20100176582 | Book containing model components combinable to form a model - A book includes a model assembly made from a plurality of model components attached to respective pages. The model can be a human body or anything desired. When the book is closed, the model components combine to form a completely assembled model assembly. When the book is open, and as a reader turns each page, the model components attached to the respective page separate from the model assembly revealing other components that remain combined to form a partially assembled model assembly. The components can be fixedly or hingedly attached to respective pages with connectors. If hingedly attached, the model components can be separated from the model assembly without turning a respective page. | 07-15-2010 |
20140273707 | TOY SYSTEM FOR DEMOLISHING A TOY STRUCTURE, AND RELATED METHODS - A toy system for demolishing a toy structure comprises a plurality of panels combinable to form a toy structure, a device for displacing one or more of the panels that have been combined to form a toy structure, and a controller for triggering the device. The device of the toy system is positionable anywhere relative to the toy structure, and includes a ram that is forced against a panel to displace the panel. The ram may be a variety of different sizes, and the device may include any number of rams. The toy system allows a user to knock down an assembled toy structure in many different ways by varying the number of devices used, the number of rams per device engaged, the velocity of each ram, and the position of the device, as well as other factors. | 09-18-2014 |

20130163834 | Systems and Methods for Collecting Medical Images - Disclosed herein are systems and methods for collecting a plurality of medical images. According to one embodiment, a system may include an image acquisition unit to acquire image data, a processing unit to process the image data, a workflow unit to receive a selection of a primary workflow, and an insertion unit to suspend the workflow system. The insertion unit may receive a second selection of a secondary workflow. Upon the completion of the collection of the second plurality of medical images, the workflow unit may resume the collection of the first plurality of medical images. According to certain embodiments, the primary workflow or the secondary workflow may specify an order for collecting a primary and secondary plurality of medical images. Annotations may be added to the plurality of images based on the primary workflow and/or the secondary workflow. | 06-27-2013 |

20090074235 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING BOOKMARK VIDEO FINGERPRINTS - Systems and methods for replacing original media bookmarks of at least a portion of a digital media file with replacement bookmarks is described. A media fingerprint engine detects the location of the original fingerprints associated with the portion of the digital media file and a region analysis algorithm characterizes regions of media file spanning the location of the original bookmarks by data class types. The replacement bookmarks are associated with the data class types and are overwritten or otherwise are substituted for the original bookmarks. The replacement bookmarks then are subjected to a fingerprint matching algorithm that incorporates media timeline and media related metadata. | 03-19-2009 |
20090077471 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A WEBSITE CONTAINING VIDEO PLAYLISTS AS INPUT TO A DOWNLOAD MANAGER - Systems and methods for enabling the download of a set of media files with a specific order and specific contents and, more particularly, to enabling a download manager to automatically receive the information it requires to retrieve those elements required to replicate a streaming edit through local playback after the downloads complete. | 03-19-2009 |
20090097815 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL VIDEO EDITING, TAGGING, AND INDEXING - A system and method for having a media engine, client, workflow engine and server. The media engine takes digital or analog real-time video or video-on-demand as an input. Clients connect to the media engine, workflow engine and server. Depending on the client's capabilities, including software features, training and location, the workflow engine will drive required units of work to the client asking them to be fulfilled. This system enables efficient offline, real-time or faster than real-time editing, tagging and indexing of media by one or more clients at the same time. Unlimited numbers of users, tags and indexing functions to take place in parallel on a single video feed at the same time and managed through a rule based workflow engine. | 04-16-2009 |
