  • Publication number: 20240123601
    Abstract: A workbench-hand truck assembly includes a first pair of legs, a frame, a second pair of legs pivotally coupled to the frame and to the first pair of legs, a workbench configured to be supported by the first and second pairs of legs, a pair of brackets pivotally coupled to the first pair of legs, and a nose plate pivotally coupled to the pair of brackets for movement between a stored position, in which the nose plate extends parallel to and adjacent the workbench, and a deployed position, in which the nose plate extends away from the workbench. The workbench-hand truck assembly is configurable in a hand truck position when the nose plate is in the deployed position, such that the nose plate extends perpendicular to the workbench.

  • Patent number: 11238520
    Abstract: Contextual parameters of digital media content may be obtained. The digital media content may be associated with a content capture user and/or an end user. Editing parameters defining one or more editing attributes of an edited version of the digital media content may be received. Post-capture user profiles may be obtained. A set of post-capture users may be identified as potential matches for creating the edited version of the digital media content. The set of post-capture users may be presented to the content capture user and/or the end user for selection of one of the post-capture users to create the edited version of the digital media content. In response to the selection, a shipping label may be generated for shipment of the digital media content from an origin address associated with the content capture user and/or the end user to a destination address associated with the selected post-capture user.

  • Patent number: 9761278
    Abstract: Contextual parameters of digital media content may be obtained. The digital media content may be associated with a content capture user and/or an end user. Editing parameters having values defining one or more editing attributes, including one or more selected moments of interest, of an edited version of the digital media content may be received. Individual post-capture user profiles may include expertise attributes associated with individual post-capture users. A set of post-capture users may be identified as potential matches for creating the edited version of the digital media content based upon one or more of values of contextual parameters, editing parameters, one or more expertise attributes of the post-capture user profiles, and/or other information. The set of post-capture users may be presented to the content capture user and/or the end user for selection of one of the post-capture users to create the edited version of the digital media content.

  • Publication number: 20090314193
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultra-sonic device, which can be utilised in an aquatic environment to inhibit growth of waterborne flora and fauna. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of reducing such growth and the removal from the underside of yachts, boats and the like. In general, the present invention relates to anti-fouling systems as are known to prevent biological growth such as algae, seaweed and crustacea on marine vessels or underwater structures. Coating materials have been developed preventing corrosion due to oxidation of the surface of the structure. Although such materials have effects of retarding growth of the corrosion, however, they contain zinc, lead, copper, etc, raising a problem of environmental pollution due to dissolution of these metals into seawater.

  • Publication number: 20060190409
    Abstract: A method and system is presented for a digital licensing scheme that separates the license from the digital file containing the copyrightable material. According to the present invention, the files can be downloaded from any server, and transferred from user to user, even after the file has been licensed. The present invention utilizes producer software running on a vendor's computer, server software running on a computer provided by the license provider, and player software operating on the user's computer. Digitally encrypted communication streams keep communications between the producer software, the license provider, and the player software confidential. A software component running on the user's computer checks to make sure that the appropriate product license has been purchased. This is accomplished by comparing the product ID in the product license with the product ID contained in the product file.

  • Patent number: 7062468
    Abstract: A system and method distribute licenses for copyrighted material separate from the copyrighted material itself. A producer or “vendor” of copyrighted material registers the material with a License Provider. The License Provider returns an encryption code for the producer to attach to the materials which are in digital form. The vendor distributes that material to one or more users who purchase a license from the License Provider. The license includes an encryption key to decrypt the file containing the materials. The system and method incorporate security measures to prevent unlicensed use and distribution of the materials.

  • Publication number: 20020003886
    Abstract: A method and system is presented for storing multiple tracks of music in a single structured storage file having multiple layers of organization. The top layer contains links to separate “folders” for each track, as well information associated with the collection of tracks as a whole. Inside each track folder is the digital data defining the music track, as well as information concerning that track. Audio/video information associated with the collection can be stored in the root file, while audio/video information associated with the track is stored in the track folder. A file header in the root directory contains a vendor ID and a product ID, which allows licensing software to examine the file and uniquely associate it with a particular license. Preview tracks contained in the track folders can be played if the no license exists. To prevent tampering with the product or vendor ID, the header file is encrypted with DES encryption using an encryption key common to all files.
