  • Patent number: 11776578
    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.

  • Patent number: 8876373
    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.

  • Publication number: 20050253852
    Abstract: A system and method enables animators to efficiently pose character models' feet. An initial foot model position is received. The initial foot model position specifies a foot model contact point. One or more foot roll parameters are specified that change the relative angle between at least a portion of the foot model and an initial orientation of an alignment plane. Foot roll parameters specify the rotation of the foot model around foot model contact points. Foot roll parameters can include heel roll, ball roll, and toe roll, which specify the rotation of the foot model around contact points on the heel, ball, and toe, respectively, of a foot model. To maintain the position of the foot model contact point, the foot model position is adjusted based on the foot roll parameter. The repositioned foot model is realigned with alignment plane, which restores contact at the foot model contact point.
