Publication number: 20240086462Abstract: The present invention discloses a new method for analyzing, modifying, and distributing digital images and video in a quick, efficient, practical and/or cost-effective way. The method of processing video can take a different region or object and replace the pixels in the frames of the scenes that comprise the features and characteristics of the identified region or object with a different set of pixels. The replacement or other customizations of the frames and scenes lead to a naturally integrated video or image which is indistinguishable by the human eye or other visual system. In one embodiment, this invention can be used to provide different advertising elements into an image or set of images for different viewers, or to enable a viewer to control elements within a video and add their own preference or other elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: David M. Ludwigsen, Dirk Dewar Brown, Mark Bradshaw

Patent number: 10994076Abstract: In various embodiments, a drainage device includes an inner lumen configured for draining fluid from a target site and one or more outer lumens for transmitting dilution fluid to the inner lumen. According to one embodiment, the drainage device includes one or more eyelets and/or a distal opening through which the fluid from the target site enters the inner lumen. In one or more embodiments, the dilution fluid is transmitted to the inner lumen through one or more ports that may output the dilution fluid directly into the inner lumen or into the eyelet. According to one embodiment, as the fluid from the target site flows through the drainage device, the dilution fluid reduces clotting processes such that formation of blockages within the inner lumen is prevented or at least reduced. In some embodiments, the dilution fluid is substituted with, or provided in addition to, pharmaceutical solutions or other infusions.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: CIRCULATECH, LLCInventors: Jake Tyler Pardell-Pistiner, Stephen McClain, Rachel Malvagomes, Kathleen Ana Gonzalez, Carson Daniel Schaff, Amirah Suleiman, Nicholas Paul Bello, Sara Budar, David Bradshaw Pearlstone
