| 20130063319 | METHOD AND REMOTELY ADJUSTABLE REACTIVE AND RESISTIVE ELECTRICAL ELEMENTS - Apparatus and method that includes providing a variable-parameter electrical component in a high-field environment and based on an electrical signal, automatically moving a movable portion of the electrical component in relation to another portion of the electrical component to vary at least one of its parameters. In some embodiments, the moving uses a mechanical movement device (e.g., a linear positioner, rotary motor, or pump). In some embodiments of the method, the electrical component has a variable inductance, capacitance, and/or resistance. Some embodiments include using a computer that controls the moving of the movable portion of the electrical component in order to vary an electrical parameter of the electrical component. Some embodiments include using a feedback signal to provide feedback control in order to adjust and/or maintain the electrical parameter. Some embodiments include a non-magnetic positioner connected to an electrical component configured to have its RLC parameters varied by the positioner. | 03-14-2013 |

| 20130326381 | DIGITAL ART PROGRAM INTERACTION AND MECHANISMS - The subject disclosure is directed towards a digital art program, including user interfaces for user interaction with the digital art program. Described are interactive elements, tools, effects, features, commands and so forth for operating and experiencing the digital art program. | 12-05-2013 |
| 20140132614 | DIGITAL ART UNDO AND REDO - The subject disclosure is directed towards saving undo state information for a digital art program. Changed state data is computed (e.g., via GPU-side logic) based upon the state information of the current state of a canvas and the previous state information, e.g., via an XOR operation or parallel XOR operations. The changed state data is compressed into compressed state data, e.g., via run-length encoding, and the compressed state data is stored, e.g., in a circular buffer in GPU memory. For an undo command, the compressed data is decompressed into the changed state data, and the bitwise operation reversed. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140132619 | Simulating Interaction of Different Media - A graphics system is described for simulating the interaction of two or more types of media on a simulated canvas. The graphics system performs this task by consulting a media adhesion matrix which determines a type of behavior that is produced when an attempt is made to add a new medium over the top of an existing medium. In one scenario, the new medium is a watercolor medium which does not apply over a hydrophobic media (such as an oil medium), but may tunnel under such hydrophobic medium in a flow layer during a simulation operation. Various provisions are also disclosed herein to improve the efficiency of the simulation operation. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140289663 | Producing Artwork Based on an Imported Image - A painting system is described herein for producing artwork. In one implementation, the painting system operates by receiving an input image of any type from any source. The painting system then imports the input image into a painting mechanism. Thereafter, the painting system allows a user to produce artwork by modifying the input image, as if the input image constituted paint that the user applied in manual fashion using the painting mechanism. This technology facilitates the production of artwork, as the user can leverage an already-existing image in producing the artwork. | 09-25-2014 |

| 20130138424 | Context-Aware Interaction System Using a Semantic Model - The subject disclosure is directed towards detecting symbolic activity within a given environment using a context-dependent grammar. In response to receiving sets of input data corresponding to one or more input modalities, a context-aware interactive system processes a model associated with interpreting the symbolic activity using context data for the given environment. Based on the model, related sets of input data are determined. The context-aware interactive system uses the input data to interpret user intent with respect to the input and thereby, identify one or more commands for a target output mechanism. | 05-30-2013 |
| 20140132617 | SIMULATION OF OIL PAINT ON A CANVAS - Various technologies described herein pertain to simulating oil painting. Data can be received from a sensor that indicates a desired orientation of an image editing tool with respect to a computer-implemented canvas. The computer-implemented canvas can include a paint map, which includes color values and height values of pixels representative of oil paint deposited on the computer-implemented canvas. Moreover, a footprint of the image editing tool upon the computer-implemented canvas can be computed based upon the data from the sensor. Further, an oil paint ridge model can be generated by modulating height values of a subset of the pixels from the paint map that are outside the footprint and less than or equal to a predetermined distance from an edge of the footprint. A display screen of a computing device can be caused to update an image rendered thereupon based upon the oil paint ridge model. | 05-15-2014 |

| 20150089077 | MANAGING DATA TRANSFER USING STREAMING PROTOCOLS - Techniques are described for managing data transmissions between computing systems based at least in part on using a streaming transport protocol. At least some such data transmissions may be performed using HTTP, with one or more underlying transport protocols used to implement the HTTP-based data transmissions. HTTP-based data transmissions performed using an underlying streaming transport protocol, for example, may send data without performing error detection for reliability and without ensuring ordered delivery of the sent data. In addition, one or more HTTP-based data transmissions may be initiated using an underlying streaming transport protocol, but subsequent data transmissions may switch to using a different underlying transport protocol (e.g., TCP) or different transmission technique that is performed without using data streaming. | 03-26-2015 |

| 20130020812 | TAMPER PROOF LOCK AND METHOD - A tamper proof lock mountable to a door and configured to functionally cooperate with a strike plate having a hole that is mounted to a portion of a door frame. The lock comprises a wedge bolt having an oblique surface configured to cooperate with the strike plate. The wedge bolt is configured to be inserted in the hole to retain the door in its closed position. A shield is provided and configured to cooperate with the wedge bolt such that the oblique surface of the wedge bolt is rendered inaccessible when the wedge bolt is disposed in the hole of the strike plate and the oblique surface of the wedge bolt is exposed in anticipation for interaction with the strike plate when the door is not disposed in the closed position. | 01-24-2013 |

| 20150308943 | GLASS SHEET ACQUISITION AND POSITIONING MECHANISM FOR AN INLINE SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A GLASS SHEET - A glass sheet acquisition and positioning mechanism and associated method are utilized in an in-line glass sheet optical inspection system. The mechanism includes an exterior support frame mounted in proximity to one of the glass sheet processing system conveyors, and an interior support frame operably connected to the exterior support frame such that the interior support frame may be selectively positioned from its first orientation to a second orientation whereby the retained glass sheet is positioned between the camera and the screen at a preselected position. The interior support frame is also operably connected to the exterior support frame to provide for positioning of the interior support frame to a third orientation in which the glass sheet is released from the interior support frame for continued movement on the conveyor. An in-line glass sheet optical inspection system incorporating the glass sheet acquisition and positioning mechanism is also disclosed. | 10-29-2015 |
