    Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning a camera target relative to a signal acquisition frame. Detection of the target's position deviation may be achieved by a calibration beam being reflected from the target surface and being detected by at least two position sensitive detectors (PSDs) to thereby allow removal of ambiguity in the target's Z-focus error from its tilt error. The PSD-measured quantities can be transformed into target control space quantities that can be used in a control loop to reduce the target position error. The calibration beam and one or more of the PSDs can also be used to detect the target's edges, thereby allowing lateral centering of the target relative to the reference frame.

    Abstract: Personalized video stories are produced. Unfinished stories are first recorded on a video medium with blank segments. Digital sequences are used to complete the segments, for example, by portraying a character with a keyed-out facial area, using the digitized image of a subject to complete the character. An edit list is also prepared to locate the blank segments. The story is sequentially advanced to each segment in accordance with the edit list and, at each segment, the personalized sequence is recorded, thereby completing the story as though the subject is a character in the story. A plurality of different stories may be prerecorded, each substantially completed but including a plurality of unfinished segments. The stories may include animation, for example in the form of cartoons, the personalizes being recorded onto the previously uncompleted tape in such a way that a smooth, visual transition is realized at the start and ending of each segment. In addition to the merging of personalized imagery, the invention also accommodates audio, including narration, and textual information, such as personalized captioning. The apparatus will also print a customized label to produce an entirely personalized end product.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a modular worktop, and method of assembly, including a surface member, a front edge, and a backsplash, the components preferably being removably attached to each other. Each of the surface member, front edge, and backsplash may be selected from a predetermined group of decorative surfacing options, resulting in a worktop that is aesthetically pleasing to the consumer or person selecting the components. Additionally, each of the components is sized and configured so as to bring assembly and installation within the skill range of the average consumer. Because the front edge is removably attached, the front edge is changeable at the discretion of the consumer, for example, for aesthetic reasons.

    Abstract: The present invention involves the prescribing and/or dispensing ophthalmic lenses, such as progressive addition lenses, for a wearer. In one form of the invention lens usage information is obtained from a wearer and entered into a programmed computer. The programmed computer processes the lens usage information to provide a separate weighted lifestyle score for each of one or more respective lifestyle score categories, such that each weighted lifestyle score is a function of a predetermined relationship between the respective lifestyle score category and at least ophthalmic lens design feature. The programmed computer then selects or designs an ophthalmic lens design using one or more of the weighted lifestyle scores such that the selected or designed ophthalmic lens has at least one lens design feature which has been customised using one or more of the weighted lifestyle scores.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning a multi-featured biological array relative to a signal acquisition device. Detection of the array's positional deviation may be achieved by a calibration beam reflected from the array surface and detected by a position sensitive detector (PSD). The PSD-measured positional deviation can be transformed and used in a control loop to correct for positional variations of the array. The calibration beam and PSD may also be used to detect the array or feature boundaries, thereby allowing lateral centering or positioning of the array relative to the signal acquisition device.
