  • Patent number: 11947780
    Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

  • Publication number: 20130012945
    Abstract: There is provided a drill guide assembly (10) adapted for removable connection to a bone plate (200, 310, 1150, 1250) and for guiding a drill bit (300) through at least one hole (202, 312) that has a central axis. The drill guide assembly (10) includes a guide sleeve (80, 600, 910, 952, 1000, 1052, 1110, 1210) and a guide collar (30) connected to the guide sleeve. The guide collar has an outrigger (40, 500, 800), and the outrigger has at least one opening (42, 504, 804) adapted to receive the drill bit. The at least one opening allows an operator to select an angle for placement of the drill bit and limits the maximum angle selectable by the operator.

  • Patent number: 4025410
    Abstract: The operation of a sputtering apparatus is improved by selectively enhancing the sputtering on portions of a cathodic target located across from a peripheral area of a workholder. Such enhancement is produced by a magnetic field having flux lines extending substantially parallel to the target into a peripheral segment of a space between the target and the workholder. Relative motion between the magnetic field and the workholder uniformly distributes the effect of the increase in sputtering over the entire periphery of the workholder.
