  • Publication number: 20250168293
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a bias lighting effect are provided. A computer-implemented method can include obtaining a video comprising a plurality of video frames. For each of one or more video frames of the plurality of video frames, the method can include sampling an edge portion of the video frame. The edge portion can include a portion of the video frame adjacent to an edge of the video frame. The method can further include generating a bias lighting effect for the video frame. Generating the bias lighting effect can include inverting the edge portion across the edge and blurring the edge portion. The method can further include displaying the video frame concurrently with the bias lighting effect for the video frame. The bias lighting effect can be displayed adjacent to the edge of the video frame.

  • Patent number: 6334707
    Abstract: A temperature sensing device for test cylinder is provided. The device includes a heat-transfer member that is covered with a top cover and is then set along with the top cover in a holding case to form a temperature sensing unit of the device. The heat-transfer member is provided at an upper side at a position best for correctly sensing temperature with an upper recess for receiving a sensing element therein, and at a lower side with channels for receiving conductors of a cable externally connected to and extended into the holding case. The upper recess of the heat-transfer member is filled with resin to enclose the sensing element therein and adhesively connect to a bottom surface of the top cover. The temperature-sensing unit has a concave top corresponding to a test cylinder to enable close and fit contact of the test cylinder with the top cover. The entire temperature sensing unit and the test cylinder are hold together by positioning them into a fixing unit of the device.
