Abstract: A polyester film comprising a polymeric phosphonate flame retardant in an amount of from about 1.0 to about 25.0 wt % by total weight of the film and further comprising at least one metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group I and Group II metal cations.

Abstract: Computer game sound effects (SFX) are provided to customers in a container that includes not only the audio file (such as a .wav file) of the SFX but also the information underlying the SFX, so that the customer can alter the SFX at run time or offline without having to purchase a new sound or go back to the sound provider to ask them to make the desired changes.

Abstract: An image data capturing arrangement (1) has at least two image data capturing devices. At least one first image data capturing device (2) is adapted to capture data of one or more first images of an object along a first image capturing axis 4, and at least one second image data capturing device (6) is adapted to capture data of one or more second images of stars along a second image capturing axis 8. The second image capturing axis (8) has a known orientation relative to the first image capturing axis (4), and a reference clock for assigning a time stamp to each first and second image data.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transponder key testing device and to a method of testing a transponder key. The transponder key may be used with any article using transponder key technology, typically a motor vehicle. The transponder key testing device has a first memory (30) in which is stored data relating to an article signal emitted by each one of a number of articles (10) and a second memory (32) in which is stored data relating to a response signal emitted by each one of a number of transponder keys (20). The testing device has a receiver (24) adapted to receive the article signal and the response signal. The testing device compares the article signal with data in the first memory, compares the response signal with data in the second memory, and determines whether or not the transponder key (20) is compatible with the article (10). There is also provided a method of testing a transponder key for compatibility with a particular article.

Abstract: A method in a computer system for authoring media content for a computer application is provided. The authoring is accomplished by making use of a hierarchical structure including media objects, containers to group objects, and meta-containers to group containers and objects, where the media objects are working copies of provided media files. The hierarchical structure is such that when a property or behaviour is assigned to a container, this property is automatically shared to the objects and container therein. Similarly, the containers and objects included in a meta-container share the properties and behaviours assigned to their parent meta-container. Such a method and system can be implemented as an audio authoring tool for video game where a higher-level additional hierarchical structure is provided on top of a lower-level hierarchical structure to route sound assets organized and characterized through the lower-level hierarchy.

Abstract: The method and system for multi-version digital authoring comprises providing digital media from which media objects are created. Version classes are predetermined, each including version identifiers for identifying respective versions of the media objects. A work copy is then created of each sound object corresponding to each version identifier. A selected modifying value characterizing a selected modifier is associated to a selected media object. The version of the object corresponding to a current version identifier is then modified by the modifying value. The method and system provides means to link and unlink modifiers associated to a selected sound object for a selected version identifier.
