20090080801 | ALTERING THE APPEARANCE OF A DIGITAL IMAGE USING A SHAPE - Technologies are described herein for altering the appearance of a digital image using a shape. A mask edit mode of operation is provided in which an application program displays a mask shape superimposed on a digital image. The application program also provides user interface controls for altering the size, position, and rotation of the digital image independently of the mask shape, and user interface controls for altering the size, position, and rotation of the mask shape independently of the digital image. When a cropping request is received, the portion of the digital image within the mask shape is mapped onto the mask shape, thereby creating a mask-cropped shape, and a normal editing mode is entered. In the normal editing mode a set of user interface controls is provided for modifying the size, position, and rotation of the mask-cropped shape. | 03-26-2009 |

20100158379 | IMAGE BACKGROUND REMOVAL - A request is received to enter a background removal mode. A marquee is displayed for specifying a portion of an image to be provided to a foreground extraction engine (“FEA”). The portion of the image defined by the marquee is provided to the FEA. The FEA identifies the foreground and returns it to the application program. The image is displayed with the foreground distinguished from the background. If the marquee is re-sized or re-positioned, the portion of the image defined by the marquee is provided to the FEA. A line segment may be drawn over the background to define a portion of the image for inclusion in the foreground. A line segment may also be drawn over the foreground to define a portion of the image for inclusion in the background. Upon exit of the background removal mode, only the foreground of the image is displayed. | 06-24-2010 |

20140369826 | TORNADO WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM WIND TURBINE - A Vertical-Axis Double-Ducted Vortex-Diffuser-Augmented Wind Turbine comprises an apparatus further comprising a large, hollow, cylindrical tower with external fixed, wind concentrating cowlings and internal hinged, wind inlet vanes. The cowlings are large curved sections that extend outward from the cylindrical tower and perform two functions: 1) capture the wind, entraining it into a tower's core on an upwind side of the tower; and 2) shade a downwind side of the cylindrical tower from the wind, creating a negative pressure on downwind inlet vanes. The inlet vanes extend into the tower's cylindrical core, automatically opening to allow the wind to enter on the upwind side of the tower and automatically close on the downwind side of the cylindrical tower. By working together the external cowlings and internal inlet vanes enable the cylindrical tower to capture and entrain the wind stream into a contained tornado-like vortex. | 12-18-2014 |
