Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for augmenting a video are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a selection of an effect; receive user-generated content comprising video data and audio data; detect a characteristic of the audio data comprising at least a volume and/or a pitch of the audio data during a period of time; determine a series of numeric values based on the characteristic of the audio data during the period of time, individual numeric values of the series of numeric values being correlated with an amplitude of the volume and/or pitch at a discrete point within the period of time; and augment at least one of the video data and/or the audio data to include the effect based on the series of numeric values at discrete points in time within the period of time.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for obtaining pointing directions for every channel of a collimator which can then be used during the image reconstruction process to more accurately estimate the direction from which radiation has been received. The disclosed system and method provide for photographic measurement and analysis of individual collimator channel to determine the pointing directions for every channel in the collimator. This information is obtained by photographing the front and back sides of the collimator, and analyzing the digital image data to obtain the pointing angle of each channel. The resulting information, referred to as a “vector map” is included in the firmware of the collimator so that it can be called on during the projection and back-projection steps of the algorithm.

Abstract: A door assembly for covering an opening (12) formed in the body (26) of an aircraft including a door (10) with two gooseneck hinge arms (28) are rotatably connected at one end to the aircraft body above the door opening and rotatably connected at their other end to the door. An actuator (30) is provided to pivot the hinge arm about its rotatable connection to the body. Two mounting panels (106) are located between the two gooseneck hinge arms. A torque tube (104) is supported by the door and rotates by turning an interior door handle (100) that is located between the two mounting panels. The door assembly further includes a latching assembly (32), hinge guide assembly (34), and frame guide assembly (36) that cooperate to give the door a desired motion. The latching, hinge guide, and frame guide assemblies each include various rollers that engage with tracks.
