Abstract: A physical therapy and exercising apparatus comprising an upper surface configured to fit a person's foot or hand, and a bottom surface, wherein, when the apparatus is placed on a flat surface, only a portion of the bottom surface touches the flat surface, such that low-friction gliding on the flat surface, of the person's foot or hand and apparatus, together, is facilitated.

Abstract: A Digital Micro Ad (DMA) system and method designed to adapt to changing viewer behavior by detecting spot fast-forward, or other trick play, and popping a graphic, or other messages, over video. This graphic displays the advertiser brand message to achieve a brief imprint on the viewer. The DMA system augments the linear advertisement or the like (the spot) so the advertiser can reach their intended target audience. The system starts with offline media processing. Off the shelf encoded spots are processed to embed DMA enabling content identifying “metadata” packets and in-line graphics images. Next, when the content is played to air, this DMA enabled content is streamed to the DVR device. Within the DVR, the DMA engine detects the embedded graphic images which are recovered and saved in the DVR. Finally, when a DVR recorded program is played back, the embedded content ID metadata packets “arm” the DMA engine.

Abstract: According to various embodiments of the invention, a system is provided for working with multimedia content. In some embodiments, the system comprises a video box configured to receive video content from a first and a second source and generate active content by merging the video content from the first and second sources. Additionally, various embodiments may include a spatial television remote control including an accelerometer. This accelerometer may be coupled to a processor so that the processor can process signals from the accelerometer to provide a cursor-pointing function based on movement of the remote control.
