A method for using an in-message application. The method includes: receiving a broadcast message; identifying, in the broadcast message, a reference to an external data provider; obtaining an identifier of the in-message application from the external data provider; using the identifier to identify a set of components of the in-message application, where placement of the set of components is defined by a visual structure of the in-message application, and where each of the set of components is a user interface (UI) element; associating data obtained from the external data provider with a component of the set of components; and serving the broadcast message and the data to a consumer client, where the consumer client renders the in-message application based on the visual structure.

Rendering messages having an in-message application

Various embodiments disclose an in-message application facilitating the use of third-party application programming interfaces (APIs). In particular, these in-message applications (referred to as 'cards') may be designed by a developer to access third-party API functionality. A user may then create a message referencing, e.g., a web address associated with the developer's card. The system may receive the user's message and recognize the reference. The system may then distribute an instantiation of the card to various recipients, the instantiation including elements generated using, or providing the user access to, the third party functionality.

A system for analyzing a bi-directional communication path connecting a headend station to a remote station. The communication path is used for sending and receiving messages. Messages in a forward direction are sent by modulating a carrier at a forward frequency, and messages sent in a return direction are sent by modulating a carrier at a return frequency. The system includes a headend unit which sends a sign-on message in the forward direction from the headend station. The headend unit monitors the return frequency for a response message and measures a power level for signals received at the return frequency during the monitoring operation. The headend unit sends an error message in the forward direction if no response message is received on the return frequency, and the power level is greater than a threshold value. If an error message is sent, the power spectrum in a frequency range including the return frequency is measured and sent as part of the error message. If no response message is detected and the power level is less than threshold, the sign-on message is repeated.

An invalid bed arrangement with bed pan facility including a bed frame. Also included is a seat assembly for allowing a user to be selectively uprighted. The seat assembly further has a bottom portion with U-shaped cut out formed in an end thereof. Further provided is a leg rest assembly adapted to be selectively positioned remote the seat assembly. The leg rest assembly comprises a U-shaped protrusion, whereby the leg rest assembly may be maneuvered between a first orientation with the leg rest situated adjacent the seat assembly and the U-shaped protrusion thereof engaging the U-shaped cut out of the bottom portion of the seat assembly and a second orientation with the leg rest situated distant the seat assembly. Finally, a bed pan is situated adjacent the U-shaped cut out of the bottom portion of the seat assembly.

A system for collecting gas generated in an anaerobic pond which is covered by an insulated cover. The system includes a series of gas collection pipes which are laid on top of and are secured to the panel units of the insulated cover and a solid cover which fits over the top of the collection pipes.

A compact disc marking apparatus 10 comprising a top portion 12, a bottom portion 14 attached with a pivot or shaft 16 to the top portion 12, and a locking handle 18. A recess 12-2 receives the handle 18 when it is vertically rotated to a lowered position, when marking a disc. The bottom portion 14 comprises a first recess 14-1 and a second recess 14-2. The locking handle 18 comprises a lever member 18-1, an engaging/compression member 18-2, a flanged engaging member 18-3 (FIG. 2 ), a pivot 18-4 (FIG. 6 ), a flanged portion 18-5, and a rounded portion 18-6 (FIG. 9 ).

Compact disc marking apparatus

The invention contemplates a self-contained unit wherein a continuous flow of contaminated liquid, such as steam-plant condensate recycled as feedwater, may be processed on an on-line basis through a replaceable demineralizing resin bed and through a replaceable filter cartridge. The disclosed configuration incorporates two cylindrical chambers within a single housing. Flow for demineralizing purposes is directed downwardly through the resin bed in the space between chambers, and the thus-demineralized flow is then directed upward through the filter cartridge in the inner chamber.

Filter/demineralizer unit

A system for the remote visual inspection of a structure including two vessels, one disposed within the otherand defining an annulus therebetween. A guide member is provided circumferentially about an upper periphery of the two vessels. Mounted on the guide member are two motor-driven, diametrically opposed trolleys which support a flexible track member which extends downwardly through the annulus from one of the trolleys and back up the other side of the annulus to the other trolley. At least one motor-driven carrige is mounted on the track member and carries a camera and light source. By appropriate positioning of the trolleys and the carriage, all the surfaces of the vessels defining the annulus are accessible for visual inspection by the camera. In accordance with a particular preferred embodiment, markers are placed at preselected points in the annulus on one of the vessels to permit verification of the location of the camera and carriage. Advantageously, the markers are in the form of a preselected pattern to provide verification of the clarity of the image being transmitted by the camera. In accordance with another preferred embodiment, the system further includes means for recording signals received from the camera and simultaneously recording the position of the camera.
