Binary Showdown
XML Journal
On September 24 the W3C set in motion a process that could radically change not only how XML is used and how XML-based applications are developed - but XML itself right down to its beloved (or detested) pointyangle brackets. "The W3C Workshop on Binary Interchange of XML Information Items Sets" brought together 34 interested parties divided among binary revolutionaries, pointyangle- bracket fundamentalists, and a number of fence-sitters to try to form a community consensus and to decide whether…

"The W3C Workshop on Binary Interchange of XML Information Items Sets" brought together 34 interested parties divided among binary revolutionaries, pointyangle- bracket fundamentalists, and a number of fence-sitters to try to form a community consensus and to decide whether or not to move forward to a full W3C activity and a binary XML Recommendation.

Slip-modulated Propioceptive Infinitely Variable Transmission and Robotic Power Distribution System
Filed US US20190128390A1
A transmission or actuator offering one or more rotational outputs proportionate in speed and direction to that of a common rotational input, each with its own ratio coupled with a controllable dynamic slip/compliance element and optionally either of a one-way bearing or brake preventing back driving. Ratios are continuously variable between positive and negative values, including infinity, varied by mechanical or electromechanical actuators under external or computer control. The transmission…
A transmission or actuator offering one or more rotational outputs proportionate in speed and direction to that of a common rotational input, each with its own ratio coupled with a controllable dynamic slip/compliance element and optionally either of a one-way bearing or brake preventing back driving. Ratios are continuously variable between positive and negative values, including infinity, varied by mechanical or electromechanical actuators under external or computer control. The transmission may intrinsically integrate multiple partial transmissions for increasing torque capability, rapidly changing between alternate settings, and/or to drive multiple outputs with customizable design. A communicating system of such distributed transmissions forming a hierarchy or network, each transmission driven directly by a motor, indirectly by the output of another transmission, or both, including indirect cumulative forward and back driving throughout the hierarchy or network. Such a network of actuators for complex robotic, manufacturing, movement, or transport applications.

System and method for extracting components from images
Issued US
A user may create an avatar and/or animated sequence illustrating a particular object or living being performing a certain activity, using images of portions of the object or living being extracted from a still image or set of still images of the object or living being. A mathematical model used to represent the avatar may be animated according to user-selected motion information and may be modified according to various parameters including explicit end-user adjustments and information…
A user may create an avatar and/or animated sequence illustrating a particular object or living being performing a certain activity, using images of portions of the object or living being extracted from a still image or set of still images of the object or living being. A mathematical model used to represent the avatar may be animated according to user-selected motion information and may be modified according to various parameters including explicit end-user adjustments and information representative of a human emotion, mood, or feeling that may be derived from an image of the user or information from a news source or social network.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFORMATION PRESENTATION
Issued US 20120182288
Methods and apparatus are provided for presenting information associated with display of text. In one embodiment a method includes displaying a graphical representation of at least one of text and diagram data on a display, displaying a graphical element, by the device, to provide an indication of information associated with the graphical representation, and detecting a triggering input during display of the graphical representation, wherein the triggering input is based on displacement of the…

In one embodiment a method includes displaying a graphical representation of at least one of text and diagram data on a display, displaying a graphical element, by the device, to provide an indication of information associated with the graphical representation, and detecting a triggering input during display of the graphical representation, wherein the triggering input is based on displacement of the device. The method may further include updating the display to present information associated with the graphical representation of the at least one of text and diagram data. Methods and devices may also be provided to allow for display of diagram data and information in a layered format, wherein information may be displayed separately or in addition to a graphical display.
