Abstract: A magnetic rotational position sensor assembly for measurement of a rotational angular position of a rotating structure. The sensor assembly includes a shaft member extending along a primary rotational axis for primary rotational movement in response to rotation of the rotating structure, a motion conversion member structured and configured to transform the primary rotational movement of the shaft member into secondary movement, a magnet member secured to the motion conversion member for displacement along a travel path in response to the converted secondary movement of the motion conversion member, and a non-contact magnetic sensor that senses a change in position of the magnet member by sensing a corresponding variation in the magnetic field during displacement of the magnet member along the travel path in response to rotation of the rotating structure, wherein the magnetic sensor generates an output signal representative of a relative rotational angular position of the rotating structure.

Abstract: Clock circuits and apparatus containing such are useful in clock synchronization and skew adjustment. Such clock circuits may include a delay line coupled to receive an input signal, wherein the delay line comprises a plurality of delay elements, and wherein at least two delay elements of the plurality of delay elements differ in unit time delay. Such clock circuits may further include a phase detector coupled to receive the input signal and a signal generated from an output signal of the delay line. The phase detector may be configured to compare the input signal to the generated signal and to adjust a length of the delay line to synchronize the input signal and the generated signal.

Abstract: The BOOKTAG is a simple one-sheet specific page location device that indicates the page intended within a book irrespective of which way it is turned within the book or which face is viewed. It is printed on two faces in such a way as to allow a change of indication to the opposite page by inverting the device top to bottom.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for collaborative media editing. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, to an originator, an originator interface including multiple media panes; establishing a connection with a collaborator; receiving from the originator a selection indicating an item of media content associated with at least one of the multiple media panes; transmitting to the collaborator the selected item of media content; and enabling inter-user communication relating to the selected item of media content in the originator interface with the collaborator. Further, a connection can be established with a second collaborator, the item of media content can be transmitted to the second collaborator, and communication can occur in the originator interface with the second collaborator.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes displaying, within a user interface in a digital media system, a project pane, displaying video content within the project pane, the video content aligned relative to a time line, adding overlay content to the video content, and anchoring a first position in the overlay content to a second position in the video content such that content corresponding to the first position is synchronized to content corresponding to the second position.

Abstract: A storyboard presentation is generated by launching a scene design tool that includes actor and camera placement tools. Using the actor and camera placement tools, a first actor icon and a first camera icon are added on a scene layout, the first actor icon representing a first actor that will appear in a scene and the first camera icon representing a first camera that will film the scene. The user is enabled to control a location and orientation of the first actor icon using the actor placement tool and a location and orientation of the first camera icon relative to the first actor icon using the camera placement tool. Based on the location and orientation of the first actor icon and the first camera icon, a first projection of the scene featuring the first actor as seen from the first camera is generated.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for classifying digital content can include displaying one or more poster frames in a user interface, wherein a poster frame corresponds to an item of digital content, displaying one or more first level classification panes adjacent to a poster frame corresponding to an item to be classified, wherein a first level classification pane is associated with a keyword, and enabling a user to associate a poster frame with a first level classification pane to cause the keyword associated with the first level classification pane to be associated with the item to which the poster frame corresponds.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of specifying speed effects for playing a video clip. The method defines a set of speed effects for the video clip. It then displays in real-time a presentation of the video clip that accounts for the set of speed effects defined for the video clip. This method represents the playback speed of a video clip in terms of a graph that is part of a graphical user interface (“GUI”). This graph is defined along two axes, with one axis representing the playback time, and the other axis representing the content-time (i.e., the time within the video clip). A user can select and adjust the graph at different instances in time in order to change the playback speed of the video clip at these instances. Some embodiments use a deformable line bar superimposed on a rectangle that represents the video clip to represent playback speed.

Abstract: Duty cycle corrector circuits that utilize differing unit delay elements in their delay lines in either a graduated or a stepped unit time delay arrangement are for synchronizing with a clock signal. These graduated or a stepped unit time delays allow reduction in the number of the fine unit delay elements of the delay lines by placing a fine delay element granularity at the most critical timings to sense and adjust for the portion of the clock signal time period that are high speed or critical.

The bendable tube redirectionally engages the guide surface intermediate the first and second longitudinal ends of the tube. The carriage is vertically repositionable and cooperatively engages the tube proximate the first longitudinal end of the tube, whereby vertical repositioning of the carriage effects a change in the vertical distance between the first and second longitudinal ends of the tube. The support assembly releasably suspends an elongate workpiece for introduction of at least a portion of the workpiece into the tube through the first longitudinal end of the coating tube as the carriage is vertically repositioned upwards towards the support assembly.
