Abstract: An electronic device (101) for interactive content streaming includes a memory (130) and at least one processor (120) coupled to the memory (130). The at least one processor (120) is configured to receive an interaction request from a streaming device (1305), determine at least one action based on the interaction request, provide an action notification, based on the at least one action, to a content source (1308), wherein the action notification notifies the content source (1308) to update a state of at least one content of the content source (1308), and transmit a state update notification to the streaming device (1305), wherein the state update notification updates one or more applications of the streaming device (1305) based on the updated state of the at least one content.

Abstract: An adjustable crowding alley used to route livestock or other animals towards a destination. The adjustable crowding alley includes an adjustable panel that allows the width of the alleyway to vary according to the width of the animals being routed through the adjustable crowding alley. The adjustable crowding alley includes one or more backup blockers that allow animals to move forward through the adjustable crowding alley, but restrict backwards movement of the animals within the adjustable crowding alley after passing each backup blocker.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate moves in a word game includes a game asset distribution module that adjusts the respective distribution weights of letters in a set of alphabet letters. The letters are distributed to players in a word game with a probability proportional to the distribution weights. The game asset distribution module includes an analysis module to analyze the game board, lists of playable words, player skill levels, and relationships of particular letters in word formations. Accordingly, distribution weights of the letters are adjusted in order to facilitate allocation to the player of those letters which will facilitate word formation, ensure at least a minimum playable word experience, and enhance an overall user experience, even amongst players with significantly different skill levels.

Abstract: A videocommunication system and method, having an originating endpoint; and a recipient endpoint; wherein the originating endpoint is used to initiate a packet-based video-communication with the recipient endpoint; and wherein the originating endpoint comprises an interface to initiate a video communication with a live operator.

Abstract: A doorframe template apparatus is provided which includes a T-shaped first straight edge member which includes a straight top member and a straight middle member extending perpendicularly from a middle portion of the top member. The straight top member includes a top flange member and a bottom flange member at right angles to the straight middle member. A second straight edge member is connected to the straight middle member by a lockable pivoted joint. The lockable pivoted joint enables the T-shaped first straight edge member to be adjusted with respect to the second straight edge member at angles that conform to respective doorframe angles when the straight top member of the T-shaped first straight edge member is placed against a doorjamb, and the second straight edge member is placed against a horizontal doorframe member. The straight middle member includes a first aperture.
