20090102861SYSTEM COMPOSITING IMAGES FROM MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS - A system for compositing images using a multilayer graphics controller includes first and second applications. The first application defines masked display regions to a layer of the multilayer graphics controller using masking criterion. The second application provides an image to a further layer of the multilayer graphics controller for display in the masked region. The image may be a still image, streaming video, Internet image, or any other image type.04-23-2009
20090195556SYSTEM COMPOSITING IMAGES FROM MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS - A system compositing images from different applications includes a movie clip based application, an image application, and a compositing application that is in communication with the movie clip based application and the image application. The movie clip based application defines one or more movie clip images for display. The image application provides one or more images for display with the one or more movie clip images. The compositing application operates to composite the one or more movie clip images with the one or more images of the image application for viewing on a display.08-06-2009
20110050688METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TRANSPARENT ACCESS TO HARDWARE GRAPHIC LAYERS - The present invention relates generally to computer graphics, and more specifically to methods of, and systems for, configuring, controlling and accessing multiple hardware graphics layers that are used to compose a single video display. One aspect of the invention is broadly defined as follows: in a computer environment including a software application and an operating system running on a computer, the computer including a graphics card and a video display, the graphics card being operable to render images to the video display, the improvement comprising: the operating system including a universal application programming interface (API) which supports hardware layers on graphics cards; the operating system being operable to: receive draw events via the universal API; determine what hardware layers are available on the graphics card, and what their parameters are; and respond to draw requests from the software application by rendering the draw requests selectively to any of the available hardware layers on the graphics card; whereby the computer environment allows software applications to exploit available hardware layers on the graphics card.03-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110034676ANTI-SIALIC ACID ANTIBODY MOLECULES - A method of generating and isolating a recombinant high affinity anti-sialic acid antibody molecule comprises the steps of immunising a host with an immunogen comprising a conjugate of sialic acid and a carrier protein to generate an anti-sialic acid polyclonal serum, isolating a sample of RNA from the immunised avian host, and generating and screening of a library of recombinant antibody molecules from the RNA sample, and isolating a recombinant high affinity anti-sialic acid antibody molecule. The antibody molecule is selected from the group consisting of: whole antibodies; scFv fragments; and Fab fragments, and the host is 02-10-2011

20110074951UTILIZING PRESENCE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENHANCED SURVEILLANCE - Surveillance system endpoints communicate with each other to send and receive presence information. The surveillance endpoints may react to the received presence information. For example, if one surveillance camera stops functioning, one or more other cameras can react to the presence information, or lack thereof, sent from the malfunctioning camera. Thus, one or more of the other cameras can cover the area normally covered by the malfunctioning camera. Thus, the surveillance endpoints can automatically react to presence events in a network of surveillance endpoints.03-31-2011

20100326940SHELVING SYSTEM - The present invention provides in one aspect a shelving system which comprises a plurality of uprights and a plurality of shelves, wherein at least one anchoring device is provided that extends rearwardly from an upright of the anchoring system to anchor under a skirting board. The uprights suitably also have base ends that, from rear to front of the shelving system, slope downwardly whereby the floor-standing shelving system leans rearwardly to lean in toward a wall. This system is ideally suited for ease of assembly and installation by, for example, tenants who have no tools for furniture assembly and drilling of walls and often have no permission to drill walls of their rented house or apartment.12-30-2010

20090061545Edge Removal Of Silicon-On-Insulator Transfer Wafer - A silicon-on-insulator transfer wafer having a front surface with a circumferential lip around a circular recess is polished. In one version, the circular recess on the front surface of the wafer is masked by filling the recess with spin-on-glass. The front surface of the wafer is exposed to an etchant to preferentially etch away the circumferential lip, while the circular recess is masked by the spin-on-glass. The spin-on glass is removed, and the front surface of the transfer wafer is polished. Other methods of removing the circumferential lip include applying a higher pressure to the circumferential lip in a polishing process, and directing a pressurized fluid jet at the base of the circumferential lip.03-05-2009
