Abstract:
A joint prosthesis system, specifically a shoulder prosthesis, for shoulder replacement, revision and repair. The implants provide fixation into the best bone available to a surgeon. The implants are used in a superior-inferior and anterior-posterior construct forming a type of cross or X-shape. The implants allow for interchangeability of the articulating component as well as rotational orientation. The systems will allow for augments to accommodate bone loss. The implants may allow for additional security using screws or anchors inserted into the scapula.
Abstract:
A craps game apparatus includes a craps game layout and dice for generating a plurality of dice role outcomes, wherein each dice role outcome yields an integer number from 2 through 12. The craps game layout has a pass line wagering area for receiving a bet on a pass outcome. The pass outcome occurs when a dice roll outcome yields an established point number before an outcome of 7. A bonus betting location is provided for receiving a bet on a bonus outcome based on a sequence of the dice roll outcomes. The bonus outcome occurs when the sequence of dice roll outcomes includes a predetermined number of consecutive pass outcomes before a bonus bet termination event, such as a seven out or a crap out.
Abstract:
Events and tags are assigned to recorded multimedia content through the use of different tools and interfaces to segment the content as well as to provide commentary corresponding to the content and/or to reference other content. One interface includes a timeline corresponding to the multimedia content, which is displayed with a selected combination of tags and events. The tags and events are visually distinguishable within the timeline from other tags and events by their respective colors and graphical representations. Events and tags can be filtered and sorted according to various parameters and characteristics. Some events and tags can also be shared for use on different computing systems with the same or different multimedia content.
Abstract:
Methods and media are provided for quantifying viewer awareness of advertising images in a video source is provided. According to one embodiment, a media source is segmented into a set of frames, which are annotated with attributes based on the images that appear within each frame. The attribute data is analyzed to determine detections that meet provided criteria. The detections are indexed based on the attributes, which are then supplemented with additional attributes to create one or more valuation factors. The valuation factors can be used to derive a discount factor that can be applied against a benchmark, such as the 30-second spot rate, to determine a value associated with the video source.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for presenting information with varying levels of detail based on one or more regions of interest. A virtual viewport of the information to be displayed is mapped onto a three-dimensional surface; and the mapped information is projected in one dimension onto a display. The plurality of levels of detail include, for example, an expansion zone associated with a region of interest and a compression zone for portions of the information that are removed from a region of interest. The plurality of levels of detail are based on a shape of the three-dimensional surface. In one implementation, the three-dimensional surface is a three-dimensional cylindrical surface. The three-dimensional surface is reshaped to vary the degree of compression by varying a slope of the three-dimensional surface in the z-dimension.
Abstract:
A condition management callback system and method for use with a processor employing a hierarchical register consolidation structure. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a condition management structure, (2) a callback abstraction subsystem configured to register a callback for at least one element object in the condition management structure and store logically abstracted data associated with the callback and (3) an abstraction retrieval subsystem configured to employ the condition management structure to determine a condition of at least one status indicator in the condition management structure by traversing the hierarchical register consolidation structure, initiate the callback based on the condition and pass the logically abstracted data if the element object representing the status indicator has the callback registered.
Abstract:
Dyeing nylon by applying sulphonated or unsulphonated dyestuffs containing cyclic anhydride groups, anhydride forming dicarboxylic acid groups or half-esters or half-amides thereof, as free acids or as salts with ammonia or volatile amines, and heating the fibre until dyestuff fixation takes place.
Abstract:
Process for coloring synthetic polyamide textile materials which comprises applying to the said textile materials by a dyeing, padding or printing process, an aqueous dispersion of pH less than 7 of a disperse dyestuff containing at least one carboxylic acid group and in the presence of a tanning agent, whereby level colorations are obtained which have excellent wet fastness properties.
Abstract:
Dyeing cellulose or cellulose/polyester blends by applying unsulphonated dyestuffs containing cyclic anhydride groups, anhydride-forming dicarboxylic acid groups or half-esters or half-amides thereof, as free acids or as salts with ammonia or volatile amines, and heating the fibre until dyestuff fixation takes place.
