  • Publication number: 20210117580
    Abstract: A method of managing proxy objects within CAD Models by attaching Meta Data to each Proxy and HD Object and translating 2D coordinates into 3D coordinates from within a 3D CAD model with additional data being added through a 360 viewer. The method enables the user to programmatically swap one Proxy Object with one or more HD Objects. All Proxy Objects and HD Objects are stored in a secure database structure while providing access by users to the proxy objects and all related product information. Non-technical and non-CAD users can configure objects within a space by selecting an object, browsing a catalog of possible alternative objects, viewing specific product details and then selecting the object to replace the selected object. Once a new object is selected, a photo realistic 360 image of a scene is created in real time.

  • Publication number: 20210026806
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor to: within each reading thread, retrieve a data set part and corresponding part metadata from storage device(s), analyze row group metadata for each row group within the data set part to identify candidate row group(s) meeting specified criteria, and store the candidate row group(s) and corresponding row group metadata within a data buffer of a queue; operate the queue as a FIFO buffer; within each provision thread, retrieve one of multiple row groups and corresponding metadata from within the data buffer, use information in the metadata to identify rows meeting the criteria, and provide those rows to the requesting device or an application; and in response to each instance of storage of a data set part within a data buffer of the queue, analyze the availability of storage space and/or of processing resources to determine whether to dynamically adjust the quantity of reading threads.

  • Patent number: 10573142
    Abstract: A surveillance camera system having a specialized camera assembly with a fixed-angle lens is provided in a housing designed to reduce the size and weight of the camera assembly and reduce the identifiability of the system as a surveillance camera. The camera assembly can include an integrated ball joint assembly to support the camera assembly at arbitrary angles. The ball joint can further provide a standard threaded mating component to secure the camera assembly. The surveillance camera system can employ a recessed housing partially shrouding the camera assembly in a ceiling installation and further reducing the observability of the camera assembly without obstructing the camera lens. Installed in the recessed housing with an integrated ball joint, the camera assembly retains pan and tilt adjustments common to current recessed dome surveillance cameras. The camera assembly supports attachment of a customizable front cover further obscuring the camera assembly.

  • Patent number: 10546612
    Abstract: A production system having a first production path, a second production path, and a control system that causes the first production path to generate a show in a first aspect ratio and the second production path to generate the same show in a second aspect ratio. Moreover, the product system can product a show from live material and from archived material. This aspect operates by producing a first show including multiple stories, segmenting the first show, and storing the show segments in an archive. Then, the system produces a second show using live portions as well as show segments retrieved from the archive. The product system can include a media manager that interacts with a server that may be integrated with the production system. The media manager automatically assigns channels/ports of the server when accessing material stored in the server.

  • Patent number: 10514170
    Abstract: A treatment composition is disclosed including a carrier and a sacrificial oxide-forming material suspended within the carrier. The sacrificial oxide-forming material is selected from the group consisting of tin oxide, magnesium oxide, antimony pentaoxide, and combinations thereof. A treatment process for a gas turbine component including an abradable ceramic coating is disclosed. The process includes contacting the abradable ceramic coating with the treatment composition. The sacrificial oxide-forming material is infused into the abradable ceramic coating to form sacrificial oxide-forming deposits within the abradable ceramic coating. A rejuvenation process is disclosed including contacting the hot gas path surface of a gas turbine component with a rinse composition comprising water and the treatment composition to form the sacrificial oxide-forming deposits within the abradable ceramic coating.
