20160045834 | OVERLAY OF AVATAR ONTO LIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR RECORDING A VIDEO - Systems and methods enable a user of a mobile device to overlay or integrate a puppet or avatar on or into a live environment data feed provided by an input device such as a camera of the mobile device. In one embodiment, a method includes: creating a puppet; activating at least one input device that provides data from a live environment; controlling motions of the puppet; presenting an overlay of the puppet onto the live environment; and recording a video that integrates the motions of the puppet with the data from the live environment. | 02-18-2016 |

20100313740 | Stringed Instrument for Connection to a Computer to Implement DSP Modeling - Disclosed is a stringed instrument that includes a plurality of strings and a pickup to which each of the plurality of strings is respectively coupled that is connectable to a computer to implement DSP modeling. A serial interface circuit is coupled to the pickup and to a digital connector that formats each digital string vibration signal received from the pickup into a digital serial protocol. A computer is coupled by a serial link to the digital connector such that the computer receives each serially formatted digital string signal (SFDSS). The computer operates at least one audio DSP-based software module to process each received SFDSS wherein each SFDSS is processed in order to emulate a corresponding string tone of one of a plurality of stringed instruments to create an emulated digital string tone signal (EDSTS). Each EDSTS is then transmitted back over the serial link to the stringed instrument for playback. | 12-16-2010 |

20080264084 | PRESSURIZED CLOSED COOLING SYSTEM - An aircraft air conditioning system includes an air supply system (engine bleed or cabin air compressor taking ambient air and pressurizing it at or above cabin pressure) and a cooling system (air cycle or vapor cycle cooling packs to reject heat outside the vessel). These systems can exist as independent systems or combined into a single unit. Air supply and cooling are powered from either engine bleed air or electric power. In order to increase the airflow through the cabin, some cabin air is re-circulated and mixed with fresh air from the air supply system. | 10-30-2008 |
20090326737 | SMART HYBRID ELECTRIC AND BLEED ARCHITECTURE - An aircraft architecture may be designed to create an optimal balance between electric power and bleed power in order to match or improve current more electric architecture (MEA) performance while simplifying power extraction from the engines as well as simplifying the electrical system. Conventional aircraft architectures may use electric only ECS and cabin pressurization systems (so-called “no bleed” systems). Alternatively, older conventional aircraft may use strictly engine bleed air to provide power for ECS and cabin pressurization systems. The present invention, on the other hand, provides an architecture which may optimize the use of both engine bleed air and MEA designs to provide a system that may be simpler and potentially more reliable and available as compared to conventional aircraft architectures. | 12-31-2009 |
20150251765 | LOW-PRESSURE BLEED AIR AIRCRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM - An aircraft environmental control system (ECS) may be configured to operate in first mode and a second mode. The ECS may include an air cycle machine (ACM), a by-pass valve positioned to allow bleed air to by-pass the air cycle machine so that when the by-pass valve is open, the ECS operates in the first mode with bleed air at a first pressure and when the by-pass valve is closed the ECS operates in the second mode at a second bleed air pressure, higher than the first bleed air pressure. A bleed air system controller and ECS controller may be configured to selectively couple high pressure or low pressure bleed air ports of an engine of an aircraft to the ECS and control the by-pass valve position. | 09-10-2015 |

20150350703 | MOVIE PACKAGE FILE FORMAT - Systems and methods for improved video formats used in delivery and playback are presented. According to an embodiment, the movie package format contains tiers that provide for multiple sets of movie variations that are individually selectable for transfer to a device for local playback. A locally stored movie package may contain any subset of available tiers for a movie. Non-resident tiers can be discovered and downloaded into the movie package as needed or when available. Tiers, and other movie files may be updated or added to the movie package at any time. Then users can request updates or the updates can be pushed to the user without affecting the previously downloaded files. | 12-03-2015 |

20120209858 | DETERMINING CONCEPTS ASSOCIATED WITH A QUERY - Determining one or more concepts associated with a query is disclosed. A query is received. A list of concepts and associated scores is received. The concepts fit within a concept hierarchy. A density function is used to evaluate the received concepts. One or more concepts are associated with the query based at least in part on the results of the density function. | 08-16-2012 |
