| 20110119332 | MOVEMENT ANIMATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - The invention relates to methods and apparatus for movement animation of a user-controlled entity in a virtual environment. Entity tracking data is stored on a server in order to track movement of the entity in the virtual environment. A user may input a desired action for their entity via a client, which is transmitted from the client to the server. The server uses the received data to select an appropriate animation for the entity. The server then transmits data identifying the selected animation to the client, thus controlling animation of the entity on the client. By using animation data to simulate movement of the entity, along with keeping an accurate representation of the movement of the entity in the virtual environment, the server may control the entity accurately and therefore animation of the entity may be more realistic. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080286581 | Thin-layer lignocellulose composites having increased resistance to moisture and methods of making the same - A method to produce thin-layer lignocellulosic composites, such as wood-based doorskins, that exhibit substantial resistance to moisture is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes the steps of forming a mixture including a refined lignocellulosic fiber, wax, and an organic isocyanate resin. The mixture is initially pressed to form a loose mat. Subsequently, the mat is pressed between two dies at an elevated temperature and pressure to further reduce the thickness of the mat and to promote the interaction of the resin with the lignocellulosic fibers. In an embodiment, a release agent is included as part of the fiber mixture, or sprayed onto the surface of the mat. The thin-layer lignocellulosic composites of the present invention exhibit strong surface strength, high adhesiveness, and a 50% reduction in linear expansion and thickness swelling upon exposure to a high moisture environment as compared to thin-layer composites that do not include the isocyanate resin. | 11-20-2008 |
