  • Patent number: 10333876
    Abstract: A method of communicating between a sender and a recipient via a personalized message, including steps of: (a) identifying text, via the user interface of a communication device, of a desired lyric phrase from within a pre-existing audio recording; (b) selecting visual data, such as an image or video, to be paired with the desired lyric phrase; (c) extracting audio substantially associated with the desired lyric phrase from the pre-existing recording into a desired audio clip; (d) inputting personalized text via the user interface; (e) creating the personalized message with the sender identification, the personalized text and access to the desired audio clip; and (e) sending an electronic message to the electronic address of the recipient. Clips may be generated automatically based on a relevance score. The electronic message may be a text message, instant message, or email message; this message may alternatively have a link to the personalized message.

  • Patent number: 5670662
    Abstract: A process for the separation of at least one isomer from a mixture of isomers of a tetrahydropyran-2-one, having at least two chiral centres which comprises selective reaction of at least one isomer with a reagent catalysed by a hydrolase enzyme whereby at least one isomer is preferentially converted into a distinct chemical species from the other isomers so that it is susceptible of separation by an appropriate chemical or physical separation process in which the tetrahydropyran-2-one is of Formula (1): ##STR1## wherein: Z is --H or a protecting group susceptible of reaction with the reagent under the influence of the enzyme; andY is formyl or protected formyl.
