  • Patent number: 9646421
    Abstract: Synchronizing an augmented reality video stream with a displayed video stream includes: accessing an augmented reality video stream which corresponds to a displayed video stream and accessing synchronizing metadata associated with the augmented reality video stream for synchronizing the augmented reality video stream to the displayed video stream; the synchronizing metadata includes processed key frames of the displayed video stream. Processed key frames are selected frames from the displayed video stream which have been processed to provide data usable to compare images of frames. The displayed video stream is tracked by capturing and processing a frame of the displayed video stream. The augmented reality video stream is synchronized to the displayed video stream by matching the captured and processed frame of the displayed video stream with a processed key frame of the metadata at a known location in the augmented reality video stream.

  • Patent number: 7557162
    Abstract: Toughened thermoplastic compositions comprising a thermoplastic polymer toughened by the inclusion of a thermoplastic elastomer derived from a particulate rubber dynamically vulcanized in the presence of a matrix polymer. The toughened thermoplastic composition exhibits properties including toughness, improved impact resistance, and improved hardness. The compositions are utilized wherever toughened, high performance polymers are desired. A method for forming the toughened polymer compositions is also described. Processing methods, such as rotational molding, utilizing the toughened polymer compositions are described.

  • Patent number: 4306616
    Abstract: A refrigerated shelf for a food display counter comprising a sheet of metal having an upper surface for supporting chilled food items and a cooling coil at the underside of the shelf, the coil being adapted for the flow of coolant therethrough for cooling the shelf. Heat transfer means in heat-exchange relation with the coil and the underside of the shelf is provided for effecting a substantially uniform temperature condition throughout the upper surface of the shelf.
