A method of dispensing customized hemp extract tinctures includes dispensing at least one of multiple cannabinoid isolate solutions and an inactive carrier oil into a tincture container by way of calibrated dispensers and sealing the tincture container.

Method for dispensing customized hemp extract tinctures

In some embodiments, a method receives a distribution area identifier for media content. A distribution area is defined by one or more geographic primitives and associated with a distribution area identifier. A geographic primitive is defined by one or more location identifiers. The method determines whether the one or more geographic primitives of the media content is applicable to a geographic primitive that is determined from a location identifier associated with a request.

Geo-fencing of media content using distribution areas in a database

In some embodiments, a method receives a plurality of distribution areas. A distribution area is defined by one or more geographic primitives and associated with a distribution area identifier. Also, a geographic primitive is defined by one or more location identifiers. The method stores distribution area identifiers for the plurality of distribution areas in a first data structure. Information for media content is received and the method generates a content bundle for the media content based on the information for the media content. The content bundle is associated with a distribution area identifier and metadata that describes characteristics of the media content. The content bundle is stored in a second data structure.

An operator's proximity to an automotive vehicle being inspected is tracked and recorded. An audio and/or a visual representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected, inspection zones, and components within the inspection zones are rendered. A representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected is updated to reflect a condition of the vehicle being inspected, a condition of the inspection zones, and the numbers of defects for each of inspection zones. The audio and visual representations shown as part of any defects of the vehicle being inspected may be recorded. During a vehicle inspection, a visual indication of a driver's location in proximity to a visual representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected may be displayed.

In one embodiment, a method defines a plurality of geographic primitives. A geographic primitive is defined by one or more location identifiers. A plurality of distribution areas are generated where a distribution area is defined by one or more of the geographic primitives. The method assigns one of the distribution areas to each of a plurality of pieces of media content. Then, the method stores the assigned one of the plurality of distribution areas for each of the plurality of pieces of media content in a database. One or more of the plurality of pieces of media content are published with the assigned one of the distribution areas. The assigned one of the distribution areas is usable to determine which media content in the one or more of the plurality of pieces of media content is available to users.

Media content publication using distribution areas in a database

In one embodiment, a method defines a plurality of geographic primitives that are defined by one or more location identifiers. A plurality of distribution areas are generated where a distribution area is defined by one or more of the geographic primitives. The method assigns one of the plurality of distribution areas to each of a plurality of pieces of media content. A request is received from a client device that is associated with a location identifier. The method performs a reverse lookup query to a database using a geo-mapping service to retrieve a set of distribution areas that include a geographical primitive associated with the location identifier and selects one or more pieces of media content from the plurality of pieces of media content. Information for at least a portion of the one or more pieces of media content is then provided to the client device.

In one embodiment, a method receives a request for a channel offered by a video delivery service from a user and generates user information for the user. In response to receiving the request, the method sends a query to a database to retrieve a bundle that includes an audience definition that matches the user information. A bundle identifies a source stream for a program and only one bundle for a time slot is returned for the query from multiple bundles for the channel that exist for the time slot. A manifest is constructed for the channel using the bundle where the manifest identifies content from the source stream of the bundle. The method then provides portions of the manifest to a client device for the user to allow the client device to request content from the source stream for the channel.

Generation of a manifest including a list of links for video segments in linear video communication

In one embodiment, a method receives information describing programs for a channel over multiple time slots. Audience definitions are generated for the programs defining parameters for selecting a respective source stream for delivery to users. A bundle is stored for each audience definition. A request is received for the channel from a user. The method then generates a viewer definition for the user based on a current status of the user, wherein the viewer definition includes user information for the user. In response to receiving the request, a manifest is constructed for the channel using a set of bundles that includes audience definitions that match the viewer definition. Only one bundle per time slot is selected for the manifest. Portions of the manifest are provided to a client device to allow the client device to request content from the channel.

A volumetric apparatus for portioning fluidic material into fractions of predetermined size includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet, and a piston movable in the housing and defining a product portioning chamber and a compression chamber. Fluidic material is fed into the product portioning chamber through the inlet under pressure when the inlet is open and the outlet is closed, the pressurized fluidic material forcing the piston from a first position by a preset distance such that a predetermined volume of the fluidic material is fed into the product portioning chamber. Thereafter, the piston is driven from the second position to the first position when the inlet is closed and the outlet is open so as to deliver the portioned fluidic material from the product portioning chamber through the outlet. A storage chamber is provided which is in communication with the compression chamber so the pneumatic fluid is transferred from the compression chamber to the storage chamber under pressure when the piston is forced from the first position to the second position and is transferred from the storage chamber to the compression chamber under pressure when the inlet is closed and the outlet is open, thus driving the piston to the first position as the fluid is transferred under pressure to the compression chamber. The housing may be lifted from the valve to facilitate cleaning of the valve and housing when the portioning operation is complete, and a method of carrying out the portioning operation is also disclosed.
