Patent number: 11647257Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for playing a video recording that includes captions, wherein each caption includes a textual transcription of an audio portion of the video, a description of non-speech elements of the video, or both, is provided. The present invention may include rendering a video, identifying a first portion of the video that includes a first caption, and, in response to identifying the first portion of the video, estimating a second time period for a particular user to read and understand text in the first caption. The present invention may further include determining whether the second time period for the particular user to read and understand text in the first caption is greater than the first time period for rendering the first portion of the video. The present invention may lastly include pausing the video for a third time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Troy Cochran, Nixon Cheaz, James Talton

Publication number: 20080014279Abstract: This invention relates to an improved method of preparing an implantable gel or paste for placement between injured bones or placement in bony voids to induce regeneration, and the compositions produced thereby. Specifically, mineral, ceramic, or processed bone particles are coated with a high molecular weight polymer capable of forming a viscous gel when reconstituted with water, saline, autologous blood, sera, or other medically acceptable solution. This high molecular weight polymer coating material may be a natural or synthetic polymeric material, producing a wettable gel upon exposure to water, saline, or another solution. In storage, the composition will be granular and dry but easily wetted. In use, the material is reconstituted to a viscous malleable paste by the simple addition of water or other medically acceptable solution without the need for aggressive mixing. The paste may be delivered by syringe or manually deposited yet will be resistant to lavage or to displacement by gravity induced flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: Nanotherapeutics, Inc.Inventors: James Talton, James Kirk

Publication number: 20050175707Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for forming particles including drugs in a solution, changing the bulk or surface properties of a drug particle, and/or microencapsulation drug particles, and compositions produced thereby. In some embodiments, the process described utilized mechanical agitation, more specifically low-frequency sonication, under controlled conditions, which provides mild shear forces during forming and/or precipitation to control the particle growth and mixing properties. Particle size can range from less than about 200 nanometers to greater than about one millimeter, depending on the processing conditions and application. The process described can be used to form a drug particle suspension, dry a wet powder slurry or suspension, as well as to improve the surface properties of the particle through conditioning the structure of the particle or particle surface and/or annealing the particle or particle surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2003Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: James Talton, Christopher McConville
