  • Publication number: 20240129599
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to methods, systems and computer-readable media for generating overlay graphics for a broadcast transmission or generating broadcast augmentation instructions. An example method comprises: receiving a broadcast transmission stream of an event from a camera, the broadcast transmission stream comprising a series of images; receiving a stream of event data corresponding to the series of images, the stream of event data comprising object information regarding an object in the series of images; defining an overlay element based on the stream of event data, the overlay element being associated with the object in the series of images; augmenting the broadcast transmission with the overlay element to generate an augmented broadcast transmission, the augmented broadcast transmission comprising the series of images overlayed with the overlay element.

  • Patent number: 9253127
    Abstract: A system is provided for applying optimized selection to route an email message over a network to a recipient mailbox. An email message may be enabled to be transmitted through a plurality of servers to a destination recipient mailbox server. An external message transfer agent may receive the email message using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and may transmit the received email message to a proxy transport server. The proxy transport server may apply a selection for an optimal store-and-forward (SAF) transport server to which to route the email message. The selection may provide for identifying available SAF transport servers, organizing the SAF transport servers into server groups, and selecting the optimal SAF transport server belonging to a server group where a recipient mailbox server is located. The proxy transport server may transmit the email message to the SAF transport server for delivering the message to the recipient mailbox.

  • Patent number: 8065801
    Abstract: A electric razor foil assembly comprises flexible outer and inner foils (1, 2) supported by a structure (14) that is deformable to permit the foils to flex to follow concave or convex curvatures. The support structure includes two suspension members (22) supporting the foils along the respective side edges, and each support member (22) has several support elements (24) interconnected by hinges (25) and in sliding cooperation with the foils. The deformation of the suspension members is guided by guide plates located adjacent the suspension members.

  • Patent number: 7154540
    Abstract: Pan, tilt and zoom sensors are coupled to a broadcast camera in order to determine the field of view of the broadcast camera and to make a rough estimate of a target's location in the broadcast camera's field of view. Pattern recognition techniques can be used to determine the exact location of the target in the broadcast camera's field of view. If a preselected target is at least partially within the field of view of the broadcast camera, all or part of the target's image is enhanced. The enhancements include replacing the target image with a second image, overlaying the target image or highlighting the target image. Examples of a target include a billboard, a portion of a playing field or another location at a live event. The enhancements made to the target's image can be seen by the television viewer but are not visible to persons at the live event.

  • Patent number: 6154250
    Abstract: A system for enhancing the television presentation of an object at a sporting event includes one or more sensors which are used to determine the location of the object. Based on the location of the object and the field of view of a broadcast camera, a processor determines the position of the object in a video frame of the broadcast camera. Once knowing where the object is positioned within the video frame, the television signal can be edited or augmented to enhance the presentation of the object.

  • Patent number: H1563
    Abstract: A method and device for detecting bacteria by forming an immunoassay ladder sing a biological substance (Ag) adsorbed onto a surface, to which has been added an immunological biochemical ladder (Ab) and beta-galactosidase enzyme (gal) to form a Ag-Ab-gal system. The system is added to an aqueous solution of an enzyme selected from ortho-nitrophenylgalactopyranoside and ortho-nitrophenylgalactosidase enzyme. The enzyme reacts with the gal to produce ortho-nitrophenol (ONP) such that the amount of ortho-nitrophenol (ONP) produced may be detected by measuring the vapor pressure generated by the ONP using an ion mobility spectrometer monitor. The pressure of the ONP is in proportion to the amount of biological substance present in the system. In a preferred embodiment, the ion mobility spectrometer monitor includes display means for indicating the quantity of bacteria measured.
