Abstract: A woven geotextile fabric utilizes a plurality of yarns including machine direction field yarns, cross machine direction field yarns, machine direction rib yarns, and cross machine direction rib yarns. The plurality of yarns is integrally woven together. The machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns cooperatively define an integrated geotextile grid integrally within the woven geotextile fabric. The machine direction field yarns and the cross machine direction field yarns cooperatively define fabric areas in a field of the integrated geotextile grid generally between the machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns.

Abstract: Among other things, a dispenser for dispensing material is provided herein. The dispenser includes a cover. The dispenser is configured to receive a container from which material is dispensed. The container is adapted to be supported by the cover. Biasing structure is adapted to apply a force to the container to facilitate dispensing the material from the container.

Abstract: A system for collaboratively generating and/or managing a media channel is provided. The system includes an identification component, a generation component and a permissions component. The identification component identifies a first set of media content associated with a first social group and a second set of media content associated with a second social group. The generation component generates a media channel based on the first and second sets of media content identified as being respectively associated with the first and second social groups. The permissions component grants access to the media channel based at least on permissions generated for the first and second sets of media content in connection with the respective first and second social groups.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include a filling apparatus that can be connected to a valve on a keg, such as a Sankey-D valve, and can be used to pour alcohol and other liquids into the keg, which may be pre-filled with a non-alcoholic drink mix. The filling apparatus has an upper structure which is coupled to a lower portion configured to mate with a keg valve. The filling apparatus may be designed to depress portions of the keg valve to allow for both filling and venting of the keg simultaneously. The filling apparatus may further be designed with features to prevent liquid escape during degassing of the keg. The filling apparatus may include a Sankey-D coupler or a coupler with a probe portion as the lower body portion.

Abstract: Systems and methods to determine the status of transmitted audio packets. The audio packets can include digital components that are presented by a client computing device. Based on presentation variables and determinations of presentation status, the system can generate a predictive model that can be used to dynamically determines presentation values of audio packets prior to their transmission to a client computing device.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed that determines whether a content item viewed by a user has been approved by the user. Responsive to determining that the content item has been approved by the user, the method and system select a share interactive element to display with a graphical representation of the content item to allow the content item to be shared with one or more other users in any of a plurality of content networks. The method and system annotate the graphical representation of the content item with share interactive element. The method and system further provide, by a processor, the graphical representation of the content item with the share interactive element for display on a media device.

Abstract: A sorter for agricultural items comprising a main frame with a circular horizontal plate having an outer edge cam surface. A circular sub-frame is mounted for rotation about the plate's vertical axis, in parallel relation to the plate. The sub-frame includes plural item cups pivotally mounted on its periphery. The cam surface tilts the cups from a raised loading position, to a horizontal viewing position, to a lowered ejection position. A loading zone includes means for loading an individual item into a respective cup. A viewing zone has camera means for optically viewing individual items as each rolls through the cup, producing an output signal corresponding to reflectivity characteristics. Computer means compares the output signal to predetermined values and produces a corresponding ejection signal. A re-direction zone includes plural ejectors, whereby a selected one of the ejectors ejects the item out its cup in response to an ejection signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of turf reinforcement mats that include spun yarns and/or multifilament yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

Abstract: A panoramic image system with parallax mitigation includes image sensors, a head tracker, a display, and a processor. Each image sensor is fixedly mounted a predetermined linear distance from a first reference axis and is disposed adjacent to at least one other image sensor and to point in a direction that is offset from its adjacent image sensor by a predetermined angle. The head tracker is configured to sense at least the angular position and movement direction of a viewer's head about a second reference axis and to supply an azimuth position signal representative thereof. The display is configured to selectively display images sensed by each of the image sensors. The processor is in operable communication with the image sensors, head tracker, and display. The processor is configured, based at least on the azimuth position signal, to command the display to display images sensed by only one image sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing supplemental content in relation to embedded media. In one implementation, a processing device receives a media request from a third-party platform to incorporate a first media item within the third-party platform. The processing device identifies one or more additional media items based on the media request. The processing device provides the first media item and one or more links to at least one of the one or more additional media items in relation to the third-party platform.
