Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for testing video data being rendered at or using a media device. A plurality of video frames to be rendered is received, each frame comprising one or more primary screen objects and at least one further screen object. The received frames are rendered at or using the media device wherein the at least one further screen object is superimposed on the one or more primary screen objects of a given frame during rendering. The rendered frames are provided to a data model. Extracted metadata indicating the presence or absence of further screen objects in the rendered video frames is the output of the data model. The data model is also provided with original metadata associated with the video frames prior to rendering. The rendering of each further screen object is then tested based on the original metadata and extracted metadata relating to a given video frame.

Abstract: A Cannabinoid emulsion composition includes Vitamin E TPGS, a Cannabinoid, and a Carrier Oil, in the absence of water, heated and mixed in such proportions that the composition forms nano or micro sized micelles when ingested. The composition may be formed via a first step of heating the Vitamin E TPGS, a Cannabinoid, and a Carrier Oil to 30-100 degrees Celsius (86-212 degrees Fahrenheit), while mixing, for 10-20 minutes, then allowed to cool, while mixing, until an emulsion is formed.

Abstract: A method for forming an emulsion containing a cannabinoid includes the steps of first providing a composition comprising water, vitamin E TPGS, a cannabinoid, and a carrier oil, in a high pressure container. The composition is initially opaque. The composition is then heated to a temperature between 50-120 degrees Celsius, the heating increasing the pressure in the high pressure container to greater than 1 ATM. The high pressure container is then cooled, while mixing, until the composition turns clear, and a micelle water emulsion is formed with particles under 100 nm in particle size.

Abstract: The bird protection apparatus of the present invention provides an improved way to deter bird and animals from perching or resting on structures by physically blocking them from landing upon the structure. Furthermore, the bird protection apparatus is a low-profile and minimalistic design made to not distract the viewer from viewing the key attributes of the structure. The bird protection apparatus includes a main body, a vertical member, a main cross member, and an attachment assembly. In some embodiments, the bird protection apparatus comprises a plurality of main cross members and secondary cross members.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for handling hazardous materials, including liquid and solid materials, includes as a central feature the encapsulation of materials into spherical capsules. The capsules, which may be in one preferred embodiment about 12 inches to 17 inches in diameter, may be formed of two connected hemispheres or as an integral ball with a fill opening. Once filled and sealed, the spherical balls are nearly indestructible (although incineratable) and a very high percentage of the balls will survive even in a collision of a vehicle carrying them. The system of the invention preferably includes a color coding scheme directly on the capsules for identifying the materials in the capsules both generally, with a background color, and more specifically, with one or more color bands. In one preferred embodiment the spherical balls, when filled with hazardous materials, have a specific gravity less than 1.0 so that they will float.

Abstract: The use of a lenticular array in the formation of the object-illuminating beam used in the recording of either a Fresnel, a Fraunhofer or an image plane hologram, permits the reconstructed image of the object, on playback of the hologram, to be directly viewed over an expanded image viewing area.

Abstract: A deflection-type modulator, for insertion in the path of a laser beam directed to a remote receiver, includes a mirror mounted on a voice coil device and positioned in the focal plane of a lens. A prism reflects the laser beam at right angles through one-half of the lens to a focal point on the mirror. The beam is reflected back through the other half of the lens, and is reflected by another face of the prism normally to a point between two spaced photosensors at the remote receiver. An electrical audio signal applied to the voice coil device causes the laser beam to be deflected back and forth between the two photosensors at the remote receiver.
