Abstract: Methods for generating meta-tagged media files, in which features of an event recorded in the media file are tagged to identify content, are disclosed herein. The methods include independent and simultaneous generation of a media file and meta-tags, and the combination of the media file and the meta tags based on a correlation of device times to generate the meta-tagged media file.

Abstract: A dry lubrication system for a conveyer is provided. The dry lubrication system includes a pump and at least one dispensing head. The pump is used to pump dry lube. The at least one dispensing head is coupled to receive dry lube from the pump. The at least one dispensing head is configured to deliver a flow of dry lube on a conveyer at a rate that is greater than 3 milliliters per second (mls) without the dispensing head touching the conveyer. In some embodiments the dispensing head is one of at least one duckbill valve and at least one of a micro tube.

Abstract: A system for siding a building includes at least two siding pieces each including an end that abuts the other of the siding pieces, and a slip sheet. The slip sheet includes a lip that catches a top surface of at least one of the siding pieces. The slip sheet is positioned behind the at least two siding pieces and backing the abutting ends of the at least two siding pieces. The system also includes a trim flashing apparatus which further includes a trim portion that includes a visible surface and a surface to abut a portion of a siding piece, and a flashing portion attached to the trim portion. The flashing portion is sufficiently thin so that at least a portion of the flashing portion is covered by at least one of the two siding pieces.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for washing eviscerated poultry carcasses (12) has a housing (11), a conveyor (15a) for moving the shackled poultry carcasses through the housing. A guide bar (24) tilts the poultry carcasses (12) from a vertical position for spraying by a first set of nozzles (23). The first set of nozzles (23) delivers a cleaning solution (100) at a sufficient flow rate and line pressure, whereby a portion of the cleaning solution (100) is deflected back out the rear opening (12d) of the poultry carcass (12).

Abstract: The invention is an infant bath support system that enables a parent to effectively entertain an infant secured to an infant bathing means during the bathing process.

Abstract: An apparatus for a countertop ice dispenser or ice and beverage dispenser is made from a single piece plastic ice bin. Parts for the dispenser are assembled into sub-assemblies before final assembly. The ice bin may be made by a rotomolding process. This uses relatively inexpensive molds with reasonable control over the thickness of the resulting bin, while allowing up to 0.005? of variation per inch of length in the overall size of the ice bin. The resulting ice bin has hollow walls that can be filled with insulating foam. An attractive dispenser may be assembled from such an ice bin, with metal panels and a plastic base. If a combined ice/beverage dispenser is desired, a cold plate and dispensing valve may be included. The plastic base and a plastic drain pan have integral attachments that mate for assembly. The dispenser may also be easily disassembled for repair.

Abstract: An automobile vent extender that decreases discomfort by allowing hot and cold air to be directed from an automobile vent directly onto a body portion of an automobile passenger. Preferably, the automobile vent extender removably attaches to a vent diffuser embedded within the dash of an automobile.

Abstract: The interface between a moving conveyor belt and a work piece can be lubricated using an air driven stream of finely divided droplets of a lubricant composition. Droplets of a preferred size are directed by the air stream onto the conveyor with little waste of lubricant off the conveyor. The lubricant provides a very low coefficient of friction and little or no stress cracking in the containers. Using a low pressure and low flow rate air stream in conjunction with a low flow rate liquid lubricant attains the useful particle size in the lubricant add on spray. The liquid lubricant is sheared by the effect of the air flow creating the desirable droplet size and pattern of lubricant on the conveyor.

Abstract: A selection manifold for use for use with a beverage dispenser apparatus for dispensing both carbonated and non-carbonated beverages and including a plurality of dispensing valves with a syrup and a water line feeding each dispensing valve further comprising a selection manifold connected between at least one of the water lines and sources of both carbonated and non-carbonated water, the manifold having a selecting mechanism allowing a user of the apparatus to easily switch between directing carbonated and non-carbonated water through the water line to the dispensing valve. In a preferred embodiment, the selection mechanism includes a portion that enables a viewer to easily determine whether carbonated or non-carbonated water is selected. In another preferred embodiment, the selection mechanism includes a lock to prevent inadvertent switching of the mechanism.
