Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for providing audio assistance during trick play. Users, for example, visually-impaired users, may enable audio assistance features for trick play operations and customize audio assistance settings. The audio assistance may comprise outputting one or more audio cues during trick play. The audio cues may be associated with one or more types of scenes may indicate the progress of a trick play content item. The audio cues may also indicate automatic skipping of an objectionable scene or commercial and the output of a next scene.

Abstract: A user may have preferences regarding types of content that the user likes, or does not like, to see. The user may enter a trick play command to skip a current segment of a content item that the user is viewing, and the user's preferences may be used to cause output of a subsequent segment of the content item.

Abstract: Some aspects of the disclosure relate to a system and methods for creating a viewing impression that can comprise selecting a video frame from a content item based on interest or value in the video frame. Another version of the content, such as a trick file, can be created by inserting one or more copies of the video frame, for example, adjacent to one another.

Abstract: An occlusion device with particular utility in occlusion of left atrial appendages is described. The occlusion device embodiments utilize an inflatable balloon or expandable element used to occlude the treatment site.

Abstract: System and methods of delivering adhesive material are described for occluding target locations within a patient. The systems include a catheter configured to deliver adhesive to a target location and one or more of a light source to harden the adhesive, a retention structure to contain the adhesive prior to curing, a balloon to occupy a target location, and an open cell foam plug to occupy a target location.

Abstract: An occlusion device with particular utility in occlusion of left atrial appendages is described. The occlusion device utilizes an inflatable balloon comprising a proximal portion to inflate with an inflation fluid delivered by an outer catheter body and conform to a shape of the left atrial appendage and a distal portion to fill with an adhesive delivered by an inner catheter body. The distal portion of the inflatable balloon sticks to the tissue wall of the left atrial appendage. The outer catheter body is configured to position the inner catheter body inside the outer catheter body.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may be used for semantic navigation of content. The method may include determining a first content complexity level for a user, and presenting a first content to a user device operated by the user. The first content may be presented at the first content complexity level of the user. Additionally, the method may include receiving a navigation command from the user on a portion of the first content via the user device; and determining a second content at a second content complexity level based on the navigation command. The second content may convey the same information as the first content. Additionally, the method may include replacing the first content with the second content on the user device. The second content may be presented at the second content complexity level, and the second content complexity level may be different than the first content complexity level.

Abstract: A covering retention assembly including first and second clips. Each clip includes a base plate and a top plate. The base plate extends from a rear end to a forward end with at least one base plate tooth extending from an inner surface thereof proximate the forward end. The top plate extends from a rear end to a forward end with at least one top plate tooth extending from an inner surface thereof proximate the forward end. A hinge assembly interconnects the base plate and top plate such that the forward end of the top plate is biased toward the forward end of the base plate and wherein one of the teeth contacts the inner surface of the other plate and each tooth of the base plate and is laterally and longitudinally spaced from each tooth of the top plate. A strap extends between first and second free ends, with the first free end connected with the first clip and the second free end connected with the second clip.
