Abstract:

A social event is generated by a computer having a data processor in signal communication with a memory. Initially, each user of a plurality of users is associated with a respective user location, a respective user time window, and at least one respective user interest. The computer then determines a common interest group, the common interest group comprising a subgroup of the plurality of users having user locations that collectively exceed a predetermined geographic density, overlapping user time windows, and a common user interest. After determining the common interest group, the computer proceeds to determine a venue and a meeting time for the social event. The computer then transmits the venue and meeting time to at least a portion of the users within the common interest group.

Abstract:

An apparatus for conveniently organizing, storing, and transporting elongate objects such as pipe nipples is described. The apparatus includes a bucket, within which an upper tray is suspended above a lower tray by a pillar. Holes in the upper tray align with holes in the lower tray. When an elongate object is passed through these holes, flexible tabs on each of the holes act to firmly grip the object so that it remains safely vertical in the bucket. At the same time, projections on the perimeters of the upper and lower trays act to stop the trays from moving inside the bucket.
