1. A locking mechanism in combination with a tube’s assembly for immobilizing said assembly and which results from its sliding motion from an unlocked mode to its locked mode,
said locking mechanism comprising
a body having a first bore between opposing walls in said body,
a shaft slidably movable in the first bore and having a length extending beyond one of said opposing walls such extended length including a portion of length by which the tube’s assembly is caused to be immobilized,
said shaft including a point therealong within said body,
means in said body for engaging said shaft in its sliding motion to lock said shaft at said point and by which locking said shaft’s extended length is prepared to immobilize the tube’s assembly,
said shaft locked from moving by said engaging means in the immobilized condition for the tube assembly,
said tube’s assembly having a tube and a member supporting said tube,
said tube assembly including a stop means, and
means for securely mounting said locking mechanism to said member,
whereby upon the locking of said shaft said stop means abuts said portion of length of said shaft’s extended length for preventing mobilization of said tube assembly.
2. In the combination of claim 1, said locking mechanism including
means on said shaft exteriorly of said body for preventing said shaft from escaping from said first bore in its sliding motion.
3. In the locking mechanism of claim 2,
said preventing means takes the form of spaced collars securely mounted to said shaft.
4. The combination of claim 3 wherein
said preventing means comprises
at least one collar securely mounted on the extended length of said shaft.
5. In the locking mechanism of claim 3,
one of said collars is fixedly mounted along the elongated length of said shaft and the other of said collars is securely mounted on said shaft exteriorly of said body beyond the other of said opposing walls.
6. The locking mechanism of claim 1, wherein
said body is formed in a solid linear configuration, said first bore and said shaft extending in proximity to and along a top linear wall of said configuration, said engaging means seated in a second bore formed inwardly from a linear bottom wall of said body,
said mounting means formed in a linear side wall of said body, said first bore and said second bore in non-interference manner with said mounting means in said configuration.
7. The combination of claim 1 wherein said tube is a roller-tube for an awning, and said stop means is securely mounted to a cap on said roller-tube in said assembly,
whereby upon engagement of said engaging means with said point the portion of length on said elongated length of said shaft abuts said stop means to immobilize said roller-tube.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining neuro-response data from a subject exposed to media;
dividing the media into a number of media portions, the number of media portions determined based on the neuro-response data; and
blending the media with a video having a plurality of frames by combining the media portions with respective video frames;
wherein the media reaches a discernibility threshold when the video is played at an accelerated rate and does not reach the discernibility threshold when the video is played at a normal speed.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the accelerated rate is in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the media is an image comprising a plurality of image pixels and each of the number of media portions comprises a subset of the plurality of image pixels.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of media portions is further based on a multiple of a most common accelerated rate.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein blending comprises at least one of adjusting a hue, adjusting a saturation, or adjusting the number of media portions.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the discernibility threshold based on survey data.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the discernibility threshold based on the neuro-response data.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the neuro-response data comprises one of more of electroencephalographic data or electrooculographic data.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the respective video frames are intra-coded frames.
10. A system, comprising:
a data collector to obtain neuro-response data from a subject exposed to media; and
a processor to:
divide the media into a number of media portions, the number of media portions determined based on the neuro-response data; and
blend the media with a video having a plurality of frames by combining respective ones of the media portions with corresponding ones of the video frames;
wherein the media reaches a discernibility threshold when the video is played at an accelerated rate and does not reach the discernibility threshold when the video is played at a normal speed.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the accelerated rate is in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the number of media portions is further based on a multiple of a most common accelerated rate.
13. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is to adjust at least one of a hue, a saturation, or the number of the plurality of media portions to blend the media with the video.
14. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is to determine the discernibility threshold based on one or more of survey data or neuro-response data.
15. The system of claim 10, wherein the neuro-response data comprises one of more of electroencephalographic data or electrooculographic data.
16. The method of claim 7, wherein the neuro-response data includes electroencephalographic data comprising a plurality of frequency bands and the discernibility threshold is determined based on analyzing two or more of the frequency bands.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein two of the frequency bands comprise (1) a kappa band and (2) one of a theta band, a beta band, a low gamma band or an alpha band.
18. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining one or more of a size, a type, a location or an amount of blending for the media based on the neuro-response data.
19. A tangible machine readable storage medium, wherein the medium is not a signal, the medium comprising instructions, which when read, cause a machine to at least:
