  • Publication number: 20220201422
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided controlling transmission of sensor data. First sensor is processed to identify an area of interest and generate a trigger signal to direct the transmission of additional sensor data pertaining to the area of interest. Transmission of sensor data may be identified and/or prioritized based on various factors such as proximity, angle, orientation, interest level, category, rating, sensor type, sensor data quality and/or the like. Certain transmission characteristics may be controlled, directed and/or varied such as quantity, quality, rate of transmission, transmission frequencies and intervals, and/or the like. As such, user experience may be improved, and the consumption and timing of certain computation resources may be improved.

  • Patent number: 10250748
    Abstract: Systems and methods for unified calling are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the method may include (1) using a soft phone application executed by a computer processor, communicating, to a telephony server, an agent status indicating a readiness of the agent to manually make a telephone call; (2) receiving, on a computer terminal, an indication of a telephone number to call; and (3) manually dialing the telephone number using a telephone. The soft phone application emulates an analog connection with the telephony server.

  • Patent number: 9967512
    Abstract: A portable entertainment system may include a housing, a television and at least one table. The table may be adjustable between a first condition where it forms a portion of the housing and a second condition where table legs are used to support a tabletop onto a ground surface. The television may include a monitor that is adjustable between a first position within the housing interior and a second position outside the housing interior where it is operable for television viewing.

  • Publication number: 20160138883
    Abstract: A bore cleaner for a tank that literally crawls through the bore of the tank, and in the process of crawling through the bore, cleans the interior walls of the bore with very little user intervention or monitoring. The bore cleaner extends and retracts as it moves through the bore of the tank, and as it extends and retracts, brushes on the present invention rub against the inside of the bore of the tank and remove debris. When the bore cleaner reaches one end of the bore of the tank, slight user intervention is necessary to reverse the direction of the brushes on the bore cleaner.

  • Patent number: 8545256
    Abstract: To attach a cable to a NATO slave receptacle, a wire from the cable may be passed through an opening in a cable receiving member and connected to a tab formed on a NATO plug. The cable receiving member may then be attached to the NATO plug. The NATO plug may then be engaged to a NATO slave receptacle to create an electrical connection between the NATO slave receptacle and the cable. If desired, the NATO plug and receiving member can be easily detached from the cable and used with another cable.
