Abstract: The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. A quantity of extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature is determined based at least in part on viewing history of a user. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display.

Abstract: A system and process for mixing and distributing building materials. This system and process can also include a way or a means or calibrating the mixing of these materials. This system and process can also include a system for tracking the materials that flow through the system, and for controlling the type of material used in the system.

Abstract: A user viewing a presentation of media content can obtain related supplemental content through the same or a different interface, on the same or a different device. A listener or other such component can attempt to detect information about the media, such as tags present in the media, the occurrence of songs or people in the media, and other such information. The detected information can be analyzed to attempt to identify one or more aspects of the media. The identified aspects can be used to attempt to locate supplemental content that is related to the media content and potentially of interest to the user. The interest of the user can be based upon historical user data, preferences, or other such information. The user can be notified of supplemental content on a primary display, and can access the supplemental content on a secondary display, on the same or a separate device.

Abstract: The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. It is determined whether to present extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature based at least in part on appearance control metadata. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display in response to determining to present the extrinsic data.

Abstract: The invention relates to collections of target-specific designed binding proteins based on armadillo repeat proteins, and to a method of generating them. Designed armadillo repeat proteins are based on consensus sequences of single armadillo repeat units. These repeat proteins can be used as scaffolds for peptide recognition. Such a scaffold provides a binding mode that is in principle the same for every small recognizable unit, e.g. an amino acid or dipeptide, allowing a precise and modular recognition of a peptide in extended conformation. The method allows to generate a series of modules recognizing these simple units, and to combine such building blocks to create a binding site for any desired peptide target without performing additional selections.

Abstract: Communications from digital content consumers may be entered on reader devices as social media posts. Rather than specifying a particular recipient, a consumer may enter a reserved keyword, such as @author, as the recipient. Upon submission, this keyword is automatically replaced with the recipient identifier, such as with the user identifier of the actual author of the currently rendered content item.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems of providing an augmented experience on a user device to facilitate user interaction with one or more virtual items. An augmented image comprising an actual object and a virtual item is generated and presented in a user interface. The user interface allows the user to lock a relative position of the virtual item as presented, such that the user may appear to “move” the virtual item. The user interface may also provide sizing information of the virtual item relative item to the actual object.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for the preparation of a modified lignocellulosic material by treating the lignocellulosic material in a first activator zone having an atmosphere of one or more acid anhydrides in vapour form in a gas at a gauge pressure of 0-50 kPag and a temperature of 100-160° C., and then treating the lignocellulosic material in a second reactor zone having an atmosphere of a gas at a gauge pressure of 0-50 kPag and a temperature of 120-190° C., thereafter stripping the lignocellulosic material with steam or water in a stripper zone, and optionally further processing. The process is more efficient as compared with the prior art processes by providing a better access of the acid anhydrides to the sites of the reactive lignocellulosic hydroxyl groups (—OH), which are located on the internal surfaces of pores and capillary channels in the lignocellulose. Furthermore, the apparatus is relatively simple.
