Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating graphic animation technologies with fantasy sports contest applications are provided. This invention enables a fantasy sports contest application to depict plays in various sporting events using graphic animation. The fantasy sports contest application may combine graphical representation of real-life elements such as, for example, player facial features, with default elements such as, for example, a generic player body, to create realistic graphic video. The fantasy sports contest application may provide links to animated videos for depicting plays on contest screens in which information associated with the plays may be displayed. The fantasy sports contest application may play the animated video for a user in response to the user selecting such a link. In some embodiment of the present invention, the fantasy sports contest application may also customize animated video based on user-supplied setup information. For example, the fantasy sports contest application may provide play information and other related data to allow a user to generate animated videos using the user's own graphics processing equipment and graphics animation program.

Abstract: A support system for mounting a door, such as a pocket door, on an overhead track is disclosed. The system cooperates with carriage that includes a support rod having a discontinuity at a lower end. The system uses bracket that is adapted for mounting along the upper edge of the door, and an engagement bar that is adapted for engaging the discontinuity on the support rod, so that the door is suspended from the track through the carriage by inserting the discontinuity through the bracket and engaging the discontinuity with the engagement bar, trapping the lower end of the support rod through the aperture in the bracket.
