Abstract: Methods and apparatus for production of composite images, videos, or films which exhibit virtual objects. More particularly, methods and apparatus for rendering, scaling, and/or locating, virtual objects within composite images, videos, or films employing marker objects as reference objects.

Abstract: A housing can be secured to a motor vehicle and has a first housing portion (4) and a second housing portion (2) which can be connected thereto. To integrate a pedestrian protection function and to provide a defined relative movement of the housing portions in relation to each other, it is proposed to provide on the first housing portion an elongate support element (10), which is connected with a proximal end to the first housing portion and has a distally disposed effective end having an effective cross-section (6), and the second housing portion (2) includes an elastic fixing element with a through opening, the inside diameter of which is smaller than the effective cross-section.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for production of composite images, videos, or films which exhibit virtual objects. More particularly, techniques and systems for rendering, scaling, and/or locating, virtual objects within composite images, videos, or films employing marker objects as reference objects. In at least one embodiment, a virtual object is rendered by synchronizing a virtual camera with a real camera and, subsequently, synthesizing a canvas featuring the virtual object at a position determined in reference to the position of a detected marker object.

Abstract: With respect to the object of providing a filter element with a sufficiently high filtration capacity and easy deformability, a filter element, comprising a first component (1), a second component (2) and a pleated filter medium (3) interposed between the components (1, 2), the components (1, 2) being disposed at a distance due to the filter medium (3), is characterized in that the filter element (3) is made of a non-woven fabric and pleated such that a distance between the components (1, 2) can be reversibly reduced, at least in some regions, when a force is applied.
