Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically modifying values of content elements in frames of a video. One example method includes obtaining an input video. A set of elements included in one or more frames of the input video is identified. Metadata is generated for each element in the set of elements. A determination is made that a value for a particular element in the set of elements is targeted for replacement. A replacement value is determined for the particular element and updated metadata is generated. A metadata entry for the particular element is updated to include the determined replacement value. Output content is generated based on the updated metadata the output content is provided for display.

Abstract: A fluid injection system includes a choke valve having at least one inlet. The system also includes a water injection line extending between a water supply and the choke valve, and the water injection line is configured to flow water from the water supply into a first inlet of the at least one inlet of the choke valve. The system also includes a polymer injection line extending from a polymer supply toward the choke valve, and the polymer injection line is configured to flow a polymer in a substantially non-inverted state from the polymer supply toward the choke valve. The choke valve is configured to receive the water and the polymer and to facilitate inversion of the polymer as the water and the polymer flow through the choke valve.

Abstract: Techniques for remotely managed data extraction are disclosed whereby a client data extractor (CDE) is installed on a customer computer system to extract data from the customer computer system for transmission to a destination. Soft configuration techniques can be employed where the configuration data for governing the data extraction are provided to the customer computer system from a service provider computer system on an as-needed basis. Moreover, during extraction, data translation from a source format to a destination format can be performed at the query level to improve efficiency.

Abstract: A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.
