  • Publication number: 20220092729
    Abstract: Hyper-hemispherical images may be combined to generate a rectangular projection of a spherical image having an equatorial stitch line along of a line of lowest distortion in the two images. First and second circular images are received representing respective hyper-hemispherical fields of view. A video processing device may project each circular image to a respective rectangular image by mapping an outer edge of the circular image to a first edge of the rectangular image and mapping a center point of the circular image to a second edge of the first rectangular image. The rectangular images may be stitched together along the edges corresponding to the outer edge of the original circular image.

  • Patent number: 11231050
    Abstract: A turbomachine airfoil element includes an airfoil having pressure and suction sides spaced apart from one another in a thickness direction and joined to one another at leading and trailing edges. The airfoil extends in a radial direction a span that is in a range of 0.60-0.70 inch (15.3-17.8 mm). A chord length extends in a chordwise direction from the leading edge to the trailing edge at 50% span and is in a range of 0.90-1.00 inch (22.9-25.5 mm). The airfoil element includes at least two of a first mode with a frequency of 5327±10% Hz, a second mode with a frequency of 8393±10% Hz, a third mode with a frequency of 16289±10% Hz, a fourth mode with a frequency of 25049±10% Hz and a fifth mode with a frequency of 27423±10% Hz.

  • Patent number: 10524892
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for deploying and/or retrieving an object (e.g., a vena cava filter) in a cavity (e.g., a vena cava) using a system configured to: (i) maintain grip of the unsheathed object in the cavity until deliberately released, (ii) prevent premature release of the object in the cavity, and/or (iii) facilitate retrieval by first everting said object, then withdrawing the object through a guiding catheter (e.g., retrieval via eversion).

  • Patent number: 10311215
    Abstract: An authorized user obtains a packaging license that grants permission to use a particular recording device to generate multimedia content in accordance with specified license terms. The packaging license includes a content key that is used to encrypt the multimedia content at the point of capture on the recording device. The encrypted multimedia content can be transmitted via unsecure channels (for example, via electronic mail) to a networked content repository or an intended recipient. For playback, an authorized user obtains a playback license that grants permission to decrypt and playback the multimedia content using a particular playback device. An authorization server and a key management server are used to manage which users are entitled to receive a license, and to define the terms of the granted licenses. A record of the granted authorizations and licenses is maintained, thereby allowing access to a given content item to be audited.

  • Patent number: 9956727
    Abstract: A printer apparatus and a method for continuously printing a three-dimensional (3D) object. The printer apparatus has an elongated container for containing build fluid comprising a monomer from which the 3D object is made. A means for continuous conveying a build platform has a build surface that descending down into the build fluid. A matrix of light emitting elements are disposed above the elongated container, and emit a predetermined pattern of a reactive light toward the continuously conveyed build surface and at the upper surface of the build fluid. The reactive light has a predetermined pattern that polymerizes and/or agglomerates a portion of the upper surface of the build fluid into a build material having a build pattern comprising the build material. The build platform can have a plurality of build surface segments attached in series along a continuous conveyor.
