Patent CA-2553384-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EBRIGHT ALLAN R
IPC: H04N5/7617
Filed: 1991-09-10
Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different television program lengths of one half hour to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changes in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. A conventional offset shadow (34) which is a black bar underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid.

Inventor: AMAN JAMES A
IPC: G06V10/147
Filed: 2005-04-18
Abstract: An automatic system 100 that uses one to three grids 20cm of overhead cameras 20c to first video an event area 2. Overall bandwidth is greatly reduced by intelligent hubs 26 that extract foreground blocks 10m based upon initial and continuously updated background images 2r. The hubs also analyze current images 10c to constantly locate, classify and track in 3D the limited number of expected foreground objects 10. As objects 10 of interest are tracked, the system automatically directs ptz perspective view cameras 40c to follow the activities. These asynchronous cameras 40c limit their images to defined repeatable pt angles and zoom depths. Pre-captured venue backgrounds 2r at each repeatable ptz setting facilitate perspective foreground extraction. The moving background, such as spectators 13, is removed with various techniques including stereoscopic side cameras 40c-b and 40c-c flanking each perspective camera 40c. The tracking data 101 derived from the overhead view 102 establishes event performance measurement and analysis data 701. The analysis results in statistics and descriptive performance tokens 702 translatable via speech synthesis into audible descriptions of the event activities corresponding to overhead 102 and perspective video 202.

Title: Method and apparatus to remove yarns from fringes of an industrial textile
Inventor: SEEMAN RAYMOND LEE
IPC: D21F7/10
Filed: 2006-10-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the removal of one or more lateral yarns from a woven industrial textile to prepare it for seaming. The apparatus comprises a movable table, a clamping device to hold the fabric, and a yarn removal device, comprising a cutter and a combined hooked needle and thread catcher. In operation, the yarn removal device moves both vertically into and out of the fabric plane, and horizontally parallel to the longitudinal yarns, piercing the fabric at two locations, cutting one or more yarns, and then grasping the cut section(s) to pull them down and out of the fabric plane. The cycle is repeated to form a longitudinal channel of desired length; the device is then moved laterally and the cycle repeated until an open channel parallel with the lateral fabric edge is accomplished, resulting in reliable seam preparation with reduced damage to remaining yarns.
