A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest in an information representation including the steps of: selecting a viewpoint for the region-of-interest; creating a lens surface for the region-of-interest; the lens surface having a focal region and a shoulder region surrounding the focal region; creating a transformed presentation by: determining boundaries in the representation for the focal region and the shoulder region; determining boundaries on the lens surface corresponding to the boundaries in the representation by applying a distortion function defining the lens surface to the boundaries in the representation; perspectively projecting the boundaries on the lens surface onto a plane spaced from the viewpoint; and, copying information in the representation lying within the boundaries in the representation onto the focal region and the shoulder region of the lens surface using respective focal region and shoulder region stretch bit-block transfer operations; and, displaying the transformed presentation on a display screen to generate the presentation of the region-of-interest.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for eliciting immune responses against antigens. In particular embodiments, the compounds and methods elicit immune responses against antigens that are otherwise recognized by the host as “self” antigens. The immune response is enhanced by presenting the host immune system with a chimeric antigen comprising an immune response domain and a target binding domain, wherein the target binding domain comprises a xenotypic antibody fragment. By virtue of the target binding domain, antigen presenting cells take up, process, and present the chimeric antigen, eliciting both a humoral and cellular immune response.

A method for generating a presentation of region-of-interest in an information representation including the steps of: selecting a viewpoint for the region-of-interest; selecting a location for the region-of-interest; creating a lens surface having a predetermined location for the region-of-interest; creating a transformed presentation by: determining a mapping for pixel coordinates from the representation to the lens surface by applying a distortion function defining said lens surface to said pixel coordinates; calculating a vector from the predetermined location to the location; and, copying pixel information from the representation to the lens surface according to the mapping as displaced by the vector; and, displaying the transformed presentation on a display screen to generate the presentation of the region-of-interest.

Contact-less remote-sensing crack detection and/quantification methodologies are described, which are based on three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction, image processing, and pattern recognition. The systems and methodologies can utilize depth perception for detecting and/or quantifying cracks. These methodologies can provide the ability to analyze images captured from any distance and using any focal length or resolution. This adaptive feature may be especially useful for incorporation into mobile systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or mobile autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic systems such as wheel-based or track-based radio controlled robots, as utilizing such structural inspection methods onto those mobile platforms may allow inaccessible regions to be properly inspected for cracks.

Embodiments provide a visual analyzer system that can update an existing visualization upon receiving a user request to modify a dimension of data being presented by the visualization. Embodiments may provide an updated visualization, possibly of a different visualization type and/or with pre-existing dimensions mapped to different edges, without requiring any user specification of which dimensions to be mapped to which edges of the visualization. The system can determine configurations for the various visualization types and compute, for each configuration, a visualization score. Based on the scores, the system can select a configuration and render the updated visualization on a graphical user interface (GUI) to the user. Further, in response to user specification to change a representation of data from one visualization type to another, embodiments may determine an effective and intuitive manner in which to present the same set of data in the visualization of the other type.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention relates to the preparation and delivery of media content from a source to a remote device, and the use of the remote device to re-construct, format, composite, convert and/or otherwise pre-process the content into a suitable form for presentation/playback. In particular it relates to audio and/or visual content that may be delivered in a piecemeal, disjoint, complex and/or highly compressed form to a remote mobile device such as a mobile phone where such a device may not have the capability to adequately present the content in its delivered form without further pre-processing due to insufficient on-board processing power or format incompatibilities. The present invention also allows for media content to be reconstituted for presentation in a variety of ways without the need to re-deliver the entire content each time.

A system and method for a pre-print, three-dimensional virtual rendering of a print piece is disclosed. A plurality of modular/pipelined architectural layers are managed, operated, and organized by a controller. A product definition is provided to a job ticket adaptation layer where it is transformed into a physical model. The physical model is then transformed into a display model via the product model layer. The display model is transformed into a scene that can be displayed on a graphical user interface as a three dimensional virtual rendering by a rendering layer, where the binding elements may further include 3D binding models as well as 2D textures on 3D surfaces to simulate 3D models.

The display model is transformed into a scene that can be displayed on a graphical user interface as a three dimensional virtual rendering by a rendering layer, where the rendering includes one or more binding elements to satisfy the product definition. The modularity further enables different product description formats to be supported by only altering the job ticket adaptation layer, and that different graphics rendering engines can be supported by altering only the rendering layer.

A tactile sense presentation device is provided which is simple in structure, and is able to give a real tactile sense to a human body by causing electrical stimulation to effectively act thereon, while holding original human tactile sense. The electric tactile sense presentation device includes an electrode substrate adapted to be worn on a human body so as to be in contact with a skin, and a multitude of electrodes formed on a contact surface of the electrode substrate for contact with the skin to present a tactile sense by means of electrical stimulation, wherein the electrode substrate is composed of a flexible circuit body which is flexible to enable a portion thereof in contact with a real object to flexibly deform so as to conform to deformation of the skin, and it is configured such that electrical stimulation by the electrodes is superimposed on the tactile sense of a human being, while maintaining the human tactile sense.

The present invention provides an immunogenic composition comprising a T-cell antigen in association with a rhamnose monosaccharide and/or Forssman disaccharide, and corresponding methods for inducing immune response.
