Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090123025METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MEASURE BRAND EXPOSURE IN MEDIA STREAMS - Methods and apparatus to measure brand exposure in media streams are disclosed. An example method to determine brand exposures included in media content disclosed herein comprises determining whether a scene detected from a media stream corresponding to the media content matches a reference scene, identifying an expected region of interest in the detected scene based on information describing the reference scene when the detected scene is determined to match the reference scene and the reference scene is not specified to be a scene of no interest, and determining whether a reference brand identifier associated with the reference scene is included in the expected region of interest identified in the detected scene.05-14-2009
20090123069METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SPECIFY REGIONS OF INTEREST IN VIDEO FRAMES - Methods and apparatus to specify regions of interest in video frames are disclosed. An example disclosed method comprises determining an initial template region to represent a region of interest whose location is based on a first point selected in a graphical presentation, determining a first modification to perform on the initial template region in response to a second point selected in the graphical presentation, detecting the second selected point in the graphical presentation, and reshaping the initial template region toward the second selected point, the reshaping corresponding to the first modification, the reshaping being performed in response to detecting the second selected point without also requiring the user to select any point substantially on the boundary defining the initial template region to initiate the reshaping.05-14-2009

20080300786SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING MEDIA - A removable media tracking apparatus that is used to track a media case containing at least one data storage device is provided. The apparatus includes a removable media storage enclosure configured to be positioned within the media case, and a tracking device hardware positioned within the removable media storage enclosure. The tracking device hardware is operable to provide a geographical location of the media storage enclosure. A media tracking system is also provided. The system includes a media case, a plurality of media enclosures configured to be positioned within the media case, a data storage device contained in at least one of the media enclosures, a tracking device hardware contained in at least one of the media enclosures, and a tracking software program. The tracking device hardware is operable to communicate a geographical location of the media case to the tracking software program.12-04-2008

20090216217METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR LASER TREATMENT OF PRESBYOPIA USING OFFSET IMAGING - An ophthalmic surgery system and method for treating presbyopia by performing ablative photodecomposition of the corneal surface. The offset image of a variable aperture, such as a variable width slit and variable diameter iris diaphragm, is scanned in a preselected pattern to perform ablative sculpting of predetermined portions of a corneal surface. The scanning is performed to ablate an optical zone sized to match the patient pupil with a peripheral transition zone outside the pupil. The shape of the ablated optical zone is different from the shape of the final optical correction on the anterior surface of the cornea. The optical zone corrects for near-vision centrally and far-vision peripherally. A movable image displacement mechanism enables radial displacement and angular rotation of the profiled beam exiting from the variable aperture. The invention enables wide area treatment with a laser having a narrower beam than the treatment area, and can be used in the treatment of many conditions in conjunction with presbyopia such as hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism and irregular refractive aberrations.08-27-2009

20080276763NO MESS OIL FILTER REMOVAL TOOL - An oil filter removal tool includes a member for providing a reservoir to capture leakage oil as the oil filter is removed from a vehicle.11-13-2008
20080279695Enhanced turbine airfoil cooling - The ends of cooling air passages in turbine blades and/or vanes of a gas turbine engine are provided with turbulation promoters to enhance the cooling of such structures as inner and outer shrouds and the like to accommodate thermal loads thereon.11-13-2008
20080286995TWO-PLUG ELECTRICAL OUTLET WITH DUAL VOLTAGE - A unique arrangement includes a duplex receptacle outlet providing two voltages. A first power wire supplying a first voltage is connected to the receptacle supplying a higher voltage. A second power wire is connected to both receptacles, and a neutral wire is connected to the receptacle supplying a lower voltage. In this manner, a standard electrical outlet need only be modified such that the receptacle has its plug interface modified to receive a standard higher voltage.11-20-2008
20090013627Insulated Supports - Insulated supports are provided. In this regard, representative insulated support includes: a framing member having opposing faces and opposing sidewalls extending between the faces, the framing member further having a cutout positioned along a length thereof; and an insulated plug sized and shaped to be received within the cutout such that the insulated plug, when inserted into the cutout, increases an insulation (R) value of the support.01-15-2009
20100266361High Temperature Thread Locking Compound - An assembly includes a threaded hole, a threaded fastener, and a locking compound. The threaded fastener is positioned in the threaded hole with a portion of fastener threads mated with a corresponding portion of hole threads. The locking compound is between the mated fastener threads and hole threads. The locking compound includes an aluminum pigmented compound suspended in a water-based inorganic binder.10-21-2010

20110147134METHOD OF HANDLING PASSENGER REQUESTS DURING ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION - An exemplary elevator system includes a first controller configured to recognize a hall call signal that indicates a passenger's desire to board an elevator car at a particular landing. The first controller is associated with at least one elevator car for assigning a hall call request to that elevator car. A second controller is configured to recognize a destination request that indicates a passenger's desire to be carried to a particular level. The destination request originates outside of an elevator car. The second controller is associated with at least one elevator car for assigning a destination request to that elevator car. The second controller is configured to determine whether a selected condition will be satisfied if a received destination request is serviced by an elevator car associated with the second controller. The second controller handles the received destination request in that manner if the condition will be satisfied. A cross dispatcher is configured to communicate with the second controller and to handle the destination request. If the condition will not be satisfied, the cross dispatcher provides an indication of a hall call signal corresponding to the received destination request to the first controller.06-23-2011
