  • Publication number: 20240104245
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for facilitating document information security is provided. A request for documents is received and documents of different formats that satisfy the request are obtained from one or more sources. Source information is extracted from each obtained document. Each obtained document is converted to a common format and the source information is embedded within the common format for that document. At least a portion of text having sensitive data is identified within one or more of the obtained documents. The sensitive data is redacted by highlighting the text portion with a semi-transparent indicator. The highlighted text portion is obfuscated upon approval of the redacted sensitive data by changing the semi-transparent indicator to an opaque indicator. The redaction information is overlayed on the opaque indicator and the obtained documents are provided in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20160329006
    Abstract: An integrated processing and projection device adapted to rest on a supporting surface provides interactivity between users in a projected display area projected by the device on the supporting surface. The integrated processing and projection device includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display in the display area. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in the display area. An interactive service, provided using the device or a network connected host, enables users of companion processing devices to interact in the display area of the integrated processing and projection device using the companion devices, via an interface in the display provide by the projector. Users without companion devices can interact with users of companion devices using an interface provided in the display area.

  • Patent number: 6869372
    Abstract: A metal baseball or softball bat may be improved both for durability and performance by selectively placing a layer of fiber reinforced composite material around portions of the bat. In one embodiment, the barrel portion of the bat may have a fiber reinforced composite layer directly laid up upon the metal bat frame. In a second embodiment, the barrel portion of the bat may include an outer metal sleeve placed about the metal bat frame, with an exterior fiber reinforced composite shell being formed on the outer metal sleeve. In a third embodiment, an intermediate portion of the bat adjacent a zone of maximum bending stress may be reinforced by the placement of a fiber reinforced composite outer layer on the metal frame of the bat adjacent the area of maximum bending stress.
