Abstract: A simple display of items from a list, which changes in synchrony with the corresponding video display, and permits simple navigation under user control. The display includes three control objects positioned below a video frame window on a display screen. A middle displayed object is located in a focus position and corresponds to the video segment currently being played in the video window. When play of the segment is complete, the object located to the right of the focus position moves and displaces the middle displayed object, most recently displayed within the focus position, to indicate a forward progression within the viewed video sequence.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and system for creating an annotated analysis of the thematic content of a film or video work. The annotations may refer to single frames, or to sequences of consecutive frames. The sequences of frames for a given theme may overlap with one or more single frame or sequence of frames from one or more other themes in the work.

Abstract: A method for displaying programmatic content comprising a first step of indexing within a table segments of the programmatic content using at least two possibly overlapping thematic categories, then enabling user selection of at least one of the thematic categories for viewing. The segments of programmatic content are arranged into a video sequence responsive to the user-selected thematic category. The video sequence is then displayed in substantial synchronicity with annotative information associated with a currently viewed segment of the video sequence.

Abstract: A method for selecting content for play comprises allowing selection by a user of two or more top-level categories from a list of categories where at least one of a plurality of media content items are associated with two or more top-level categories. A list of only those media content items associated with all of the two or more top-level categories selected by the user are presented for selection and play.

Abstract: A fermentation apparatus for converting agricultural raw materials into a fermented liquor containing about 10 weight percent ethanol comprising a fermentation chamber, a separation chamber, a conduit for transporting mash through the fermentation chamber and the separation chamber, and at least one pump for circulating an aqueous yeast-containing solution in the fermentation chamber into the conduit for contact with the mash to convert the simple sugars in the mash to ethanol. A gas separator is positioned within the separation chamber to remove the carbon dioxide generated by the fermentation of the simple sugars in the mash such that the carbon dioxide does not enter and agitate the aqueous ethanol mixture in the separation chamber.
