  • Publication number: 20120315009
    Abstract: A method of retrieving multimedia content using a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method includes entering search terms on a mobile computing device, and searching for the search terms in a first transcript library stored in a memory of a mobile computing device to return a match. If no match is returned, the method includes searching for the search terms in a second transcript library stored in a location remote from the memory of the mobile computing device. The method further includes returning at least one search match and activating a search match to display transcript text, in a display of transcript text, corresponding to the search match, wherein the display of transcript text has unique corresponding multimedia. The method also includes performing a gesture on the display of transcript text to initiate play of the unique corresponding multimedia or a portion thereof.

  • Publication number: 20030073663
    Abstract: Bioabsorbable medical devices are prepared by oxidizing derivatives of cellulose, including methyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate. The resulting material is formed into films, sponges and, in the case of oxidized methyl cellulose, gels, due to its unique property of being water soluble. The resulting devices are particularly useful in limiting surgical adhesions, and for hemostasis. Other uses include wound dressings and as a replacement for more expensive bioabsorbable gels such as hyaluronic acid.

  • Patent number: 5211144
    Abstract: A portable, hand-held blower unit is powered by a small internal combustion engine having movable choke and throttle control elements linked to a single adjustment knob. Rotation of the knob between full throttle and full choke positions thereof simultaneously adjusts the engine's throttle and choke settings and maintains predetermined engine start and run positional relationships therebetween. The engine carburetor has mounted thereon a specially designed air intake box which substantially reduces engine air intake noise. In the normal operating position of the unit the engine drive shaft is generally vertically oriented, with the carburetor being secured to the top of the engine and the underside of the air intake box. The lower end of the drive shaft is coaxially secured to the unit's blower fan impeller which is spaced upwardly apart from a pull rope starter pulley rotatably carried by the fan impeller housing.
