Abstract: A method, apparatus, system and computer-implemented non-transitory memory may encode h.264/AVC compliant video with region of interest compression, wherein a hybrid region of interest of each frame may include both an enlarged luminance region of interest of each frame and in addition thereto an excess portion of an enlarged chrominance region of interest of each frame, in excess of the enlarged luminance region of interest of each frame.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for encoding video including identifying a region of interest and compressing data of the region of interest at a first bitrate.

Abstract: An adjustable and portable soccer goal is provided with at least a top horizontal member connecting two vertical side supports, at least two rearwardly inclined bracing members formed in a circularly configuration, one bracing member engaging the top and bottom of one vertical member. The two bracing members are connected by a lower horizontal member which engages the ground or goal supporting surface to provide stability for the goal. A plurality of anchor assemblies are used to secure the ground engaging members, and each assembly includes a flange with a first end engaging the ground engaging member and a second ground engaging end with an aperture formed therein. The goal is constructed of hollow members with the vertical side supports and the horizontal member connecting them having a preferred thickness or diameter of approximately 1½ inches.

Abstract: This invention is a cinch suture having first and second segments and a locking device joining these segments which responds to teeth on the first segment to lock a ligature in place and prevent loosening. The locking device has teeth positioned to interact with engaging elements carried by the first segment as it is passed through the locking device to prevent removal. The locking device teeth are flexible and movable and arranged in two rows in a face to face offset relationship. The first segment engaging elements have a spherical configuration. The first segment passing through the locking device forms an endless loop for encircling and closing an opening formed by surgical excision of an organ or vessel. The locking mechanism has a receiving entrance and a removal exit. The two rows of offset teeth alternately engage spherical engaging elements to provide minute adjustment in the tightness of the suture and place pressure on the suture to hold it firmly in place.

Abstract: This invention is a cinch suture having first and second segments and a locking device joing these segments. The locking device reacts to formations on the first segment to lock the ligature in place and prevent loosening. The locking device has rows of teeth positioned to interact with engaging elements carried by the first segment as the first segment is passed through the locking device to secure the first segment against removal. The locking device teeth are flexible and movable and include preferably two rows of teeth that are in a face to face offset relationship. The first segment engaging elements have a spherical configuration, and the first segment passing through the locking device forms and endless loop for encircling and closing an opening formed by surgical excision of an organ or vessel. The locking mechanism has a segment receiving entrance and a segment removal exit which assists the positioning the first segment into the segment receiving entrance and out of the segment removal exit.
