  • Publication number: 20230418631
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for runtime execution in virtual environments of software, such as video games. The system utilizes mock GUIs, which can be images illustrating or displaying mocked graphical user interfaces, to create GUIs that can be exported into runtime environments of software. The system creates GUIs by analyzing the graphical elements and attributes of mock GUIs, and assigning functionality to those graphical elements, enabling the operating of the GUIs within executable runtime environments.

  • Patent number: 10165245
    Abstract: A computing device plays at least one first video content segment. The video content segment may be a portion of an interactive video content sequence including multiple segments that may each be selected during play of one or more of the other segments. The computing device determines one or more second video content segments that are associated with the first video content segment. Such determination may be made by analyzing information describing an interactive video content sequence of which the video content segment is a part. The computing device attempts to load one or more second video content segments. In this way, play of the video content segments may reduce and/or avoid delays in changing the video content being played.

  • Patent number: 7360434
    Abstract: A pressure tap probe having a flexible probe tip that is flexible enough to seal a film cooling hole having a roughened surface such as a TBC applied around the hole. The flexible probe tip is flexible enough to deform around the film cooling hole such that an accurate pressure reading can be observed for the film cooling hole. The flexible pressure tap is used to measure the pressure at a plurality of film cooling holes on a turbine airfoil when a pressure and a flow rate of cooling air is passed through the airfoil. A plurality of film cooling holes are measured by using the flexible pressure tap to determine if the cooling passages and film cooling holes are properly sized to provide adequate cooling for the airfoil.
