Abstract: An over-the-deck support frame assembly includes first and second brackets, each having one of a tapered end and a tapered recess, and a support pivotable between stowed and upright positions and having first and second members respectively pivotable relative to the first and second brackets. Each one of the first and second members has an other one of the tapered end and the tapered recess that is complementary to and engageable with a corresponding one of the tapered end and the tapered recess. With the support in the upright position, the engagement is such that at least part of the other one of the tapered end and the tapered recess of the first and second member contacts at least part of the one of the tapered end and the tapered recess of the first and second brackets. Bimini and watercraft having the over-the-deck support frame assembly are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system includes a device associated with an endoscopy guided procedure including a housing defining a housing channel with at least a portion of the housing configured for deployment within a cavity. The device further includes a plurality of bodies defining respective channels defined within the housing. The housing defines a longitudinal axis, and the plurality of channels extends throughout the housing around the longitudinal axis. Each of the plurality of channels accommodates selective activation of radiation emittance from a predetermined different position along the housing via one or more radiation elements such that the plurality of channels collectively provides a predetermined spatial distribution of a radiation treatment to a target area along the cavity.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for generating a digital menu for an establishment. In accordance with some embodiments, a system for generating a digital menu for an establishment is configured to: retrieve menu data from a point of sale (PoS) system at the establishment; retrieve supplemental information for the retrieved menu data; generate the digital menu based on the retrieved menu data and the supplemental information; and transmit the digital menu to an electronic device for display to a user.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying and recommending events of interest in real-time media content. Video of a media content stream is analyzed to determine whether an event of interest is occurring in real-time. Upon determining that an event of interest is occurring in real-time, a user interface is generated that includes at least two concurrently visible options to begin viewing video content corresponding to the event of interest.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for processing customer payments for an establishment. In accordance with some embodiments, a server for processing customer payments for one or more establishments is able to connect to and interface with various establishments' PoS systems (including multiple different kinds of PoS systems) through a network (e.g. the Internet), remotely using cloud application program interfaces (APIs) of the PoS systems. The server is also configured to connect through the Internet to a payment gateway, which may be a software-as-a-service that is remotely available through APIs, for processing customer payments on behalf of an establishment.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying and recommending events of interest in real-time media content. Individual ones of multiple media content streams are analyzed to determine whether events of interest are occurring in real-time. It is then determined that an event of interest is occurring in real-time in a particular media content stream of the multiple media content streams. A user interface is generated that recommends the particular media content stream based at least in part on the event of interest.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing functionality to allow a viewer of a television show to watch a “previously on” segment of an episode of the television show and be able to watch the scenes from prior episodes referenced in the “previously on” segment.

Abstract: Relationships and descriptions are inferred for entities that appear in media content, such as movies and television programs. In one embodiment, media content is analyzed to infer relationships among entities that appear in the media content over an entirety of the media content. Relationships between two or more entities may change over time in the media content. A request is received from a client device for entity information regarding one or more entities relative to a particular time in the media content. Relationships that have been inferred via this analysis are then identified based at least in part on the particular time. The entity information presenting the identified relationships is sent to the client device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing functionality to allow a viewer of a television show to watch a “previously on” segment of an episode of the television show and be able to watch the scenes from prior episodes referenced in the “previously on” segment.

Abstract: A helmet includes a shell defining a ventilation aperture passing from the outer surface of the shell to the inner surface of the shell. A ventilation control is secured to the inner surface of the shell. The ventilation control is configured to be reversibly displaced between a first position blocking a flow of air through the ventilation aperture and a second position permitting flow of air through the ventilation aperture. The ventilation control is configured to be reversibly displaced between the first position and the second position by a force applied upon an outer surface of the ventilation control opposite to the inner surface of the shell from within an internal volume of the helmet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate managing interaction with instances corresponding to hosted services. Customers may implement services on a hosted computing environment. Further, the customer may allow limited interaction with the hosted service to a third party (e.g., in connection with a secondary service). For example, the third party may interact with a temporary copy of the hosted service. Thereafter, the customer may, given the consent of the third party, view details of the third party's interaction with the copy, and may be enabled to merge any alterations with the initial hosted service. In addition, a customer may monitor their own interactions with a hosted service or copies of a hosted service, and view details of the differences between multiple versions of the hosted service.

Abstract: A telephony application such as an interactive voice response (“IVR”) needs to identify quickly the nature of the call (e.g., whether it is a person or machine answering a call) in order to initiate an appropriate voice application. Conventionally, the call stream is sent to a call-progress analyzer (“CPA”) for analysis. Once a result is reached, the call stream is redirected to a call processing unit running the IVR according to the analyzed result. The present scheme feeds the call stream simultaneous to both the CPA and the IVR. The CPA is allowed to continue analyzing and outputting a series of analysis results until a predetermined result appears. In the meantime, the IVR can dynamically adapt itself to the latest analysis results and interact with the call with a minimum of delay.
