Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting picture-in-picture displays, or multi-picture displays. Some of the systems include two video signals that are coupled to a compositing device. The compositing device is also coupled to a selector input that originates remote from the compositing device. The compositing device provides a video output that is a combination of two or more video inputs arranged in a picture-in-picture format, or a multi-picture format. The methods include receiving two or more video inputs and providing a composite output arranged in a picture-in-picture format, or a multi-picture format.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring visual displays in a picture-in-picture, or other multi-picture format. Some of the systems include two video inputs, with one being generated remote from a display, while the other is being generated local to the display. The systems include a selecting device that receives a selection input indicating one of the video inputs as a full screen display and the other input as a partial screen display. A compositing device combines the two video inputs as a single video output, where the single video output includes one of the video inputs layered over the other video input. Some of the methods include receiving the video inputs as selected, and combining the video inputs into a single video output.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing and displaying video and/or data in a picture-in-picture, or multi-picture image format. Some of the systems include a video and data stream that are selected by a selecting device. The video and data streams are formatted and transferred to a network interface device via a transmission device. Various of the methods include receiving a selection input and, based on the selection input, selecting multiple video and/or data streams for transmission. The streams are formatted, and transmitted to a network interface device that creates a composite video signal based on the input data and/or video streams.

Abstract: The method of making cast barrier structures consisting of the steps of, securing a plurality of form plates in a longitudinally spaced array over a supporting surface with the major plane of each form plate oriented substantially vertically and transversely to the length of the array, positioning side panels longitudinally alongside the form plates on opposite sides thereof and extending the length of the array, the side panels having upper and lower longitudinally extending edges with the lower edges seated on the underlying supporting surface and having irregularities on the inside surface which faces the form plates, fixedly securing the side panels to the form plates to form with the form plates and underlying surface an open-topped hollow assembly, and pouring a solidifiable plastic material downward through the open top of the hollow assembly to completely fill the interior thereof and integrally bond together the form plates and the side panels and the plastic material when the latter solidifies.

Abstract: A barrier structure comprising a number of spaced apart inline vertical I-beam sections embedded in a road and having secured to the posts a number of form plates having a pair of downwardly and outwardly diverging legs and a pair of upwardly diverging extending arms, which plates have ears turned out of them used to secure the plates to the I-beams. Reinforcing rods are extended through alined apertures in a number of consecutively spaced plates, and end connected side panels are secured to tabs on the side edges of the plates and interfittingly engaged with the bottoms of the plates legs and the tops of the plates arms so that the side panels are retained in a predetermined position with respect to the upstanding plates. Concrete is poured down through the open top of the structure to completely fill the inside to the top of the side panels which act as a form for the concrete being poured, and which side panels are bonded to the concrete and remain as a permanent part of the barrier structure.
