A Discrete Fourier Transform watermark for use with digital images/video. A Y component of a Y, U(Cb), V(Cr) digital data stream representing color components of digital video is extracted as the digital data for embedding the watermark. The digital data is then scaled to a standard size. A Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is performed on the digital data, and a magnitude domain of the Discrete Fourier Transform is computed. The watermark is embedded into selected frequency bands of the computed magnitude domain of the Discrete Fourier Transform, thereby creating a watermarked magnitude domain. The selected frequency bands comprise one or more middle frequency bands, and the middle frequency bands comprise a band of circular rings of the magnitude domain. An inverse Discrete Fourier Transform is performed on the watermarked magnitude domain to reconstruct the digital data with the embedded watermark.

A bioprosthetic valve graft comprises a valve frame and valve flaps, the latter acting to open or close a valve aperture to directionally control fluid flow through the bioprosthesis. The bioprosthetic valve graft comprises method for suturelessly attaching a biomaterial suturelessly bonded to the A method for securing a biomaterial to a valve frame includes positioning a flexible valve frame defining an open area on a first major surface of a biomaterial sheet having a peripheral edge, wherein positioning serves to approximate the valve frame and the peripheral edge of the biomaterial sheet to form an at least first bonding locus: and suturelessly bonding the biomaterial to the valve frame at the at least first bonding locus. The method avoids the disadvantages associated with conventional sutures and substantially reduces medical complications in implantations.
