Abstract: An improved system and method for enabling the insertion, overlay, removal or replacement of sequential or concurrent targeted program segments and/or visual icons in a video bitstream without modifying the fidelity of the underlying visual media. The present invention provides for a wide variety of supplemental enhancement information fields which permit the use of data updates that are synchronous with delivered video content. The present invention offers a generic approach to program insertion and iconic overlay that covers a wide range of use-cases and applications, without necessarily transmitting the visual content to be inserted as part of the underlying visual media stream.

Abstract: A method of conducting a search using a mobile electronic device may include playing digital audio content at the mobile electronic device, and accepting user input at the mobile electronic device to capture a portion of the digital audio content. Search criteria may be provided wherein the search criteria is based on the captured portion of the digital audio content and on information separate from the captured portion of the digital audio content. A search may be conducted using the search criteria based on the captured portion of the digital audio content and on the information separate from the captured portion of the digital audio content. A result of the search may be provided at the mobile electronic device, and the result of the search may be displayed at the mobile electronic device.

Abstract: Plastic-lined fittings and their method of manufacture. The fittings are capable of being joined without flanges to plastic-lined piping systems. The fittings feature a zero tolerance fit between the liner and the metal portion of the fitting, and an outward expansion of the portion of the liner which extends past the metal portion.
