  • Patent number: 10332282
    Abstract: A method and system are described for fragmented presentation of a media content, such as a digital picture. In an exemplary embodiment, the media content is rendered on a display of a recipient portable computing device, such as a smartphone. Simultaneously, a masking layer is rendered on the display “over the top” of the multimedia content. The mask layer obscures the presentation of the media content such that removal of the mask layer, one fragment at a time over a period of time, operates to present portions of the media content rendered below each fragment.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190102929
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mediating multimodule animation events may be provided. A mediating module may generate animation content in real time by combining visual data of an animation subject received from a subject interface module, animation assets received from an asset module, and animation instructions, and transmit the animation content to a viewer interface module, whereby a viewer can view the animation content.

  • Patent number: 5322409
    Abstract: A harvest machine comprises a chassis (10) having wheels (15) attached to its sides. A vertical frame (11) is attached near the rear of the chassis. Slings (18) and a harness or body support (40) hang from the vertical frame to suspend workers (20) in prone positions over low plants (21). The slings allow the workers to easily move about to reach plants around them without bending, kneeling, or any posture that creates back strain. A packing box (19) placed adjacent the workers collect the produce. Alternatively, a conveyor belt (36) may be used to automatically carry produce from the workers into a large packing box (35). The distal end of an arm (14), which extends from the front of the chassis, is connected to the tow bar (23) of a towing vehicle. Alternatively, a motor (30) may be fitted to a nose wheel (33) at the front the chassis to provide self-propulsion. A "boat" (31) at the distal end of an arm (32) attached to the nose wheel rides in a furrow to guide the harvest machine.
