  • Publication number: 20240430496
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for providing dynamic insertion of in-scene and non-in-scene secondary content. Secondary content insertion markers are encoded within the primary content, indicating that a particular type of secondary content (e.g., in-scene or non-in-scene) may be inserted at a time associated with the marker. When the insertion is in-scene, a portion of the primary content between two in-scene secondary content insertion markers may be replaced with alternative content that includes the portion of the primary content, supplemented with inserted secondary content.

  • Publication number: 20200304380
    Abstract: A method of remotely controlling a device at a location is provided. A dataset is received from each of a plurality of different locations, comprising at least one data value of at least one monitorable device at the respective location. Based on the dataset, a user interface can be generated, comprising a primary interface element having plurality of matrix positions mapped to a surface of a sphere. In the user interface, an interactive object icon is displayed which is representative of a monitorable device positioned at the respective matrix position. A scale of each interactive object icon is indicative of the data value of the said monitorable device. After receiving a user input at an interactive object icon, a processor retrieves and displays the data value of a monitorable device associated with the interactive object icon, and a device is controlled at the location to perform a physical function.

  • Patent number: 9996549
    Abstract: A system and method for constructing a file system based on aggregated metadata from disparate sources is described. The system scans basic attributes of files in a file system, extended attributes of the files in the file system, and application-specific attributes of files that are managed by corresponding applications in the file system. The system generates an aggregate metadata library for the corresponding files based on the basic attributes, extended attributes, and application-specific attributes and builds a unified file system based on the aggregate metadata library.

  • Publication number: 20060113208
    Abstract: A disposable shield designed to sheath a patient control device prevents contaminants from contacting or entering the device. The shield has a bi-directional opening through which the hand-operated device is inserted and removed from the shield. A removable sealing device is used to preserve the integrity of the shield when the sealing device is removed. The shield can therefore be changed each time the device is handled by a different person, minimizing the chances of cross-contamination. The shield also extends the life of the device by preventing biological contaminants from contacting the device.

  • Patent number: 6581509
    Abstract: A rotary cylinder assembly for a machine tool is provided that includes a lock check system that locks the work piece to the machine tool chuck and prevents extension and retraction of the work piece in the event of loss of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. The rotary cylinder assembly includes a shaft end cover coupled between a fluid shaft housing and a cylinder body. The shaft end cover houses the lock check system and includes a number of flow paths that provide for extension and retraction of a piston rod connector housed in the cylinder body in response to fluid pressure supplied from the fluid shaft housing. The shaft end cover and lock check system are configured to allow small diameter cylinder bodies to be coupled thereto while providing the safety and functional features associated with the lock check system.
