  • Publication number: 20250104161
    Abstract: Attending of events between users in a computer network is facilitated. Event parameters defining an event are received from a first user of the network. The event parameters include a location of the event and a date of the event. The event parameters are allowed to be viewed by each of multiple second users in the network. An indication of interest in the event is received from each of one or more of the second users. The first user is enabled to initiate communication with each of the one or more second users interested in the event while the one or more second users interested in the event are prevented from initiating communication with the first user. A selection, from among the one or more second users interested in the event, of a second user with whom the first user wishes to attend the event is received from the first user. A message is transmitted to the selected second user indicating that they have been selected to attend the event with the first user.

  • Publication number: 20240129563
    Abstract: The present disclosure can provide devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for secure frame management. The techniques disclosed herein provide detection of triggering items in one or more frames of streaming video. The camera transmits one or more frames of the video over a network to a computing device. The computing device can begin a streaming session with a server and stream the one or more frames of video and accompanying metadata to the server. The frames, metadata, and associated keys can all be encrypted prior to streaming to the server. For each subsequent segment of video frames that includes the triggering item, the server can append the frames of that segment to the video clip in an encrypted container.

  • Patent number: 11895346
    Abstract: Disclosure provides devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for secure frame management. Techniques disclosed herein provide an intelligent method for detecting triggering items in one or more frames of streaming video from an Internet Protocol camera. Upon detection, the camera transmits one or more frames of the video over a network to a computing device. Upon detecting a triggering item in a frame of the video stream, the computing device begins a streaming session with a server and stream the one or more frames of video and accompanying metadata to the server. The frames, metadata, and associated keys can all be encrypted prior to streaming to the server. For each subsequent segment of video frames that includes the triggering item, the server can append the frames of that segment to the video clip in an encrypted container. Once the triggering item is no longer detected, the streaming session can be closed.

  • Patent number: 10697035
    Abstract: A hot stamping die includes a body having a stamping surface, and cooling channels within the body. The cooling channels are positioned to transfer heat from region(s) of the surface to the channels. The hot stamping die also includes a heating element within the body, separate and apart from the channels. The heating element is positioned to heat region(s) of the body different from the region(s) of the surface at a rate greater than heat transfer from the channels to the region(s) of the surface.

  • Patent number: 10486215
    Abstract: A die apparatus including a first die element and a second die element is provided. The first die element is arranged with the second die element for disposal of a blank therebetween and includes a coolant channel and a trim groove for alignment with a trim line of the blank. A groove insert is disposed within the trim groove arranged to support a portion of the blank extending thereover and to reduce a cooling rate of the blank. The groove insert may be of a material including reflective radiation characteristics to reduce heat transfer from portions of the blank adjacent the trim line. The first die element may include a cavity aligned with a pierce region of the blank so that the pierce region does not contact an adjacent die element surface.

  • Patent number: 9569564
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods to create a pattern part, and a subsequent mold core package, that can be used in the casting process to cast one or more die components having a near net-shape of the finished part. In this way, the present invention provides a cast part which greatly reduces the amount of finishing work that needs to be performed on the part after casting. Further, the present invention provides a method which involves less upfront stock material to cast the near net-shape of the desired die component part. The present invention accomplishes this by providing an efficient and effective automated method to determine where and how to add appropriate mechanical features to a design model part to produce a manufacturing model part in a CAD software program.

  • Publication number: 20170021744
    Abstract: Vehicle seatbelts are designed to increase the likelihood of passenger survival in the case of a crash or collision. The optimal positioning of a vehicle seatbelt is over a passenger's shoulder, across their chest and upper thighs. Children weighing between 18 and 36 kg should be placed in a booster seat in order to raise them up to an appropriate height so that the adult seatbelt may protect them better. The current design of booster seats makes it difficult for children to buckle themselves into a vehicle and thus requires an adult to reach around the child and buckle them in. The current design of booster seats also does not ensure that the lap belt portion of a seatbelt will not move up to the lower abdomen of a child under normal driving conditions. The addition of a booster belt to a child booster seat will address both of the above-mentioned inconveniences and safety concerns with existing booster seat designs.

  • Patent number: 8568817
    Abstract: Cream substitutes are described comprising: a cheese curd, a water source, and a combination of gums that provide the cream substitute the texture of a thick cream, and/or stability against oil separation. The gums may be locust bean gum and xanthan gum. The amount of cheese curd in the composition is typically not more than about 55% by weight of the total ingredients. There is also provided a process for the manufacture of a cream substitute, comprising: combining a cheese curd, a water source, and hydrated gums, to form a mixture, in which the amount of cheese curd is not more than about 55% by weight of the total ingredients, homogenising the mixture, and heating the mixture at a temperature and for a time sufficient to pasteurise the mixture to form a cream substitute.
