Abstract: In some fuel systems, such as those associated with a diesel engine, most if not all of the air that has leaked or been introduced into the fuel system must be evacuated before the fuel injectors can work properly to start the engine. Because such systems often utilize a pressure regulating valve to maintain the fuel system at some pressure, which is often substantially higher than atmospheric pressure, it can be difficult to evacuate air without first raising the air pressure in the fuel system above that which is required to open the pressure regulating valve. In addition, evacuating air from the fuel system can sometimes involve pushing the air through the fuel injectors in order to evacuate the same to the fuel tank. A quick priming fuel system includes air bleed passages that circumvent both the pressure regulating valve and the fuel injectors so that air can be quickly evacuated from the system at a relatively low pressure.
