Various embodiments that pertain to device software is described. A decision can be made by a device on if the device should download an update for device software, such as a software patch. When the device decides that it should download the update, the device can download the appropriate update. In one example, the update can be downloaded by way of a patch portal that communicates with a patch database. The device can request the patch for the software and in response the device can be provided access to the patch by way of the patch portal.

Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing a system, method, and computer program product for integrating with a social media site, which can be used to create and configure a custom audience on the social media site.

Method and system for integrating audience data with a social media site

A fire log system for providing an efficient corn based fuel that is burnable within conventional fireplaces. The fire log system includes a housing having a front opening, a volume of particulate corn within the interior of the housing, a plurality of corn cobs within the front opening of the housing for retaining the particulate corn, and a plurality of retaining members secured about the front opening. The housing with the corn cobs and particulate corn is preferably dipped within a wax material after formed. A wick member preferably is positioned within the front opening for assisting in the lighting of the fire log system.

Fire log system

A log system for providing a log system that is easy to light which burns longer and cleaner than conventional logs. The log system includes a housing comprised of a flammable material and a plurality of corn kernels contained within the housing which provide fuel to a fire. A copper member may be included within the housing for adding visual effects to the flame. A securing string may be attached about the housing for securing the housing in one piece.

Log system

An air powered gun system for allowing a user to fire large projectiles at extremely high velocities by utilizing a conventional air pump. The inventive device includes a stock, a barrel attached to the stock, an air valve connected to the rear end of the barrel, an air chamber connected to the air valve opposite of the barrel, a conventional valve stem attached to the air chamber a trigger lever connected to the air valve, a spring connected to the trigger lever, and a loading shaft for loading a standard projectile or a lighted projectile. A pressure gauge may also be attached to the air chamber to show the pressure within the air chamber. The user inserts the standard projectile or the lighted projectile into the rear portion of the barrel by utilizing the loading shaft. A conventional air pump is removably connectable with the valve stem of the air chamber for inputting pressurized air into the air chamber. The air chamber is designed to receive air pressures that a conventional air pump is capable of inputting. The user removes the conventional air pump after the desired amount of air pressure is inputted and the user then manipulates the trigger lever to release the air pressure within the air chamber into the barrel thereby projecting the standard projectile or lighted projectile.

Air powered gun system

A sewage filtration system for efficiently filtering sewage waste material from smaller residential areas without the use of expensive sewage treatment plants. The inventive device includes a conventional septic tank connected to each building structure's sewage system, a pair of fluidly connected two compartment tanks connected to the conventional septic tanks, and a final phase filtering tank fluidly connected to the pair of two compartment tanks. The final phase filtering tank comprises a tank, a cover, an inlet tube, an outlet tube, a first tube connected to the outlet tube, a second tube fluidly connected to the first tube wherein the second tube is water permeable, at least one sand or gravel layer above the second tube, a layered filter structure above the sand or gravel layer that receives the filtered liquid from the inlet tube. A half plug with drain apertures within the lower portion thereof is preferably utilized upon the inlet tube to slow the disbursement of the filtered liquid upon the layered filter structure. The layered filter and the first tube provide increased aeration of the filtered liquid. A chlorination line may be connected to the first tube to chlorinate the filtered liquid prior to leaving the outlet line. The purified liquid that is emitted from the outlet tube may be dispersed into the soil surrounding the final phase filtering tank because of the high filtering process without fear of contaminating the ground water or surrounding land.

Sewage filtration system

A self-filling birdbath system for utilizing rainwater collected within a conventional rain gutter system to fill and clean a birdbath. The inventive device includes a birdbath, a collection tube connectable to a drain spout of a rain gutter, an elbow tube coupled with the collection tube, a transporting tube coupled to the elbow tube opposite of the collection tube, and a fill tube coupled to the transporting tube and extending through the birdbath above the rim of the basin. Rainwater is accumulated within the rain gutter and is drained through the drain spout. The rainwater is then forced through the transporting tube through the fill tube and out a dispensing end where the water dispensed into the basin. The rainwater is agitated within the basin of the birdbath thereby cleaning the basin when the water level within the basin exceeds the rim of the basin.
