Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to obtaining various types of information that can provide an accounting for an individual's legacy that can be replayed to learn about objects and/or experiences associated with the individual. A personal legacy accountant can generate a legacy profile using automatically obtained public records and personal records supplied by the individual, and afford the individual an opportunity to contextualize records for the profile. Through this contextualization, the individual can selectively define one or more perspectives for her legacy.

Abstract: The present invention is a spreader device used to fill a container or silo with grain that comprises a shaped body including a primary opening with a removable cover and several angled, peripheral openings located a distance from the primary opening.

Abstract: A system and method for using gaming as a tool to determine optimum routes through areas that have experienced a disaster are provided. Due to the disaster, an area may have some destroyed roads and other infrastructure. In one embodiment, input data collected from people on the ground, drones, and other aerial vehicles can be used to generate a virtual simulation of the area. The virtual area may include renderings of destroyed roads and infrastructure. Once created, the virtual area may be uploaded to an online gaming environment where users can participate in online games that permit them to find the best routes through the virtual area between starting and destination points. Once optimal routes are found, the system may send these routes to navigation systems used by rescuers and other people in the area to help them navigate the disaster area.
