Abstract: A video server machine initiates an analysis of a video stream to be provided to a player device, and the initiated analysis may be configured to detect an optically readable code appearing within the video stream. The video server machine initiates provision of the video stream to the player device during or after the analysis that is configured to detect the optically readable code within the video stream. In response to the optically readable code being detected, the video server machine generates a command to control the player device, and the generated command indicates the screen location of the optically readable code detected by the analysis. The video server machine then controls the player device by providing the generated command to the player device, and the provided generated command causes the player device to present an interactive region at the screen location of the optically readable code.

Abstract: A machine for forming insulating panels from pieces includes a moving device with pieces thereon, where every other piece is upside down from a position that is desired and a flipping zone comprising a flipping machine. The flipping machine rotates the upside down pieces 180 degrees and releases the now right side up pieces for further processing.

Abstract: A wood composite including a reinforced laminate for overcoming interlaminate shear failure includes the use of an adhesive to form a strong mechanical bond between the adhesive and the wood and a strong chemical bond between the adhesive and the reinforced laminate. The reinforcement is a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite comprising a thermoset polyurethane resin matrix. An emulsion polymer isocyanate (EPI) adhesive is used to bond the FRP composite to wood.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing promotions in a retail environment is provided. Transceivers located at one or more locations within the retail environment are adapted for communication with personal mobile devices carried by shoppers. Promotions can be offered and accepted based on factors such as a shopper's location within a store, shopper identity, shopper purchase history, shopper promotion redemption history, date and time and other factors. Applicable promotions are then activated within the retailer point-of-sale system for application during checkout.
