The present invention provides a method and system of storing information for drawing an object on a computer system that includes providing a palette file that includes a set of first labels matched with numerical values, tagging a vector graphics file for drawing the object with second labels, translating the second labels into one or more of the first labels, and plugging in values stored in the palette file associated with the translated second labels into the tagged vector graphics file.

The methods and systems for scoring multiple time-based assets and events include declaratively playing a first media sequence; and declaratively initiating a second media sequence at a predetermined time prior to an end point of the first media sequence wherein the predetermined time is independent from an amount of time utilized to play the first media sequence.

Methods and systems for scoring multiple time-based assets and events

A truck bed organizer comprising two base sides, a rear base end, and a front cab base end. Each base side has a base side rod and two base side legs ending in base side feet. The rear base end has a rear base end rod and two rear base end legs ending in rear base end feet. The front cab base end has a front cab base end rod and two front cab base end legs ending in front cab base end feet. The base side rods, rear base end rod, and front cab base end rod form a substantially rectangular shape upon which an elevated flat platform is optionally attached. A base brace optionally provides structural support as desired. An alternative embodiment of the truck bed organizer comprises an elevated flat platform, a means for positioning the platform, and a substantially empty storage cavity below the platform.

A system and method for the real-time composition and presentation of a complex, dynamic, and interactive experience by means of an efficient declarative markup language. Using the Surface construct, authors can embed images or full-motion video data anywhere they would use a traditional texture map within their 3D scene. Authors can also use the results of rendering one scene description as an image to be texture mapped into another scene. In particular, the Surface allows the results of any rendering application to be used as a texture within the author's scene. This allows declarative rendering of nested scenes and rendering of scenes having component Surfaces with decoupled rendering rates.

Unified surface model for image based and geometric scene composition

A system and method for declarative markup that allows temporal manipulation of media assets. The media assets can be audio media, video media, animations, audio-visual media, images or events. Using the present invention a media sequence can be formed by playing more than one medium in series, in parallel or in any other temporal combination wherein a medium is cued to another medium. A media sequence created using the present invention can become part of a new media sequence, and the rate of playing the media sequence can be controlled by fields associated with the new media sequence. Also, using present invention, a media sequence can be cued to start playing at a fixed time before the end of a first media sequence, and in this instance the length of the first media sequence can be varied while still maintaining the fixed time from the end of the first media sequence.

A lightweight removable combination air and insect control panel for mounting on the internal or external sides of window frames in situ for the tight sealing thereof, said panel having two portions, a full frame portion having a sheet of rigid transparent material in its upper second and a sheet of screen material in its lower section, both being tightly secured in a lightweight frame structure. A second half-frame portion has a sheet of rigid transparent material secured in a similar half-size perimeter frame sized to fit over the screened section of the full frame portion. The frame structure also includes grooves for the insertion and securing of flexible weather stripping to ensure a tight retention of the screen material and a tight seal against the window frame. Two circular loops at the top of the panel engage corresponding hooks on the window frame. A minimal number of side and base spring loaded fastening means are used to secure the combination control panel in its sealed position. Using only the full frame portion, the combination control panel functions as a window screen. Hanging the half-frame portion over the screened section converts it to a full storm sash or air control panel.

Combination control panel

A ski binding permitting rapid and easy attachment of skis to ski boots while also permitting sure, reliable disengagement of the skis from the ski boots upon application of a pre-set amount of twisting force, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to the skier in the event the skier falls. A first assembly is attached to each ski and includes a housing having a cam positioned therein and rotatable between a hook-retaining position and a hook-releasing position, a first bias device for inhibiting rotation of the cam from the hook-retaining position to the hook releasing position, and a second bias device for retaining a hook within the cam. A second assembly is provided to attach to the skier's boots, and the first and second assemblies are releasably coupled together by a hook. In one embodiment, the second assembly includes a housing attached to the ski boot and having a slot for receipt of the hook, a movable pin to retain the hook in the housing, and a lever for controlling movement of the pin. In a second embodiment, the second assembly includes a plate having the hook attached thereto and means for fastening the plate to the ski boot.
