  • Publication number: 20100220175
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for the real-time positional manipulation of stereoscopic (3D) subtitles in a stereoscopic viewing environment. A stereoscopic subtitling workstation is provided for creating stereoscopic subtitling content for use with stereoscopic video content in which stereoscopic subtitling content can be manipulated and adjusted in real-time in a stereoscopic viewing environment to set the desired viewing position and appearance parameters for the stereoscopic subtitling content. The stereoscopic subtitling workstation may further automatically analyze the stereoscopic video content and automatically generate optimal viewing parameters for the stereoscopic subtitling content, including its 3D offset, according to desired appearances and interaction between such content.

  • Publication number: 20100139924
    Abstract: A method of servicing subsea equipment comprising positioning a reaction chamber about the subsea equipment having a plug therein, wherein positioning the reaction chamber substantially isolates an area about the subsea equipment from an environment external to the reaction chamber, providing one or more reactants to the reaction chamber, and allowing a reaction to proceed between the reactants, wherein the reaction produces sufficient heat to eliminate the plug. A system for removing plugs from subsea equipment comprising a support vessel, a reaction chamber supported by the support vessel and positioned adjacent the subsea equipment having a plug therein, wherein the reaction chamber is configured to substantially isolate an area about the subsea equipment having a plug therein from an environment external to the reaction chamber, and one or more exothermically-reacting chemical reactants present within the reaction chamber.

  • Patent number: 7154475
    Abstract: A computer mouse 10 has magnetic orientation features. It comprises a body 11 in which is located a mechanism 13 for sensing the x and y movement of the body and a compassing device 16 for determining the magnetic orientation of the body. The mouse has a processor 40 for receiving and processing x and y movement data and magnetic orientation data. The processor sends the processed data to a transmitter 15 located in the body. The transmitter is wireless and sends signals based on the x and y data and the magnetic orientation data in real time.
