20080252047 | SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEFLECTOR BRACKET - A side curtain air bag deflector bracket is provided. A powerful inflator is used that quickly fills a large side curtain air bag. Where an inflator pipe meets the air bag, there is a tendency for the air bag to deflect upwards due to the high volume of air being introduced into the bag in a short period of time. The bracket deflects the side curtain air bag so that, during this type of expansion the air bag can not migrate up into the roof lining structure of the vehicle. The bracket includes a first portion with an arched deflector that deflects the air bag, during expansion, along a path that is close to the surface of the vehicle door. The bracket also includes a second portion that includes a mounting flange and transverse deflector oriented transversely to the arched deflector. | 10-16-2008 |

20090238538 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED COMPILATION AND EDITING OF PERSONALIZED VIDEOS INCLUDING ARCHIVED HISTORICAL CONTENT AND PERSONAL CONTENT - A personalized video system that combines user-supplied data and digital visual images or view with stored archival stock video footage and popular music works of the last century to generate a personalized life story documentary movie. The personalized video system gathers input from the user about the recipient such as age, gender, and relationship to the user and allows the user to upload personal digital images or video of the recipient. The user then inputs the dates of each digital image or video uploaded so that the personalized video system can chronologically order the items in the video. The personalized video system combines the user-supplied information and digital media with archived stock video footage of significant events and famous personalities to place the recipient's life story in a historical context. The personalized video system also provides a music soundtrack and synchronizes the display of the digital media and archived footage to the selected soundtrack. One embodiment allows the user to upload birth certificates, marriage certificates, newspaper clippings or other digitally scanned material for use in the video. Another embodiment allows the user to record or upload a voiceover narrative, sound effects or other audio content. | 09-24-2009 |

20140063098 | ALIGNING PRINT DATA USING MATCHING PIXEL PATTERNS - A method for aligning multi-channel digital image data for a digital printer having a plurality of printheads is described. A test pattern including test pattern indicia printed using individual printheads is scanned and analyzed to detect locations of the printed test pattern indicia. One of the printheads is designated to be a reference printhead, and one or more of the other printheads are designated to be non-reference printheads. Spatial adjustment parameters are determined for each of the non-reference printheads responsive to the detected test pattern indicia locations. Digital image data for the non-reference printheads is modified by designating an input pixel neighborhood within which an image pixel should be inserted or deleted, comparing the image pixels in the input pixel neighborhood to a plurality of predefined pixel patterns to identify a matching pixel pattern; and determining a modified pixel neighborhood responsive to the matching pixel pattern. | 03-06-2014 |

A test pattern including test pattern indicia printed using individual printheads is scanned and analyzed to detect locations of the printed test pattern indicia. For each array position, one of the printheads is designated to be a reference printhead, and one or more of the other printheads are designated to be non-reference printheads. Spatial adjustment parameters are determined for each of the non-reference printheads responsive to the detected test pattern indicia locations. Digital image data to be printed with the non-reference printheads is modified in accordance with the determined spatial adjustment parameters. | 03-06-2014 |

20090074972 | METHOD FOR SUBSTRATE STABILIZATION OF DIFFUSION ALUMINIDE COATED NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOYS - An article and method for stabilization of a nickel-based superalloy coated with a diffusion aluminide coating. The region below the aluminide coating is first carburized to form refractory carbides. The article is cleaned and masked as required so that regions that will not have an aluminide coating are not carburized. After placing the article into a furnace and heating in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to a carburizing temperature, a carburizing gas is introduced, and the near surface region is carburized to a depth of about 100 microns. Refractory carbides are formed in this region. When a diffusion aluminide coating is formed on the article, the refractory elements, being present as refractory carbides, are not available to form detrimental TCP phases. | 03-19-2009 |
