  • Publication number: 20070165022
    Abstract: A method for automated computerized audio visual dubbing of a movie comprises (i) generating a three-dimensional head model of an actor in a movie, the head model being representative of specific facial features of the actor, and (ii) generating a three-dimensional head model of a dubber making target sounds for the actor, the dubber head model being representative of specific facial features of the dubber, as the target sounds are made. The method also comprises modifying at least a portion of the specific facial features of the actor head model according to the dubber head model such that the actor appears to be producing target sounds made by the dubber.

  • Publication number: 20050255989
    Abstract: It is provided a monolithic reactive porous support with efficiency and performance better than a particulate support used in a batch method requiring a liquid-solid separation process or a filling column method requiring a high pressure for liquid supply. In a solution containing a starting material having a reactive site, a precursor of a monolithic porous gel formed of silica, a metal oxide, or an organic-inorganic hybrid composition is reacted. Accordingly, sol-gel transformation and phase separation are induced at the same time to form a gel of the composition having continuous pores with a diameter of 100 nm or greater.

  • Patent number: 6797773
    Abstract: A versatile methodology to obtain efficient catalytic materials suitable for selective, liquid-phase oxidations of alcohols is described. Solid inorganic membranes were prepared by the sol-gel procedure by adding a solution of stable organic nitroxyl radicals at the onset of the polymerization of silicon alkoxide monomers. In this way, micro- and mesoporous materials can be obtained that axe effective and recyclable catalytic mediators for highly selective oxidations of a vast class of primary and secondary alcohols carried out with several primary oxidants. Delicate substrates such as carbohydrates and allylic alcohols can selectively be oxidized with these novel catalytic materials.
