  • Publication number: 20110292224
    Abstract: A system that includes a digital camera, a digital image processing unit, a printer, and a remote server. The digital camera wirelessly transmits a digital image to the digital image processing unit. The digital image processing unit, once it receives the digital image, can store the image locally on a hard disk and print the digital image. The digital image processing unit can also include a mobile internet card, thereby enabling it to connect directly to the internet to upload the stored digital images directly to a remote server without first needing to connect to a local network. Alternatively, the camera and the digital image processing unit can be one and the same, and transmit the digital image wirelessly to a printer, a remote server, or both. The settings and preferences of the system can also be updated automatically when it connects to a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20090167870
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing a consumer to create a custom digital image with consumer selected backgrounds and foregrounds. Digital images are taken by a photographer and uploaded to a server. A consumer can log in to the server through a web browser and view the digital images. The background of the digital image can be removed. After selecting a digital image, the consumer can change the digital image's background and foreground, and change the position and size of the digital image relative to the background and foreground. Multiple photographers can use the same system to create a custom website that enables consumers to create custom digital images and order prints of the custom digital image or items that have the custom digital image printed on it. After the order is completed, the custom digital image is processed and printed, and mailed to the consumer or made available for pickup.

  • Publication number: 20060288436
    Abstract: The present invention provides mice having reduced CAR receptor activity and mice expressing a human CAR receptor. These mice are useful in screening methods to identify compounds that modulate CAR receptor activity, compounds likely to have CAR-mediated toxicity, and analogs of these compounds with less potential toxicity.
