Abstract: System and method for creating clips of larger audio streams based on very accurate in point and out point and for searching for the clips. The system and method use byte signatures in MP3 or media files to accurately and efficiently find a specific cue point, such as for example, the beginning of a sentence in a podcast. The system and method are configured to search and locate a given clip even if that sequence moves inside the stream, such as for example, if the audio file adds additional content like advertisements or other audio sequence, the hash representation of the cue point can still be found with millisecond accuracy.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel absorbent structure and absorbent products containing this absorbent structure. More particularly, the absorbent structure of this invention is a flexible and retentive reservoir layer comprising a perf-embossed or tenderized peat board material.

Abstract: A composition is described which consists of a microemulsion of oil in a water/glycol solution containing certain thickening agents, emulsifiers, substantially water-insoluble, partially polar oils, and alkanolamines to provide the desirable viscosity and shear stability needed to give a composition having effective de-icer and anti-icing properties.
