  • Publication number: 20150182863
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to automated searching and comparison of game statistics to identify, rank and present statistically significant events related to game play during and/or after a game in automatically generated sentences. An apparatus comprises a processor circuit and storage storing instructions operative on the processor circuit to receive signals conveying a first set of statistical information closely related to play of a first game; search the first set of statistical information for a first set of statistical anomalies; and in response to the first set of statistical anomalies comprising an insufficient number of statistical anomalies, search a second set of statistical information less closely related to play of the first game for a second set of statistical anomalies, and transmit a multitude of sentences describing statistical anomalies of the first and second sets of statistical anomalies to a computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

  • Publication number: 20130135313
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying information, which include displaying, on a display, a first spatial representation of one or more nodes of a hierarchy of information, the first spatial representation including a first node. They further include receiving, at a processor, input. Additionally, they include displaying, on the display, a second spatial representation of one or more nodes of the hierarchy of information, based on the input. The second spatial representation includes a second node, which represents information that is related to information represented by the first node. In some implementations, whether, or the manner in which, each node of the one or more nodes is displayed in the first spatial representation is determined based at least in part on (a) how closely related the information represented by each node is to the information represented by the first node or (b) the popularity of information represented by each node.

  • Patent number: 8446643
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a size and shape of media on which image data is to be printed in an image production device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a request to print a print job, scanning image data for the print job, feeding media on which the image data is to be printed, scanning the fed media to determine the size and shape of the fed media, generating a mask based on the determined size and shape of the fed media, applying the mask to the image data, the mask permitting marking material to be applied to an intermediate member based on the determined size and shape of the fed media, applying the image data to the fed media; and outputting the fed media containing the image data.

  • Patent number: 8448078
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for selection of default media based on media size in an image production device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a request to display a printer user interface, displaying the printer user interface, the printer user interface having selections to enable a user to select a default media type for each default media size, receiving one or more default media selections from the user using the printer user interface, receiving a request to print a print job, and printing the print job with media designated by at least one of the one or more default media selections.

  • Patent number: 8339618
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for confirming attributes of media loaded in a media tray in an image production device is disclosed. The method may include determining which media tray of one or more media trays is being loaded with media using one or more media tray sensors, displaying a graphical representation of the media tray being loaded to a user on a user interface, prompting the user to enter and confirm attributes of the media being loaded into the media tray through the user interface, determining if confirmation has been received from the user interface, wherein if it is determined that the confirmation has been received from the user interface, storing the confirmed attributes for the determined media tray in a memory, and processing print jobs using the stored media tray attributes.

  • Publication number: 20060266197
    Abstract: A specialized at least bilayered device similiformic with the fretboard/fingerboard/keyboard of an instrument is designed to be removingly disposed between the strings and fretbaord or frets of the instrument and prevents or mitigates fret damages (from, for example, dimpling or string grooving) owing to string pressures—such as during transport and storage of the instrument in a case or other. Fret integrity and active or functional life is extended in an industrially efficient, economical and elegant way heretofore uncontemplated and/or commercially realized.

  • Patent number: 6695053
    Abstract: An apparatus for discharging sample fluid from a bailer with a ball-joint and a method of using thereof. The apparatus has a body, an interior and an exterior, a top opening and a bottom opening, and a lip disposed around the top opening. The bottom of the apparatus has a bailer-support disposed across the diameter of the bottom opening. A pin is located at the center of the bailer-support. The apparatus functions as a bailer discharge device. The apparatus is designed to be placed into an opening of a bucket or drum and is adapted to discharge sample fluid from the base of a bailer into a bucket or drum when the bailer with a ball-joint is inserted through the top opening of the apparatus and rests on the pin attached to the bailer-support support. The pin acts to release the ball-joint thereby allowing the sample fluid to be discharged into the bucket or drum.
