Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for implementing a sing-along session. According to some embodiments, the techniques can be implemented by a computing device, and include the steps of (1) receiving audio feed content from at least one microphone, (2) receiving audio content that includes metadata that describes a plurality of characteristics of the audio content, (3) generating audio output content that is based on the audio feed content and the audio content, (4) receiving video feed content from at least one camera, (5) generating video output content that is based on: the video feed content, and the audio content and/or at least one characteristic of the plurality of characteristics of the audio content, and (6) outputting, to a media playback system: the audio output content, and the video output content.

Abstract: A hybrid heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The hybrid heart valve includes a substantially non-expandable, non-compressible prosthetic valve member having a peripheral sealing ring and an expandable stent frame projecting from an inflow end, thereby enabling attachment to the annulus without sutures. The stent frame may be plastically-expandable and may have a thin fabric layer covering its entirety as well as secondary sealing structures around its periphery to prevent paravalvular leaking. Other sealing solutions include interactive steps at the time of valve implant to establish seals around the stent and especially between the stent and the sealing ring of the valve member.

Abstract: A computer-implement method includes receiving one or more images from one or more sensors, outputting the one or more images at a display, outputting an automatic segmentation line of the one or more portions of the image in response to an object identified in the one or more images, and in response to one or more inputs received at the system associated with a correction, outputting a correction line on the display associated with the object, wherein the correction line automatically adjust one or more vertices associated with an incorrect portion of the automatic segmentation, wherein the one or more vertices are adjusted in response to the one or more inputs.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the examination of the pattern of immunodominant CD8 T cell epitopes in the E6 and E7 protein of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and its further characterization in terms of its amino acid sequence and HLA restriction. These epitopes are identified based on their ability to induce strong CD8 T cell response and therefore, are important as sources of antigens for dendritic cell immunotherapy to treat cervical cancer. The present invention contemplates identifying a number of similar epitopes restricted by a wide variety of HLA types so that they can be used in concert to develop a preventative vaccine, which can be used for general population.
