  • Publication number: 20180167698
    Abstract: Provided is a computer implemented method for preparing a clip of one or more of a video or an audio content, comprising the steps of a) receiving an input from a user indicating a desire by the user to create a clip of the content; b) identifying of the media content and a specific time within the content the user is watching or listening to based on the digital content of the content or a digital signal associated with the content having identification information; c) creating the clip based on the specific time with a start and an end point; and d) delivering the clip (final clip) to the user. The identification can be carried out by an Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) program using one or more of pre-processed video and audio in the library as a reference for identification.

  • Publication number: 20060165433
    Abstract: A bearing is provided at each longitudinal end of the cartridge frame. The bearing has mounting apertures for mounting the developing roller and regulating blade, and for maintaining a predetermined spacing between the developing roller and the regulating blade. The bearing is moveable relative to the cartridge frame to allow relative movement between the developing roller and photosensitive drum. A coil spring is also provided to bias the bearing toward the drum to create the required gap between the developing roller and drum. The gap is maintained by spacers mounted on the longitudinal ends of the developing roller. In addition, an abutting portion is provided on the bearing and is engageable with a stop portion on the cartridge frame to limit movement of the bearing toward the operative position photosensitive member.
