Abstract: A water display including a number of pixels or manifolds that may include water nozzles to emit streams of water and/or other utilities such as lighting is described. The water streams may be pixelated so as to provide a high resolution waveform or other choreography. The choreography transitions between waveforms to provide the appearance of a cascading or undulating wave. A tool to design the water display and simulate its appearance is also described.

Abstract: A system and method for altering the visual appearance of moving physical forms is disclosed. The moving physical forms may include solids, liquids, gasses and any combination thereof. The system and method may include video capturing devices for capturing video footage of the moving forms, a controller for altering the captured video footage of the moving forms, and video projecting devices for projecting the altered video footage back onto the moving forms.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided that monitor brand performance in a holistic manner by calculating brand scores for a set of competitive brand names over time and in different geographical territories through disparate mass media and digital media channels. The methods and systems take into account i) different influence factors that pertain to a brand's influence on consumer behavior in the different media channels over time and in different geographical territories as well as ii) the exposure (spending) that use the brand in the media channels and the geographical territories over time. In embodiments, the brand score for a given brand can be calculated by combining influence factor scores and an exposure factor score using a set of weights derived from statistical modeling of brand performance in a brand category and relevant geographical territory. Other systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating brand performance are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A light display system and device for use in a body of water or other liquid is described. The light display device may be controlled remotely via a control hub and/or control panel, or controlled by internally preprogrammed commands. A plurality of light display devices may be controlled in selected, choreographed sequences to provide various unique visual displays including, for example, geometrical patterns and/or naturalistic patterns giving the impression of organic phenomena such as swarming fireflies, bioluminescent creatures and the like.

Abstract: A water display is described including a wall or other structure upon which streams of water are shot. The direction, velocity, pressure and flow rate of the water streams may be varied to provide entertaining visual effects, which may also be choreographed with music, lighting or other features.

Abstract: A device that emits colored flames is disclosed. The device may include one or more electromagnetic coils within a housing. A fuel source may provide fuel such as hydrogen to an igniter at the input to the electromagnetic coil. The fuel may be ignited and a current may flow through the coil that may create a magnetic field. The ignited fuel may ionize creating an electric current that may accelerate the combusting particles through the coil. The current may create a magnetic field that may force the ionized particles into cyclotron orbits. Coloring additive such as salts may be added to the combusting fuel to provide color to the resulting flames.

Abstract: A device to moving a water shooter is described. The device may contain features that allow the device to travel submerged in a reservoir with a water shooter attached. The device may travel along a fixed track, rotational boom, or be free swimming in order to move the water shooter within the reservoir so that unique water effects may be achieved.

Abstract: A water delivery device is described which includes an outlet pipe through which water is ejected to provide a water display. A disk is positioned relative to the outlet pipe. The relative positions of the disk and outlet pipe are moved so that the disk is located within the outlet pipe or above it to alter the appearance of the water leaving the outlet pipe. As the relative position of the disk and outlet pipe varies, a sequence of water expressions is provided.

Abstract: A system for configuring unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to a structure is disclosed. The structure may be a standing structure such as a tower. A movement system may be configured with the tower. The UASs may be tethered to the movement structure and the movement structure may move with respect to the tower.
