Abstract: The present invention relates to a Media Asset management System for managing at least one media asset maintained by a media asset repository. This system comprises a media asset repository for maintaining at least one media asset and further a user terminal that is adapted to access the media asset repository where the repository is coupled to the user terminal over a communications link. The media asset management system further comprises a media asset feedback detection Part that is adapted to detect feedback of a user at said user terminal on the media asset at managing the media asset by the user terminal and a feedback interpreting part that is adapted to determine an annotation to the media asset managed based on an interpretation/analysis of the feedback on the media asset.

Abstract: An exemplary technique is provided for inputting symbols, including letters or numbers, using fingers. A first key is coupled with a plurality of symbols including a first primary symbol coupled to the first key. A recognizer is adapted to determine a type of a finger that presses a key area coupled to the first key. A selector is adapted to select a symbol from the plurality of symbols coupled to the first key based on the determined finger type. The first key is part of a keyboard and adjacent to a number of other keys of the keyboard, each other key being coupled with a primary symbol. The plurality of symbols coupled with the first key further comprises at least one of the primary symbols coupled with at least one of the other keys, such that at least one of the plurality of symbols coupled to the first key is a primary symbol coupled to at least one other key of the keyboard.

Abstract: A method for transforming a 2D webpage comprising html elements, into a 3D scene wherein the most interesting html elements for the user appear in the most visible places. To this end, an importance value is associated to each html element and the html element is located into the 3D scene based on location identification derived from the importance value associated to the html element. The importance value of an html element may be defined based on the amount of clicks made on the html element in the 3D scene. One or more avatars may be included into the 3D scene. The location identification may then be based on positions, movements and other actions, or on statistics thereof, of the avatars with respect to the html element in the 3D scene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Method for browsing a 3 Dimensional Virtual Environment by a client device of a user. This 3-Dimensional Virtual Environment being deployed on an application server where the 3-Dimensional Virtual Environment comprises a 3-Dimensional object with a texture displayed on the 3-Dimensional object. The user is represented in the 3-Dimensional Virtual Environment by an avatar. The method further comprises the step of determining a distance between the object and the avatar by the application server, further determining a reference of a texture for applying on the object based on the distance and a reference of the object subsequently determining the texture for applying onto the object based on the reference of the texture.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a device (1) for use in a remotely initiated parking service. The device is arranged for receiving a request for parking a vehicle (4) from a device (3) for initiating a parking session and arranged for triggering a means (2) for determining the location of said device for initiating said parking session.

Abstract: Cellulosic fiber composites and finished cellulosic fiber composite articles are provided. The cellulosic fiber composites comprise cellulosic material and a resin binder. The resin binder comprises vegetable protein hydrolysates and a synthetic resin. The synthetic resin can be phenolic resin, isocyanate resin, or combinations thereof. The composite contains an effective amount of resin binder so as to bind together the cellulosic material. The amount of resin binder is less than 40% of the dry weight of the cellulosic material. The protein hydrolysates provide a composite with a reduced amount of petrochemicals. The composite can also contain a silicone, silane, or combination thereof.

Abstract: Interactive video communication system (1) comprising client systems (2) with transmitters (10) for transmitting client signals to further client systems (3) and first receivers (11) for receiving video signals from sources (4) and second receivers (12) for receiving further client signals from the further client systems (3) and screens (13) for displaying video information derived from the video signals and further client information derived from the further client signals and storing means (14, 15, 54) for storing signals and detecting means (16, 17, 56) for detecting commando's from clients are improved by, in response to a first commando, marking a part of the signal and storing further parts of this signal, and, in response to a second commando, supplying the further parts of the signal to the screen and storing yet further parts of the signal.

Abstract: A multimedia telecommunication system with a telecommunication service provider (TSP) to broadcast a multimedia composition signal (CS) from a multimedia content provider (MCP) to a user station (US). The multimedia signal comprises several multimedia signal components such as for instance audio signals (AU), video signals (VD), subtitles data (ST) and/or logo data (LG). The multimedia content provider (MCP) comprises a first signal composer (CP) for combining the multimedia signal components into the multimedia composition signal. The user station is provided with a multimedia recorder (VCR) and a user interface set (TV), generally a television set associated to a Set-Top-Box.

Abstract: A method of preparing a cellulosic fiber composite is provided comprising mixing protein hydrolysates and a synthetic resin to produce a resin binder. The synthetic resin can be phenolic resin, isocyanate resin, or combinations thereof. The method further comprises mixing the resin binder with a cellulosic material to form a cellulosic material/resin binder blend, felting the blend to form a low-moisture content mat, and pressing the mat at an elevated temperature and pressure, producing the cellulosic fiber composite. The amount of the resin binder can be between about 2% and about 15% of the dry weight of the cellulosic material. The protein hydrolysates provide a composite with a reduced amount of petrochemicals. The composite can also contain a silicone, silane, or combination thereof. The low moisture-content mat does not require drying prior to pressing. Additional methods can be employed to produce finished cellulosic fiber composite articles.
