Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to systems and/or methods for presenting user-interactive, dynamically-generated contextual content for individual articles of clothing. A QR or other code is provided to the article of clothing. The QR or other code is scannable by an electronic device, causing the electronic device to access a webpage or the like. The webpage (or similar information display) includes information typically found on a tag or label, together with additional dynamically-generated and organized content relevant to the article and/or person for whom the article was made. The techniques described herein are usable in connection with mass-produced, small batch/boutique items, as well as custom articles of clothing. Thus, it becomes possible to quickly and easily convey a broad scope of information about an article of clothing directly from that article of clothing, without having to include large and potentially irritating tags or labels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a dialogue guidance graph that governs a set of operations of an automated dialogue system and that includes encoding a recall operation to a target graphical node of the graph, wherein the recall operation causes: an accessing of a temporary data storage storing a log of data of an active dialogue session between a user and the automated dialogue system, an assessment of a terminality attribute associated with the target graphical node, a determination of whether the terminality attribute is disabled or enabled, wherein if the terminality attribute is disabled, the recall operation, causes the automated dialogue system to revert the active dialogue session to the target graphical node to perform one or more dialogue-based operations between the user and the automated dialogue system that converts the terminality attribute of the target graphical node from the disabled state to the enabled state.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for controlling a digital display and surveillance system including display devices and at least one camera. Responsive to a determination that a person of interest has entered a location, one or more attributes of the person is/are recognized. A customized display is developed by an inference engine. The customized display provides an immersive experience with a level of customization detail based on the identified attribute(s) of the person. The display devices output the customized display. Surveillance information is provided to the inference engine based on surveillance of the person as the person moves about (and/or interacts with items) in the location. The surveillance uses data identifying a current area in the location that the person presently is in. Updates to the customized display are developed responsive to surveillance information being successively provided to the inference engine. The display devices are controlled to output the update.

Abstract: A modular display system having individual stackable electronic display panels of convenient and portable size and mounting structures for the support thereof where the stackable electronic display panels mutually juxtapose, mate, and robustly and mutually and adjustably secure together by the use of connector plates at the top of stackable electronic display panels interfacing with interlocking lower connector assemblies and lower connector plate receptors at the bottom of an overhead vertically situated stackable electronic display panel and by interfacing of latches and cams of latch keeper assemblies at the sides of horizontally situated stackable electronic display panels to form a large electronic sign display. Spring-loaded slide pin assemblies foster rapid and secure connection between vertically situated stackable electronic display panels. Adjustment features are also incorporated to align each stackable electronic display panel.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine including a housing, an intake port defined in the housing, an exhaust port defined in the housing, and a generally cylindrical combustion chamber defined in the housing. The combustion chamber communicates with the intake port and the exhaust port and a combustion geroter is received by and rotatable within the combustion chamber. During operation, the combustion geroter receives a fuel mixture, compresses the fuel mixture, combusts the fuel mixture, and discharges the combusted fuel mixture to the exhaust port.

Abstract: A system and method for directing consumer traffic over the Internet properties of affiliated content providers and vendors increases traffic over affiliated sites by embedding a foreign object within those properties, and encouraging consumers to search for that object. Consumers register with the marketing solutions provider in order to become eligible to participate in the object search game. Content providers and vendors also register in order to become part of the said system that directs consumers to various Internet properties. Such an affiliate has their account credited once a consumer has been successfully directed to that affiliated property. The consumer has his or her account credited after successfully finding the object resident on that affiliate's property.
