Abstract: The AUGMENTED REALITY VIRTUAL CONTENT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“ARV”) provides a photo driven ad-platform that transforms digital media placements into immersive and immediately shareable brand-consumer engagements via GPS-linked virtual photo components instantiated on a user mobile device. Within embodiments, users may create and share photographs augmented with brands or other images and accompanying messages on various social networks using their Smartphones or tablets to earn rewards. In one implementation, merchants and/or advertisers may populate the mobile augmented reality space as fans and consumers may share their photos on social networks and spread the word virally.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable hose cutoff saw having an improved stable base structure comprising a front plate and a back plate, a top plate extending transversely between the front and back plates interconnecting said front and back plates, and at least one connecting member extending transversely between a bottom portion of the front and back plates. The present invention also provides for a portable hose cutoff saw having a plurality of slideably adjustable hose biasing pins that may be adjusted to optimally bias the hose at or about a portion of a hose to be cut by the saw, thereby resulting in a consistent and straight cut of the hose.

Abstract: A data bus and message handling method provide a definitive means of indicating a client-aborted message for data bus systems which employ a message protocol that requires each message conveyed between a client device and an originating device to automatically and atomically include a frame check sequence (FCS). When a message is not to be client-aborted, a ‘good’ FCS is generated by a first method, typically based on the message's data content. However, when a message is to be client-aborted, the FCS is generated by a second method which requires modifying the good FCS value to create a ‘bad’ FCS, preferably using a mathematical means that preserves the uniqueness of the bad FCS to a high degree.

Abstract: The individual needles of a glass feeder mechanism which control the volume of the streams of molten glass sheared into discrete gobs are displaceable to adjust the size of the sheared gobs. The controller for the motor, which raises or lowers a stream, receives positional data from the plunger, which forms the gob into a parison, and determines the Parison Formation Point for that parison and raises or lowers the needle to maintain that point at a desired plunger location.
