A driver extension with hand knobs is shown and described. The driver extension with hand knobs includes an elongated rod. The elongated rod has a first end opposite a second end. The first end of the elongated rod is a tool attachment end. The second end of the elongated rod is a securement end for a socket or a screwdriver. A pair of opposing hand knobs are secured along the elongated rod extending away from the elongated rod. The knobs are positioned in the same plane.

A two-dimensional augmentation image is rendered from a three-dimensional model from a first virtual perspective. A transformation is applied to the augmentation image to yield an updated two-dimensional augmentation image that approximates a second virtual perspective of the three-dimensional model without additional rendering from the three-dimensional model.

Augmented-reality imaging

A global tag for an image is received identifies one or more objects in the image, and a region-specific tag for the image identifies one or more objects in a region of the image. The global tag and the region-specific tag are stored with the image. Displayed, along with the image, is an identifier for each of the one or more objects identified in the global tag, and an identifier for each of the one or more objects identified in the region-specific tag. Different users are able to maintain different names for the same person, allowing the same tag of the image to be used as the basis for displaying the image with different names for the different users. Additionally, the tags can be used as a basis for generating a credits list of people that are included in a compilation of images.

Image tagging user interface

A determination is made for each of multiple regions in multiple images of how good that region is perceived as being. A base image is identified, and a combined image is generated from the multiple images by automatically replacing each region of the base image with a corresponding region of another image if the corresponding region has been determined as being better than the region of the base image. The generating of the combined image can include automatically selecting from one of the multiple images a region in which an object that is present in one or more corresponding regions of other images is absent. Additionally, for a particular region of the base image, corresponding regions of the other images can be displayed, and the particular region replaced with a user-selected one of the corresponding regions of the other images.

A precisely measured removable cover for reusable beverage containers with releasable closures. The cover has a flexible sheet with a graphical display imprinted on one side and a cover fastener for removably fastening the cover to a container. The sheet is advantageously adapted to substantially cover the side walls of the container. The cover fastener has one or more releasable closures, and at least one of the releasable closures includes a fluked tab interlock locking tab and slot structure, wherein the fluked tab is on one end of the cover and the slot is proximate the opposite end of the cover and parallel to the fluked tab. A cam/slot paired closure is also disclosed.

Releasable closures for removable display surfaces

A precisely measured removable cover for reusable beverage containers. A covering of independently resilient material is precisely cut to fit a given size and shape of pot, and the material has imprinted on it a desired promotional or advertising message and/or graphics. The covering material is removably fastened with releasable closures to the outside of the pot in such a way as not to impair significantly the natural independent resiliency of the material. Thus, dents in the pot do not generally show in the covering surface because it retains its independent resiliency, even if the blow was delivered through the covering surface. Messages may be changed as often as suits the promotional and decorative needs of the owner of the pot, so the display surface is always timely and in top condition. An optional &ldquo;window&rdquo; permits display of interchangeable labels on the inside of the covering. When the display surface is fully removed, the original surface of the pot is substantially restored to its former appearance. Optionally, a protective plastic covering or overlaminant is attached to the print side of the covering material, so that when the printed cover is in its removed state, the printing will not be accidentally damaged by scratching. Some embodiments employ a nylon fabric cover material with promotional printing.
