Abstract: Techniques and computing devices are described that automatically caption content directly from audio data being output from content sources, unlike other captioning systems which often rely on information contained in audio signals being sent to speakers. The disclosed techniques and computing devices may analyze metadata to determine whether the audio data is suitable for captioning or whether the audio data is some other type of audio data. Responsive to identifying audio data for captioning, the disclosed techniques and computing devices can generate a description of audible sounds interpreted from the audio data, providing for the automatic captioning of content and making audible content accessible to many users who have difficulty hearing or are otherise unable to listen to content.

Abstract: The tricopter type rotary-wing drone includes three arms connected to a frame. Each of the free ends of the arms support a rotor with an axis perpendicular to the respective free end. The rotor is driven in rotation by a motor connected to power supply. The arms are pivotally mounted on the frame. Two arms automatically drive the rotor supported by their respective free ends into a position in which its axis forms an angle between ?30° and +150° with the plane of the frame. The third arm automatically pivots, if necessary, into a position in which its free end is spaced apart from the apex being considered of the triangle by an angle between ?60° and +60°.
