  • Patent number: 11955116
    Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.

  • Patent number: 9410761
    Abstract: A suppressor with configurable baffles has a tubular body defining a bore, a muzzle mount facility on the body, a stack of a plurality of baffles closely received in the bore, each of the baffles defining a primary aperture, each of the baffles having an asymmetric gas flow feature, the primary apertures being aligned on a common axis, each of the baffles having an alignment facility operable to mate with the alignment facility of an adjacent baffle such that a relative rotational position is established, and each alignment facility including a plurality of orientation features at selected rotational intervals about the common axis, such that each baffle is operable to engage an adjacent baffle in a plurality of different alternative orientations at which the respective asymmetric gas flow features are relatively oriented in a selectable position.

  • Publication number: 20100001902
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for tracking unmanned air vehicles and an observation platform. A location of an unmanned air vehicle is received wirelessly from the unmanned air vehicle, the location of the unmanned air vehicle being determined by a global positioning system on the unmanned air vehicle. A location of an observation platform is received from the observation platform, the location of the observation platform being determined by a global positioning system on the observation platform. The unmanned air vehicle and the observation platform are displayed on a display device based on the received location of the unmanned air vehicle and the received location of the observation platform.
