The invention discloses an implementation method of skinned skeletal animation. The implementation method comprises the following steps: A, constructing a skeleton model and a skinned mesh model which constitute a role model; B, determining a skeleton which influences the mesh vertexes on the skinned mesh model, and determining the influence weight according to a geometrical relationship and a physical relationship between the skeleton and the vertexes; C, carrying out calculus of interpolation between each two adjacent key frames according to a key frame sequence of skeleton movement, which is stored in a role model file, and determining new position and new orientation of each skeleton at certain moment; and D, calculating new position and new orientation of each vertex under a world coordinate system according to skeleton index and corresponding influence weight which influence each vertex and are stored in each vertex on the skinned mesh model, and thus achieving skinned skeleton animation. According to the implementation method disclosed by the invention, the joint problem in skeletal animation is solved, the effect is real and vivid, and is more flexible compared with that of vertex animation, and little memory space is occupied while a favorable animation effect is finished; the skinned skeletal animation can be constructed more easily and rapidly.

A personally identifiable information (PII) scrubbing system. The PII scrubbing system surgically scrubs PII form a log based on a scrubber configuration corresponding to the log. The scrubber configuration includes context information about locations and types of PII in the log and rules specifying how to locate and protect the PII. Scrubber configurations are quickly and easily created or modified as scrubbing requirements change or new scenarios are encountered. The flexibility provided by the scrubber configurations allows only the PII to be scrubbed, even from unstructured data, without having to include surrounding data. Many consumers can use the scrubbed data without needed to expose the PII because less non-personal data is obscured. Surgical scrubbing also retains the usefulness of the underlying PII even while protecting the PII. Consumers can correlate the protected PII to locate specific information without having to expose additional PII.

The framework provides a way to create and organize “tasks” or “activities” into “events” with disparate configurations that can be used to model everything from games to relationships to business processes. Each event will have one or more tasks that will require certain steps or actions in order to be completed. Once all required activities or tasks in a given event have been completed, the goals and objectives associated with that event will have been accomplished. It is possible to provide various rewards or incentives as various tasks or combinations of tasks are completed. The framework provides a way to quickly and easily create multiple events, specifically targeted to very narrow needs and circumstances, providing significantly greater flexibility for the use of social networking tools and services in many more environments.

A system and method for generating color gradients is provided. The system generates color gradients using techniques from geometric surface modeling. The system and method of the present invention allow designers to specify very complex gradients in a simple way. The system can employ, for example, a vector-based interpolation method and/or a pixel-based partial differential equation (PDE) interpolation methods to facilitate generation of the color gradients. In one example, input boundary curves and/or feature curves are approximated by line segments, which are then utilized to generate a triangulation approximating a smooth color gradient.

Systems and methods are disclosed for creating and updating medical records and documents. A user input is received in a first section on an interface comprising unstructured textual data that is associated with a medical record. The user input received in the first section may be utilized to update the medical record preferably without requiring the user to provide an additional second input in a separate section. At least a portion of the unstructured textual data is mapped to one or more attributes associated with a structured format for the medical record. In response to receiving a single data transfer command, an instruction is generated causing a transfer of the unstructured textual data to a second section on the interface associated with the structured format for the medical record. The mapped data is displayed in the second section in accordance with the structured format.
