Abstract: Synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio includes obtaining a representation of the content's audio and ancillary data pegged to instants in the representation of the content's audio, and aligning the representation of the content's audio to the content's audio to synchronize the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content's audio to the content.

Abstract: A method for a media environment driven content distribution platform includes obtaining synchronization data derived from the content and ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data derived from the content, and communicating the synchronization data derived from the content and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data derived from the content to the content synchronizes the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content to the content.

Abstract: Coordinates as ancillary data in a media environment driven content distribution platform may include obtaining synchronization data and ancillary data that identifies a set of coordinates representing a location within a visual portion of the audiovisual content, the ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data, and communicating the synchronization data and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data to the audiovisual content synchronizes the set of coordinates representing the location within the visual portion of the audiovisual content.

Abstract: Curating ancillary data to be presented to audience members of a visual program content may include a) creating a timeline rule that correlates ancillary data objects to respective visual program content features, the visual program content features correlated to respective instances on a timeline of the visual program content, b) creating an environmental rule to correlate the ancillary data objects to respective environmental features of an audience member; and c) indicating that the ancillary data objects are to be presented to the audience member when both the timeline rule and the environmental rule are met such that the ancillary data objects may be presented to the audience member when both a) the respective ones of the visual program content features appear in the visual program content during playback by the audience member and b) the respective environmental features are present.

Abstract: The invention provides a method comprising selecting a challenger, an opponent, an event, a first and second outcome of an event, a charity, and an amount to form a wager, wherein the first outcome is associated with the challenger and the second outcome is associated with the opponent, wherein the first and second outcomes are not identical; communicating the wager to the opponent; receiving a response to the wager by the opponent; determining whether the first or second outcome occurs; notifying challenger and opponent of the outcome; receiving a first payment by the challenger if the second outcome occurs or by opponent if the first outcome occurs; and sending a second payment to the charity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of generating computer executable code using components, each of which corresponds to a respective data manipulation service, typically implemented by a respective entity. The method includes defining a combination of components corresponding to a sequence of data manipulations. The data manipulations are then performed, which can be achieved by requesting the provision of each service from the respective entities in accordance with the defined component combination, thereby causing computer executable code to be generated.

Abstract: A pumping system assembly is configured to adjust a flow rate of a liquid in a hydro dermabrasion system. The pumping system assembly includes a peristaltic pump. A tube is joined to a first opening on the peristaltic pump with a first line connector and joined to a second opening on the peristaltic pump with the second line connector. A hydro dermabrasion handpiece is configured to administer the liquid and connected to the first line connector with a first line. A liquid reservoir is configured to store the liquid for the hydro dermabrasion system and connected to the second line connector with a second line. Optionally a microcontroller is connected to the peristaltic pump and programmed with instructions to engage the rotor in a clockwise manner drawing liquid from the liquid reservoir and transferring the liquid to the hydro dermabrasion handpiece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vaporization injector for a gas chromatograph, said injector comprising a structure (11) mounted in a detachable manner on the gas chromatograph body and including the sample introduction means, the vaporization chamber and pneumatic connections for feeding the carrier gas to the vaporization chamber and to the septum purge means, as well as pneumatic connections for evacuating the splitted sample and carrier gases.

Abstract: A method of generating executable code for performing desired functionality. The method includes defining a component combination based on the desired functionality, the component combination being indicative of components to be implemented and connections between the components. The component combination is then used to cause components in the component combination to be implemented, with the components communicating using the connections and generating code fragments. At least two of the components communicate to determine a context, with one or more of the code fragments being at least partially based on the determined context. The generated code fragments are combined to thereby form the executable code which when executed by a suitable a processing system, causes the processing system to perform the desired functionality.
