  • Publication number: 20240107113
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide video content (e.g., a TV show, a recorded sporting event, a movie, a 3D video, etc.) within a 3D environment using parameters selected based on one or more contextual factors. Such contextual factors may be determined based on an attribute of the content (e.g., its intended purpose or viewing environment), the user (e.g., the user's visual quality, interpupillary distance, etc.), the 3D environment (e.g., current lighting conditions, spatial considerations, etc.), or other context attributes.

  • Patent number: 8276161
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for implementing a business systems management solution for end-to-end event management. The present invention realizes a number of business systems management functionalities, including defining event databases and means for event monitoring and correlating a customer's business functions by using an enterprise view focused on a system of applications, operating systems, connections, and physical components. Together these components make up a business system as defined by the customer. As such, a business system can cross technology platforms, physical space, and comprise multiple applications, or a business system could be limited to a single platform, location, and application.

  • Publication number: 20040034553
    Abstract: A method of prioritizing a business process based on enabling components is provided. The enabling components may comprise technology, staff, processes or other tools. The plurality of service elements used to accomplish the business process are determined. A criticality value for a first service element of the business process is determined, as well as a timing value for the first service element of the business process. A first implementation Value is calculated based on the criticality value and the timing value. The first service element is then ranked in a hierarchy based on the first implementation value. Computer program product and systems using the method are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20030221629
    Abstract: An interactive aquatic animal feeding method and device includes an elongated lead secured to a body with non-living edible material. The body can have characteristics to aid in the attraction of a feeding response from the aquatic animal, such as movement, shape, scent, coloring, flavoring, and texture. Movement may be facilitated by use of a flexible, resilient and/or elastic elongated lead. The body can be manipulated and moved in an aquarium. One or more devices can be packaged in a shell with a plurality of cavities to receive the bodies, and slits formed in walls surrounding the cavities to receive and bind the elongated leads. A series of channels adjacent to the walls or a single channel formed around the wall can be used to secure and store excess length of the elongated leads.
