  • Publication number: 20250259272
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to influencing the blending of two visual media inputs by first receiving them through a prompt editor. A blending interface is presented, displaying at least one frame from each of the first and second input visual media. The blending is adjusted in response to user input by modifying a blend curve that represents the relative influence of the first visual media compared to the second visual media over time.

  • Publication number: 20250259362
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a prompt editor for use with a visual media generative response engine, where a user inputs a text prompt describing visual media to be generated by the visual media generative response engine. Upon receiving a command to generate the visual media, the present technology determines at least one of the duration, resolution, or aspect ratio for the media prior to generation. The visual media generative response engine creates the visual media based on the input prompt and the specified and determined characteristics. The generated visual media is received having the specified attributes.

  • Publication number: 20250259361
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to presenting a storyboard user interface that includes a visual media timeline and a representation of a first frame on the timeline along with a prompt to generate visual media. The input prompt is then sent to a visual media generative response engine, which generates output visual media in response to the input prompt.

  • Publication number: 20190241331
    Abstract: A system of a tamper evidence/child resistant latch device and an enclosure is disclosed. The latching device and the enclosure will remain separate to each other as items that can be “attached” to each other to become as “one item” only when the enclosure such as a bag and/or a blister pack is packaged with a commodity. The system requires “hand-resistance” to break a “seal” to gain access to the commodity. The “seal” aligns with a matching “internal hook” so designed that must be hand-broken to gain access to the commodity. A commodity having a value and not considered as dangerous to a child, can provide new security levels. The system requires the dexterity of two hands, as a “capacity” belonging to an adult, but would be difficult for a child.

  • Publication number: 20080185315
    Abstract: A packaging system, hereinafter referred to as the Critical Packaging System, relates to critical issues that associate with sensitive articles such as IC wafers before, during and after shipment phases. The system employs a choice of two or more specialty designed containers, and any one selected design having choices of two or more methods by which to avoid, reduce and/or eliminate wafer damage from breakage, scratches and/or corrosion during shipment phases. For the purpose of maximizing product yield during packaging phases a special apparatus is used to insert wafers within containers without scratch damage. The following programs are used in packaging: (1) Quality Assurance/Certification, (2) Critical Factor Monitoring, and (3) a Recycle and Refurbish Program. These programs are specifically designed to achieve new levels of product yields, reduce product cost, and landfill impact.

  • Publication number: 20070259576
    Abstract: Novel arrangements are disclosed that provide for replacement of printed circuit boards useful in regulating current for LEDs. In one embodiment, a conductive track is disclosed that forms a pattern for placement of electrical components. The track can be made out of any suitably conductive material and may be stamped, cut, or formed depending on the material type. The conductive track can conduct both electricity and heat. Portions of the conductive track can be removed creating a gap. Electrical components can be placed along the conductive track spanning the gap to create a circuit path. Other embodiments include wiring harnesses that contain embedded electrical components. The harnesses may occupy less space than some embodiments of the conductive track. An electrical connector may be provided to allow easy replacement of the LED.

  • Publication number: 20070036805
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising (i) a first specific binding agent selected from an antibody or a large binding fragment of an antibody which specifically binds a target toxin, and (ii) a second specific binding agent which comprises a small binding fragment of an antibody which binds said toxin. The compositions are used in the treatment of toxin poisoning, for example following exposure to toxins such as Botulinum toxins.

  • Publication number: 20060131958
    Abstract: The security system provides an aircraft security system capable of protecting both single and multiple engine aircraft. Variations of the present system prevent unauthorized starting of protected aircraft and activate an alarm when engine starting it is attempted. Embodiments of the system draw no power from the aircraft when the security system is armed and in no way interferes with the normal starting or operation of the aircraft when the system is disarmed. Embodiments of the present system can activate an alarm when an aircraft's doors or panels are opened. Embodiments of the present invention can activate an alarm when installed equipment or other devices are tampered with or removed from their housings.

  • Patent number: 6286684
    Abstract: A container for integrated circuit wafers provides protection for the wafers from mechanical shock and electrical charges. The wafers are mechanically protected by top and bottom cushions and side cushions. The top and bottom cushions each have foam within a membrane or film enclosure. The enclosure has openings so as to allow gas to pass in and out. The side cushions have resilient projections that protect the edges of the wafers. The side cushions are interposed between flanges of the top and bottom cushions. The individual wafers are separated from each other by leaf separators made of film. The film for the separators and the top and bottom cushions can be the same type. The film has a first layer made of a polymer with dissipative material therein and a second layer made of a polymer without the dissipative material. The first and second layers are coupled together. The insulating layer is placed into contact with a circuit side of the wafer. The dissipative material can be carbon.
