Abstract: Given two video sequences, a composite video sequence can be generated (15) which includes visual elements from each of the given sequences, suitably synchronized (11) and represented in a chosen focal plane. A composite video sequence can be made also by similarly combining a video sequence with an audio sequence. In the composite video sequence, contestants, action figures or objects can be shown against a common background (12) even if the given video sequences differ as to background, with the common background taken from one or the other of the given sequences, for example. Alternatively, a different suitable background can be used, e.g. as derived from the given video sequences, as obtained from another video sequence or image, or as otherwise synthesized.

Abstract: A world-wide-web based size information system and method for providing any living thing with an accurate size information profile to facilitate the purchase of appropriately fitted products to help and support that living thing's needs. The inventive system includes; a size recording process, a database for online or offline input of the sizes, the ability to view and share the size information, grouping and sub-grouping of individual user information on demand, grouping and sub-grouping of system users on demand, comparison of system user sizes on demand, comparison of user sizes to an article on demand, cross reference of international sizes for a user, and the creation of an international size reference by country.
