The proposed invention is an apparatus and method that enables video communication through a studio that is placed in a public location whereby a studio user records a performance, presentation, or an interview. In one embodiment, information seekers with special interests may view interviews or presentations recorded by studio users pertaining to subject matter relevant to that special interest. In one embodiment, a performance is recorded and uploaded to the Internet where the general public locates and views the performance. In an alternative embodiment, the performance is rated.

A space-efficient workroom organization system comprising a slotwall panel and / or slot track storage system with at least one repositionable slotwall or slot track mounted storage cabinet, and a workbench system comprising a workbench having a work surface and defining a storage recess beneath the work surface, with at least one mobile storage cabinet.

The present invention discloses a station, e.g., for IC fabrication with a flexible configuration. It consists of an array of processing chambers, which are grouped into processing modules and arranged in a two-dimensional fashion, in vertical levels and horizontal rows, and is capable of operating independent of each other. Each processing chamber can perform electroless deposition and other related processing steps sequentially on a wafer with more than one processing fluid without having to remove it from the chamber. The system is served by a single common industrial robot, which may have a random to access to all the working chambers and cells of the storage unit for transporting wafers between the wafer cassettes and inlet / outlets ports of any of the chemical processing chambers. The station occupies a service-room floor space and a clean-room floor space. The processing modules and the main chemical management unit connected to the local chemical supply unit occupy a service-room floor space, while the robot and the wafer storage cassettes are located in a clean room. Thus, in distinction to the known cluster-tool machines, the station of the invention makes it possible to transfer part of the units from the expensive clean-room area to less-expensive service area.

A methodology for handling photographic film in which a video image of each frame of film is acquired on a diskette as the frames are originally being processed in the photographic laboratory, the diskette is transmitted to the photographer's studio, along with the proof prints, for viewing by the photographer / subject, the photographer / subject makes further desired corrections or adjustments of each frame by viewing the video image of each frame on a computer monitor, the farther corrections or adjustments are recorded on the diskette for each frame, and the revised diskette is returned to the photographic laboratory where it is used in conjunction with the film to produce final photographic prints. The final photographic prints thus graphically and objectively reflect the precise desires of the photographer / subject.

A workroom is automatically established for each job created and is associated with a unique email address. The workroom allows members to hold live meetings, communicate in real-time, including via email, upload / manage / share files, and automatically provide transcripts of communication. The workroom also allows team members to launch work trackers directly from the workroom. A work tracker collects work information and directly generates one or more status reports based on the work information collected. A status report includes a back-end version viewable and modifiable by a service provider and a front-end version viewable by a buyer. The status report directly generates an invoice based on the information from the status report. The invoice is submitted to the buyer and allows the buyer to directly pay the service provider.

A system and method provide for incorporating domain-specific business objects into process design. The method includes providing a domain meta-model, which links a set of elements, the elements including domain-specific business objects representing pieces of data, each of the domain-specific business objects being associated with a set of features, the set of features including an identifier feature. Business object definitions for types of domain-specific business objects are incorporated into the domain meta-model to generate a domain model including the defined domain-specific business objects. A domain-specific process studio is generated, based on the domain model, which enables a user to edit a representation of a business process that includes a sequence of process steps. The representation of the business process includes at least one process step that is linked to one of the domain-specific business objects in the domain model. One or more of the steps of the method may be performed with a processor.

An automated music performance system that is driven by the music-theoretic state descriptors of any musical structure (e.g. a music composition or sound recording). The system can be used with next generation digital audio workstations (DAWs), virtual studio technology (VST) plugins, virtual music instrument libraries, and automated music composition and generation engines, systems and platforms. The automated music performance system generates unique digital performances of pieces of music, using virtual musical instruments created from sampled notes or sounds and / or synthesized notes or sounds. Each virtual music instrument has its own set of music-theoretic state responsive performance rules that are automatically triggered by the music theoretic state descriptors of the music composition or performance to be digitally performed. An automated virtual music instrument (VMI) library selection and performance subsystem is provided for managing the virtual musical instruments during the automated digital music performance process.

A work booth (22) having a work chamber (20) and an integrated scale (10) that includes a load carrier (12) which is arranged in the work chamber (20) of the work booth (22), a weighing system (14) which is arranged outside the work chamber of the work booth (22), and a coupling element (16) which connects the load carrier (12) to the weighing system (14). The work chamber (20) of the work booth (22) has a ventilation opening (28), through which air can be extracted from the work chamber (20) of the work booth (22).

A method for operating a tattoo studio includes identifying a customer selection of a tattoo design and a bin designator for a stencil for the tattoo design; locating a storage bin containing a stencil for the tattoo design; and scanning a bar code assigned to the stencil. The method can also include scanning at least a second barcode associated with a tattoo enhancement including a non-standard paint, an additional paint color, or a mixture of paint colors. Inventory control is verified using a match code and pre-packaged sets of numbered stencils.

A novel electronic system provides fast three-dimensional model generation, social content sharing of dynamic three-dimensional models, and monetization of the dynamic three-dimensional models created by casual consumers. In one embodiment, a casual consumer utilizes a dedicated real-time 3D model reconstruction studio with multiple camera angles, and then rapidly create dynamic 3D models with novel computational methods performed in scalable graphics processing units. In another embodiment, uncalibrated multiple sources of video recording of a targeted object are provided by a plurality of commonly-available consumer video recording devices (e.g. a smart phone, a camcorder, a digital camera, etc.) located at different angles, after which the uncalibrated multiple sources of video recording are transmitted to a novel cloud computing system for real-time temporal, spatial, and photometrical calibration and 3D model reconstruction. The dynamic 3D models can be uploaded, listed, and shared among content creators and viewers in an electronic sharing platform.
