  • Patent number: 10468065
    Abstract: An embodiment detects where frames within a video have been added, deleted, or changed. The embodiment tracks the modifications through subsequent versions of the source video, and retains various metadata (corresponding to the individual edits) that describes the context and specifics of the edits. In an embodiment only changes to the original video need be tracked by preserving only those clips that have been added, removed, or changed. This ability enables a video editor to maintain the various changes made to a video and see the history of changes while alleviating much of the file storage associated with large, high-quality videos. Other embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 10362359
    Abstract: An embodiment includes receiving a first request for first video content and a first video player from a client; in response (a) (i) obtaining first source code for the first video player, (a)(ii) obtaining a first configuration file for the first video player, (a)(iii) obtaining a first player module corresponding to the first video player, and (a)(iv) communicating same to the client. The first video player comprises code to play video via a graphical user interface. The first player module comprises code that, in response to the first player module subscribing to a first event bus of a pub/sub system, performs a first routine in response to: (b)(i) a first publication to the first event bus from an additional player module that corresponds to the first video player, and (b) (ii) execution of a first callback function corresponding to the first publication.

  • Patent number: 7211002
    Abstract: A constant velocity joint is provided that includes an outer race having a bore with an inner surface, a cage arranged within the bore of the outer race, an inner race having an outer surface, a plurality of balls arranged within the cage, and a shaft connected to the inner race. The cage, outer race, inner race, and balls interrelate to center and support the cage. The cage remains in a non-supporting state with the outer race and the inner race through a no angle and a high angle position of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 6793584
    Abstract: A constant velocity joint vent for use in a constant velocity joint of an automotive vehicle. The constant velocity joint vent includes a body generally having a cylindrical shape. The constant velocity joint vent also includes a first axial channel on an inside surface of the body. A semi circumferential channel is in communication with the first axial channel on one end thereof also on the inside surface of the body. A second axial channel in communication with the semi circumferential channel on another end thereof. The vent also includes a diaphragm in communication with the second axial channel and the outer atmosphere. The vent will operate such that high pressure and high temperature gases are vented to the outer atmosphere while any contaminants or water are repelled from entering the constant velocity joint chamber.

  • Patent number: 6579187
    Abstract: A barrier for use in a constant velocity joint wherein the constant velocity joint has a lubricant within an outer race and a boot secured to a boot cover. The barrier includes a shield wherein that shield is in contact with the outer race and the boot cover. The shield generally has a body with a cup shaped cross section and a circumferential flange extending therefrom. The shield provides a barrier between the boot and the heat and grease lubricant of the constant velocity joint.
