  • Publication number: 20210390837
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel system to integrate the critical components needed to power, control, and communicate with a roadway surveillance or monitoring system, such as a roadside camera system, into a small, self-contained and “unobtrusive” package so as to enable roadside surveillance or monitoring in an aesthetically appealing and functional package. This package may be inserted into a traffic pole, a utility pole, a light pole, or the like, whereas prior art systems were simply connected to an exterior surface thereof. The package may also be configured such the top cap is oversized and can slide in (and be secured, such as by screws or other securing means) but will not fall through the external structural pole or tube in which it resides. Such an “in-pole” integrated processing device has many advantages over the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20180336595
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program product for creating an externally shared data channel in a network database platform are described herein. A computer-implemented method may include receiving, via a network, an electronic indication including a property identification; retrieving, from a network database, a property information dataset based on the property identification; generating, by a processor, an electronic user interface trigger based on the property information dataset; and transmitting, to a client device, the electronic user interface trigger.

  • Publication number: 20180196819
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems disclosed herein that utilizes environmental data captured by user devices in real-time to identify real estate property information. The real estate property information, corresponding to properties found in the environment, may be augmented within the real-time image of the environment allowing a viewer to quickly assess information about such properties. In one example embodiment, a method is provided comprising accessing a camera of a device and causing to display at least one image of an environment, the environment having at least one property, determining information associated with the at least one property, providing an informational identifier comprising at least a portion of the information associated with the at least one property via a user interface of the device; and causing to overlay the informational identifier so as to augment the at least one image of the environment shown on the user interface with the informational identifier.

  • Publication number: 20180196811
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems disclosed herein that utilizes camera images captured by user devices to identify a property listing from a plurality of property listing in a database. In one example embodiment, a method is provided comprising accessing or receiving, from a device, at least one image, and obtaining one or more words contained in the image. Location information associated with the device may also be obtained. Thereafter, causing to query a set of records associated with the image based on the obtained one or more words contained in the image and the location information of the device. In some embodiments, after receiving from the set of records, one or more matching records, details from the received one or more matching records is displayed on the device.

  • Publication number: 20170357719
    Abstract: The invention provides a concept for measuring, classifying and ranking the success of an artist in web based music industry based on their performance across digital media platforms and social networks. The concept comprises obtaining by a centralized online platform, for an artist, play count data from digital music streaming and download services and fan count data from social media networks. The play count data indicate a count of interactions by users of the third party online platform with content of the artist that is stored on the third party online platform. The fan count data indicate a count of links between content of the artist that is stored on the third party online platform and users of the third party online platform. Based on the data obtained from third party platforms, numerical scores, such as an Artist Growth or Artist Growth Score, that indicate how a music artist is performing is calculated and compared to their performance against a group of their peers.

  • Patent number: 9074727
    Abstract: Embodiments of a safety guard, fit concentrically over a rotating member, such as a rod assembly, which extends outwardly from apparatus, such as a drive head. The guard may be restrained during normal operation for preventing entanglement of personnel or other apparatus with the rod assembly which continues to rotate within the tubular guard, or may be unrestrained during normal operation. When unrestrained, the guard is free to co-rotate with the rod assembly, but has a low moment of inertia such that the guard decelerates rapidly when restrained so as to prevent entanglement. An anti-friction interface between the guard and the rod assembly is formed by the material of manufacture of the guard itself or by bearings or bushings supported in an annulus between the guard and the rod assembly.
