A non-interactive screen sharing session executing within a computing device can be identified. The device can be communicatively linked to different computing devices of the screen sharing session. The contents of the remote screen buffer can be analyzed to determine a graphical representation of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the contents prior to presenting the contents of the buffer within the device. A visible information item can be extracted and a non-visible reference can be established from the representation. An area surrounding the representation including a position and dimensions of the representation within the contents can be determined. The representation of the URL can be replaced with an interactive element in real-time. The element can include the visible and non-visible reference. The contents of the buffer can be presented within an interface associated with the session of the device, responsive to the replacing.

A method and system for searching alternative data sources include monitoring a first communications source broadcasting unstructured data, and a second communications source broadcasting structured data. The method further includes generating text from the unstructured data and from the structured data collected, and parsing the generated text. The method also includes defining a search phrase, and analyzing the generated or parsed text for semantically relevant text in relation to the search phrase. The method also includes selecting the semantically relevant text.

Searching alternative data sources

An approach is provided in which an emergency electrical distribution system detects an environmental alert invoked by an environmental sensor located in a particular location of building structure. The emergency electrical distribution system selects specific electrical source connections in proximity to the environmental sensor and, in turn, terminates electrical power to selected specific electrical source connections.

Providing electricity to essential equipment during an emergency

In one embodiment, an add-on storing or organizing embodiment comprises a compartment that comprises a lower surface, one or more walls coupled to a perimeter of the lower surface, and a cavity defined at least in part by the lower surface and the one or more walls. The compartment further comprises an upper surface formed substantially opposite the lower surface of the compartment. The compartment is configured to fit into a hard motorcycle saddlebag. One or more storing and/or organizing components are further contained in the compartment's formed cavity comprising of at least one or more pre-arranged spaces for holding articles. The upper surface may be substantially open to facilitate placing and/or removing of articles. Other embodiments and related storing and organizing methods and manufacturing methods are also disclosed herein.

Add-on storing and organizing compartment for motorcycle hard saddlebags

At least two card games (i.e., multi-card games) are played tournament style to determine at least one winner, or the best card player or team of players. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, three card games are played tournament style to determine the best card player. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the three card games include poker (e.g., Seven Card Stud, Texas Hold-Em, etc.), rummy (e.g., Gin Rummy, etc.), and bridge (e.g., Whist, Auction Bridge, Contract Bridge, etc.). In one embodiment of the present invention, the tournament includes a plurality of individual or team players. Scores in each game are used to rank players (e.g., best individual poker player, best poker team, etc.) and to determine the best overall card player (e.g., by adding the scores together, etc.). Prizes may then be distributed to the overall best card player, the overall second best card player, the best poker player, the best rummy player, the best bridge player, etc.

A battery charger for a charging marine batteries in a boat with an automobile while the boat is being towed behind the automobile. The battery charger connects the automobile's charging system to the boat's batteries. The charger causes the boat's batteries to be cyclically charged and monitored to prevent the automobile electrical system from overcharging the boat's batteries.

Battery charger

An electric light display assembly for displaying electric lights which contains at least two rods and electric lights removably connected to the rods. A connector located between the rods engages each of the rods. Each of the rods contains a top rail section which, optionally, may contain an orifice. A wall located within the connector limits the extent to which the rods can be inserted into the connector.
