20160063750 | Stop-Motion Video Creation From Full-Motion Video - In embodiments of stop-motion video creation from full-motion video, a video of an animation sequence is filmed with a video camera that captures an animation object and manipulations to interact with the animation object. Motion frames of the video are determined, where the motion frames depict motion as the manipulations to interact with the animation object. The motion frames may also depict other motion, other than the manipulations to interact with the animation object, where the other motion is also captured when the video is filmed. The motion frames that depict the motion in the video are discarded, leaving static frames that depict the animation object without any detectable motion. A frame sequence of the static frames can then be generated as a stop-motion video that depicts the animation object to appear moving or created without the manipulations. | 03-03-2016 |

20110197207 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AUDIT TRAILS - Business Processes handle business transactions. The life cycle of a transaction is controlled by state of the process and events. Events represent information exchange between systems. The states determine when the exchange should take place. Key issues are to identify whether a transaction is anomalous and if so, determining the trace to the root cause To detect anomalies, current approaches evaluate transaction data statistically. To validate whether the transaction is indeed anomalous requires significant storage, processing power and human resources. The new approach audits events as they happen against the business process definition. Events that do not follow the right sequences and conditions of the process definition are identified to be anomalous. The generated audit trail traces the root cause of the transaction anomaly. Businesses can now protect or re-engineer their strategic business processes using audit trail traces. | 08-11-2011 |
