Abstract: A system and method for providing described video for media content generates a plurality of individual audio files, possibly using text-to-speech, for each line of a described video script. The described video script provides an indication of the timing, such as for example the start time and length, of the individual described video lines. The described video script can then be used to combine the individual audio files into a single audio file for inclusion with the media content.

Abstract: The bezel assembly for data reception, for use with a bill validator in a financial transactional device, includes a bezel housing and a data reception assembly. The bezel housing includes a customer-facing front portion and a back plate connectable to the bill validator that is mounted within the transactional device cabinet. The front portion includes an insertion/dispensing slot for receiving currency and a projecting protrusion forward of the casing. The forward-extending protrusion accommodates at least a portion of the data reception assembly. The bezel assembly can include a wireless communication function that is communicably connectable with a mobile device via a wireless communication method, a manual entry function, a biometric reader, one or more cameras for scanning and decrypting 2D barcodes and the like, thus enhancing the overall functionality of the financial transactional device.

Abstract: A drum damper for reducing drum overtones comprises a soft cushion (11) attached to a dense foam body (10). Anchors (16) attached to the inside of a drum by existing screws (23) allow a fastening strap (15) to hold the foam body, which has a sloped rear portion (12), securely inside the drum. The body urges the cushion in compression against the drum heat (22). The strap can be adjusted to control the amount of force it exerts against the sloped rear portion so as to control the force the body exerts against the cushion, and hence the cushion against the drum head. The tighter the cushion is compressed against the drum head, the greater the overtone reduction.
