Abstract: A timed data component is implemented within an operating system to provide parsing and data conversion of multiple timed data formats. The timed data component supports multiple formats of closed caption data and timed metadata, generating structured cue objects that include the data and timing information. Applications using proprietary or non-supported formats can pre-format the timed data as structured cue objects before sending the timed data to the timed data component. Structured cue objects output from the timed data component may be processed by a single text renderer to provide a consistent look and feel to closed caption data originating in any of multiple formats.

Abstract: A media engine may determine if a received media file is according to a format that includes metadata indicating gap information such as in the header of the file container. If metadata indicating gap information is detected that information may be provided to the media engine by a media file parser and used by the media engine to create a media stream with gap(s) removed based on the metadata. If the received media file does not include metadata indicating gap information, heuristics may be employed to estimate and remove gap(s) in the resulting media stream. The media stream may then be saved or played.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed toward methods, systems, and computer-readable media for prioritizing bridge repairs using a risk-based analysis. An overall risk factor is generated for each of a plurality of bridges. The overall risk factor represents the probability of failure times the consequence on failure for the bridge. Repairs to bridges that pose a greater risk may be prioritized before repairs made to bridges posing a lower risk.
