Abstract: A device and method for using carry forward conflict resolution in a constant order schema for multimedia airplay scheduling. A reusable multimedia content set (e.g., music, news, other audio, advertising, etc.) can be combined with a secondary multimedia content set for playback of multimedia content to create a scheduling order. Conflicts in the scheduling order resulting from the combination can be resolved by exchanging slot positions in the reusable multimedia content set, which can then be reused for combination with subsequent secondary multimedia content sets while maintaining the previous conflict resolved scheduling order, thereby adhering to a substantially constant order for the multimedia content.

Moreover, text lines is extracted in the image based on the computed number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's in the first flag vector. Also, vertical projection is performed on the text lines to obtain a second flag vector for the text lines. Further, a number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's is computed in the second flag vectors. Furthermore, text is localized in the image based on the computed number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's in the second flag vectors.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems structured to provide an indication of the status of a cementing operation in a wellbore. Electromagnetic radiation from a source can be directed to a fluid region in or around a casing in a wellbore, where an electromagnetic response can be detected from interaction of the electromagnetic radiation in the fluid region. Presence or absence of cement in the fluid region can be determined based the electromagnetic response. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.

Abstract: Antibody-based methods of detecting of molecules interacting with a target molecule, such as a nuclear or cytoplasmic protein, in a fixed and, optionally, permeabilized cell or tissue sample. In one example, the target molecule is bound by a primary antibody, and a secondary, peroxidase-conjugated antibody, then binds to the primary antibody. The peroxidase may also be conjugated the primary antibody. Biotin tyramide is added to the sample, and the peroxidase generates short-lived intermediates resulting in biotinylation of molecules adjacent to the peroxidase. Biotinylated molecules can be isolated from the sample by affinity interaction with avidin- or streptavidin, resulting in a fraction containing biotinylated molecules that are located in the sample in proximity to the target molecule. The fraction can be analyzed by mass-spectroscopy, Western blotting, sequencing and other techniques.
