Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable medium for variable video production, distribution and presentation are disclosed. An example system to generate a variable video includes a data center storing a plurality of media assets and a composer communicatively coupled to the data center over a network. The composer is to identify a first order of a first subset of the plurality of media assets for inclusion into a first variable video for a first viewer. The example system also includes a player communicatively coupled to the composer and the data center over the network. The player is to receive the first order, download the first subset of media assets, and present the first variable video.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable medium for variable video production, distribution and presentation are disclosed. An example video player to play a variable video includes an input interface to request first relevance data from a first intended viewer of a first version of the variable video and to request second relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video. The example video player also includes an assembler to assemble a first sequence of two or more of a plurality of scenes charted in a video file based on the first relevance data and at least one vector tagged to the plurality of scenes based on content of the plurality of scenes and to assemble a second sequence of two or more of the plurality of scenes charted in the video file based on the second relevance data and at least one vector.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable medium for variable video production, distribution and presentation are disclosed. An example composer to author a variable video includes a labeler to tag each of a plurality of scenes with at least one vector based on the content of the respective scenes. In addition, the example composer includes a receiver to define relevance data to be obtained from intended viewers of respective versions of the variable video. A mapper is also included to chart a sequence of two or more of the scenes, at least one of the scenes being a variable scene. The variable scene includes content selected based on the vector and the respective relevance data to form respective versions of the variable video. The example composer further includes a publisher to publish the variable video as a single file for creating the respective versions of the variable video.

Abstract: An example composer to author a variable video includes a builder to create scenes, a content retriever to assign content to the scenes, a library interface to point to the content for the scenes, a labeler to tag the scenes with at least one vector based on the content, a receiver to obtain first relevance data from first intended viewer of a first version of the variable video and to obtain second relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video, a mapper to chart a first sequence of two or more scenes based on a vector and the first relevance data and to chart a second sequence of two or more scenes based on a vector and the second relevance data, and a publisher to publish the variable video as a single file based on the first sequence and the second sequence.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for running a completion string, such as casing, into a predrilled wellbore while allowing rotation of a downhole component with respect to the completion string. The downhole component may be a drill shoe or reamer shoe for example. There is also disclosed a drillable or millable drive assembly for driving the rotation of a portion of the casing assembly and other applications thereof.
