Abstract: A system and method for translating sign language utterances into a target language, including: receiving motion capture data; producing phonemes/sign fragments from the received motion capture data; producing a plurality of sign sequences from the phonemes/sign fragments; parsing these sign sequences to produce grammatically parsed sign utterances; translating the grammatically parsed sign utterances into grammatical representations in the target language; and generating output utterances in the target language based upon the grammatical representations.

Abstract: A graphical interface is provided that enables advertisers to iteratively define an audience of video database users that is most likely to purchase the good or service they are advertising and view detailed information associated with the audience.

Abstract: A video hosting service stores and provides video content to a client via a network. Advertisers search for videos to target by entering search criteria into a user interface. Advertisers can search based on characteristics of the audience (viewers) of the videos, such as age range, gender, and interests of the viewers, and/or based on metadata associated with the videos. A set of videos that meet the search criteria is then retrieved. Advertisers can select individual ones of these videos or groups of these videos. The selected videos or groups of videos can be added to a media plan. The items from the media plan can be imported into an advertising campaign management system, wherein the advertiser's ads are associated with the selected videos. Subsequently, viewers who view the selected videos also view the advertiser's ads in connection with the videos.

Abstract: The invention relates to stable brown-coal/oil suspensions and a process for preparing same. The suspension contains 20 to 60% by mass of coal powder and 40 to 80% by mass of fuel oil of 25 to 70% by mass of an agglomerate and 30 to 75% by mass of fuel oil.The invention renders possible to utilize brown-coal powders of low value for heating purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method for the production of liquid carbon compounds from coal. According to the invention coal is oxidized at 80.degree. to 300.degree. C. in the presence of the vapors of a C.sub.1-5 aliphatic alcohol, optionally under the introduction of steam, and then the liquid carbon compounds are separated from the resulting product mixture.The process according to the invention can also be performed under atmospheric pressure, 50-80% of the carbon content of the coal converted appear in the liquid product. The liquid product contains the more valuable fraction, boiling below 300.degree. C., as major component.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method for the liquid phase oxidation of coal performed with oxygen optionally in the presence of water. According to the invention oxidation is performed in the presence of a cooxidation partner selected from the group of liquid hydrocarbons and oxygen-containing liquid hydrocarbons, and if water is also present, the pH of the homogeneous solution formed from the cooxidation partner and water is maintained at a slightly acidic value.By the method of the invention the formation of carbon dioxide can be suppressed significantly.
