  • Publication number: 20160203815
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for providing an automatic synthetically generated voice describing media content, the method comprising receiving one or more pieces of metadata for a primary media content, selecting at least one piece of metadata for output, and outputting the at least one piece of metadata as synthetically generated speech with the primary media content. Other aspects of the invention involve alternative output, output speech simultaneously with the primary media content, output speech during gaps in the primary media content, translate metadata in foreign language, tailor voice, accent, and language to match the metadata and/or primary media content. A user may control output via a user interface or output may be customized based on preferences in a user profile.

  • Patent number: 9336509
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for determining, assigning and directing containers for transshipment between facilities without using an item-level sortation process and moving containers from a receiving area of a facility to an outbound dock without placing the items into inventory. A facility may or may not have item-level sortation processing. Data indicating received items is received. A determination is made for which of the received containers are for transshipment from the materials handling facility based on multiple factors. Containers in receiving that are determined for transshipment may be directed from receive to outbound docks without placing the items into inventory and without using an item-level sortation process. Pallets may be transshipped without placing the items into inventory and without depalletization.

  • Patent number: 9317831
    Abstract: A method for processing packages is provided. A package is received at an intermediate shipping site and a delivery authorization status corresponding to the package is determined based on a threshold of some characteristic of the package. The package is delivered if the authorization status is that delivery is acceptable and the package is not delivered if the authorization status is that delivery is not acceptable. The acceptability of the package for delivery is determined by a response that an addressee provides to an electronic message notification of package availability. The electronic response preferably contains some authenticating information regarding the package.

  • Publication number: 20160090267
    Abstract: A coil tubing spool handling device includes a base structure and a vertical support structure. The base structure includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a rocker portion with a curved surface to allow the base structure to rotate along the curved surface. The vertical support structure is connected to the base structure proximate the rocker portion, and extends substantially perpendicular to the upper surface. The vertical support structure and the upper surface can receive a coil tubing spool. A center of rotation of the rocker portion is located in a forward location relative to a center of gravity of the device when the vertical support structure and upper surface receive the coil tubing spool. The relative positions of the center of gravity and the center of rotation bias the handling device to rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position.
