Abstract: A subsea plough includes a plough share coupled to a chassis, boulder clearance and spoil clearance members, and front and rear support surfaces. In a first configuration, a maximum span of the boulder clearance member in an extended position is greater than a span of the spoil clearance member. The plough may be reconfigurable to include a backfill member. A method of use of the plough is provided in a boulder clearing only mode, and optional modes of simultaneous boulder clearing and trenching, second pass trenching, and backfilling a trench to bury a flexible elongate member in a seabed.

Abstract: A water safety garment and apparatus configured to avoid drowning can be configured to permit submergence for a predetermined period of time without inflation. After the predetermined time has passed, the garment or other apparatus can be configured to inflate to help a person wearing the garment float on top of the water to avoid drowning or other potentially harmful condition that may result from being underwater for too long. In some embodiments, a circuit may be utilized to detect the submergence condition of a person wearing the apparatus or garment. Upon a determination that the detected submergence condition has occurred continuously for a pre-determined period of time, an inflation mechanism can be actuated to force the person wearing the apparatus or garment to float to the top of the water.

Abstract: A full mouth toothbrush for simultaneously brushing the facial, lingual, occlusal and incisal surfaces of all the maxillary and mandibular teeth is provided. The full mouth toothbrush can include a handle, a power source, a motor assembly, and a drive assembly. The full mouth toothbrush can further include a mouthpiece configured to collectively contact multiple surfaces of multiple teeth simultaneously that brushes and, thus, cleans the teeth and gums.

Abstract: A device and method for brushing all surfaces of all of a user's teeth simultaneously. The device comprises bristle strip surfaces that envelope all of a user's teeth, the bristle strips comprising bristle bundles that scrub all surfaces of a user's teeth due to a reciprocating motion of the bristle strips. To use the device, a user inserts the toothbrush bristle strips into their mouth so to engage the user's teeth. A power source, motor, and drive assembly are utilized to cause the bristles to reciprocate, cleaning all a user's teeth surfaces simultaneously.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a method for deep tag media playback is provided. The method includes activating a user interface control for a media player executing in memory of a computer and correlating the user interface control to a classification of content type for digital media. A starting frame of digital media loaded for playback in the media player is determined for the correlated classification and the digital media is indexed to the starting frame in the media player. Finally, playback of the digital media is directed in the media player beginning with the starting frame. Optionally, a proximity event can be detected for the user interface control. In response, a thumbnail image is generated based on the starting frame and the thumbnail image is displayed in proximity to the user interface control.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to content delivery over a telephone call and provide a method, system and computer program product for delivering targeted content to a caller during call processing of an inbound telephone call. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for delivering targeted content to a caller during call processing of an inbound telephone call can include receiving a telephone call from a caller in a call handling system and identifying a telephone number for the telephone call from information contained in the telephone call.
