Abstract: A cloud video system selectively uploads a high-resolution video and instructs one or more client devices to perform distributed processing on the high-resolution video. A client device registers high-resolution videos accessed by the client device from a camera communicatively coupled to the client device. A portion of interest within a low-resolution video transcoded from the high-resolution video is selected. A task list is generated specifying the selected portion of the high-resolution video and at least one task to perform on the portion of the high-resolution video. Commands are transmitted to prompt the client device to perform the at least one task on the specified portion of the high-resolution video according to the task list. The specified portion of the high-resolution video is modified according to the task list and uploaded to the cloud. Example tasks include transcoding, applying edits, extracting metadata, and generating highlight tags.

Abstract: A power cable or data cable system includes an integrated electrical connection adaptor configured to be mechanically coupled to the cable system when not in use. The adaptor is coupled to the cable system using clasping features formed in the body of the adaptor or a tethering element. Thus, the adaptor is conveniently located for use and cannot be lost. In some embodiments, the tethering element serves as a cable management system that enhances portability of the cable system by bundling loops of the cable system together.

Abstract: A lead acquisition, promotion and inventory management system and method are described that optimize the delivery and revenue of cost per acquisition (CPA) advertising programs, while implementing user targeting techniques to reach interested potential consumers. Clients, such as advertisers, can create a program to be implemented. Based on the program information, a number of leads is calculated that can be collected. The leads are generated by targeting and selecting qualified users from a user pool, and determining if they are compliant with the requirements of the program. Compliant leads are then allocated and delivered to the client.
