  • Patent number: 11257040
    Abstract: A document collaboration system allows applications to collaborate on a binary data file even if the binary data file is not in a collaborative document format. In response to a request from an application to access a binary data file, the document collaboration system gives the application access to a document model corresponding to the binary data file and the application If the document model does not already exist, it may be created by generating an empty document model, transmitting the binary data file to the application, and allowing the application to fill in the empty document model based on the binary data file. The document model may be provided to and modified by its related application through an application programming interface (API), and changes to the document model may be applied to the binary data file.

  • Publication number: 20220009260
    Abstract: A means and method to enhance the security of personalized and variable print-on-demand data on vital records or documents, such as checks, by inkjet printing. A specially formulated penetrating ink prints information on the front side to create an indelibly seamless “dual image” on the reverse side. The reverse image symbiotically complements the primary image on the print side to provide ease of authentication and tamper resistance. Specially formulated MICR ink is used to print information on the front side. Specially formulated penetrating may be different color. Either invisible ultraviolet fluorescent penetrating ink or visible penetrating ink may be used to create the image on the reverse side. The print side and reverse side are printed using single-pen printing by orienting inkjet two different pens in a series.

  • Patent number: 11120293
    Abstract: Various types of objects or occurrences can be automatically detected in input media being processed using a transcoder. The media content can be analyzed to determine various transitions, such as scene changes, which provide insight into useful locations for performing object recognition. Representative frames subsequent a transition are analyzed to determine whether they are appropriate for image analysis, using factors such as amount of motion, brightness, color, or pixel disparity within the frame. If a representative frame meets the various criteria, that frame is sent to an object recognition service for analysis. The output of the service can be a set of object tags that provide information identifying the object and its location in the media. The output tags can be encoded into the output video or stored to an associated metadata file, among other such options.
