Patent CA-2092692-A1 (CA)
Title: Mechanism for controlling presentation of displayed picture
Inventor: TIMMERMANS JOZEF MARIA KAREL
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1991-09-13
Abstract: A digital picture processing system digitizes and stores the digitized photographic film picture (421) in their captured orientation on film, in order to obviate the need to physically rotate the film scanner relative to the film for vertical pictures, thereby significantly reducing the complexity and cost of the scanner. Instead, each stored picture file (421) has an associated presentation control file (422), which contains orientation and aspect ratio information, so that the picture playback device will know how each picture has been stored on the digital picture database, such as a compact disc. When the disc is inserted into a playback device for driving an output display such as a color TV monitor, the playback device is readily able to decode the playback control information in the course of reading out the digitized picture, so that the picture will be displayed in an upright orientation and at the correct aspect ratio for the display.

IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 1993-06-11
Abstract: ABSTRACT This invention relates to novelties and in particular to a hand-held, candy holding/dispensing device designed to hold multiple pieces of candy in a housing.  The self-contained candies are loaded in the housing at the factory and can be replaced by the consumer by removing the bottom base or inserting through the top one at a time.  The housing has an open end at the top with a perforated plastic shield through which a shaft extends from the bottom of the housing through the top of the housing and is secured into place by a threaded cap at the bottom of the housing.  Each piece of candy has a hole through the center to conform to a flexible locking system fixed at the top of the shaft and is loaded onto the top of the shaft by unscrewing the threaded cap at the bottom of the shaft and pulling down until the top of the shaft and the flexible locking system is locked inside the topmost piece of candy.  The shaft, along with the attached piece of candy, is then pushed upward through the perforated plastic shield at the top of the cylindrical shaped housing and the threaded cap is then secured to the bottom base.  The candy is now ready for consumption and the shaft will be held in place by the threaded end threaded into the bottom base during consumption of the candy.  After each piece of candy has been consumed, the candy pieces can be replaced and the candy holding/dispensing device can continue to be used.
