  • Patent number: 12215796
    Abstract: A tire inflation valve having anti-rotation features has an external valve seat, and includes a valve body, a valve stem extending through the length of the valve body, and anti-rotation features disposed interior to the valve body. The valve stem is configured to move relative to the valve body, such that a resilient seating surface disposed at a proximal end of the valve stem is displaced relative to a valve seat formed by an exterior surface of a proximal end of the valve body. The anti-rotation features may include a complementary slot and protrusion, a keyway and complementary protruding ridge, and/or complementary channels and lateral protrusions.

  • Publication number: 20140098986
    Abstract: Included are embodiments for performing video analysis. Some embodiments include a system with a memory component that stores logic that, when executed by the system, causes the system to receive video content of a subject, identify a mannerism of the subject at a point in time in the video content, and determine an emotional state associated with the mannerism. In some embodiments, the logic causes the system to receive a file that correlates the mannerism with the point in time and provide a user interface that provides the video content with data from the file, such that the mannerism is provided with the data.
