Filed:

Oct 15, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/419667

Inventors:

Christopher Sung - New York NY
Sean Kelly - Seattle WA

Assignee:

Etonal Media, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G09B 1502

US Classification:

84645, 84600, 84609, 84610, 84477 R

Abstract:

A system and method that allows an on-line user of a wide area network to remotely author and publish instructional material for musical instruments for the purposes of dissemination to other on-line users. Authors create solo musical passages pertaining to a specific instrument, accompanying musical arrangements and textual annotations which are stored on a remote server. This information is then dynamically published visually as standard music notation or tablature, and can be heard aurally as either digital audio or by using the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) standard. The playback of musical examples in this material may be customized, allowing users to change the tempo of the music, to modify the instrument sounds used, or to play subsets of the presented musical examples. Authors can update their music at any time, and since the music is dynamically published, these changes are instantaneously reflected in its published visual and aural forms. All authoring, publishing, and viewing of this material uses temporary applications that operate with a standard Internet browser in conjunction with software that operates on the remote server.

US Classification:

726 18, 380250

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates a controlled communication environment which allows a user to participate in a plurality of privacy contexts with other people in a simultaneous manner in an online community. A user can assign or define varying levels of privacy to his/her information or content to control the visibility of such information by others. In particular, a first user can maintain one or more “gardens” or stores of content which may be accessible to at least a subset of the online community. Access to the contents of any one garden can be based on the privacy level of the garden and the privacy level (e. g. , access parameters) granted to the person. The privacy levels and arrangement of content can be hierarchal and/or non-overlapping. Thus, a user can seamlessly communicate with multiple users at the same time regardless of their context or privacy level while maintaining the privacy boundaries of each garden.

Assignee:

Westvaco Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B41M 500

US Classification:

428212

Abstract:

The inkjet recording sheet of the present invention comprises a cellulosic sheet support, e. g. , paper, having on at least one surface thereof an inkjet coating comprising, in combination, a porous base coat having a high absorption capacity for absorbing the vehicle of an inkjet ink, and an ink receiving coat having a superior capacity for keeping the dyes in the ink on the surface with minimal spreading, tailing or blurring, to provide a sharp image.

Appl. No.:

15/467493

Inventors:

Sean P. Kelly - Ridgewood NJ, US

International Classification:

Abstract:

In a cable packaging system and method a retainer within a container retains coiled cables in a preferred orientation, such as a vertical orientation, with the coil axis of the coiled cable directed longitudinally toward sidewalls of the container and a diameter line of a plane defined by the coil directed toward the top and bottom of the container. The retainer may include a resilient material, such as a foam material, to allow insertion of a coiled cable and return at least partially to a neutral, pre-insertion, position to thereby engage and retain the coiled cable.

Abstract:

A power tool is provided including a housing, a brushless direct-current (BLDC) electric motor disposed inside the housing, power switches disposed between a power supply and the electric motor and including high-side switches and low-side switches, and a control unit configured to control a switching operation of the power switches to operate the electric motor and electronically brake the motor by simultaneously activating the high-side switches or the low-side switches to stop the rotation of the motor upon detection of a condition prompting the braking of the motor. The control unit is configured to detect the condition that prompts the braking of the electric motor, set a braking profile for braking the electric motor based on the detected condition, and execute braking of the electric motor using the braking profile.

International Classification:

G06T 3/00
G06T 15/04
G06T 13/80

Abstract:

Two-dimensional (2D) animation may be generated from a three-dimensional (3D) mesh by a machine or device that flattens, textures, and modifies the 3D mesh, which results in distorting the texture of the 3D mesh. The machine or device is configured to access and flatten a 3D mesh of 3D vertices. At least some of the 3D vertices of the flattened 3D mesh are texture mapped with a 2D image. The machine or device generates a first 2D frame of animation by rendering the 3D mesh (e.g., with graphics acceleration hardware), modifies the 3D mesh by repositioning one or more of the 3D vertices, and generates a second 2D frame of animation by rendering the modified 3D mesh (e.g., with graphics acceleration hardware). Accordingly, 2D animation may be generated by distorting the 2D image that is mapped onto at least part of the 3D mesh.
