  • Publication number: 20200154156
    Abstract: A method for inserting advertising content and other media on one or more surfaces in a moving 360-degree video includes selecting a moving 360-degree video with at least one ad insertion surface, reviewing a plurality of ad insertion surfaces in the selected moving 360-degree video, presenting a plurality of ads from a Library of Ads in the memory or identifying a custom created ad for insertion onto one of the plurality of ad insertion surfaces in the selected moving 360-degree video, inserting at least one of the plurality of ads or the custom created ad onto one of the ad insertion surfaces in the selected moving 360-degree video, finalizing the moving 360-degree video with the at least one ad into a composite moving video, and flattening the composite moving video.

  • Publication number: 20200154093
    Abstract: A system for inserting advertising content and other media on one or more surfaces in a moving 360-degree video using computers has one or more processors, a client device connected to a network, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The processors enable a viewer to select a moving 360-degree video with at least one ad insertion surface, review a plurality of ad insertion surfaces each having a preset timecode and a preset geometry while simultaneously presenting a plurality of ads, insert an ad into one of the ad insertion surfaces in the selected moving 360-degree video, finalize the moving 360-degree video with the at least one ad, and flatten the moving 360 video into a composite moving video.

  • Patent number: 9528951
    Abstract: A method to determine a concentration of a target element in a sample is provide. The method comprises (i) positioning a sample containing a target element with respect to a reference material containing a reference element, (ii) simultaneously irradiating the sample and the reference material with Bremsstrahlung X-rays to thereby produce activated nuclei in the target element and to produce activated nuclei in the reference element, (iii) detecting deactivation gamma-rays' from the irradiated sample and deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated reference material, (iv) determining a first number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated sample and a second number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the reference material, and (v) determining the concentration of the target element in the sample by first normalising the first number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated sample by the second number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the reference material.

  • Patent number: 7686356
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for increasing the security of a door latch that uses a striker plate having a striker plate housing with a side plate connected to the striker plate housing and extends generally parallel to the striker plate housing and at least one opening, one or more pins positioned slidably and toward an opening in the striker plate housing and a biasing mechanism in contact with the one or more pins for biasing each of the one or more pins toward the opening to conform to the shape of a throw bolt inserted into the opening.
