  • Patent number: 11947780
    Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

  • Patent number: 4265025
    Abstract: An inspection probe for inspecting tubular members comprises a housing having a plurality of feeler wires extending therefrom and into contact with the inner side of the tubular members. The inspection probe also comprises a radiation source and radiation sensors arranged in the probe so that the sensors can detect radiation from the source that has been reflected from the feeler wires. The sensors are arranged so that when the feeler wires encounter an irregularity in the tubular member the amount radiation reflected from the feeler wires to the sensors will change in relation to the size of the irregularity. Output from the sensors is calibrated to remotely indicate the size and location of the irregularity.
