Abstract: Camera equipment used for capturing a live event is expensive and may require professionals to operate the equipment. Such camera equipment is not accessible for capturing events and experiences by everyday users. Suppose media content is captured by lower-cost input devices such as mobile phones with a video camera. A production platform can use computer vision techniques to produce enhanced media content from media content captured by the lower-cost input devices. In one example, the production platform can aggregate and analyze the received media content to extract information and determine blind spots. The production platform can create or retrieve content based on the extracted information and insert the content in the blind spots. The production platform can deliver enhanced media content to an end user device, the enhanced media content may have the received media content and the inserted content.

Abstract: In one aspect, disclosed is an example method for use in connection with a media-presentation device presenting a media program via a display screen of the media-presentation device, the method including: (i) during presentation of a temporal portion of the media program, identifying an audience engagement region of presented content, wherein the identified audience engagement region is less than an entirety of a display area that corresponds to the display screen; (ii) using at least the identified audience engagement region as a basis to select a media segment from among multiple candidate media segments; (iii) identifying an upcoming media segment insertion point within the media program; and (iv) facilitating the media-presentation device inserting, at the identified media segment insertion point within the media program, the selected media segment.

Abstract: An adsorbent composition for reducing impurities of heat transfer fluids is provided and a process for the preparation of the same. The adsorbent composition comprises a layered double hydroxide in an amount in the range of 15 to 70 wt % of the total mass of the composition; alumina in an amount in the range of 30 to 85 wt % of the total mass of the composition; and optionally activated bauxite in an amount in the range of 15 to 50 wt % of the total mass of the composition. The adsorbent composition is economical and eco-friendly, having feed processing capacity in the range of 58 to 600 gm/gm.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an effective and efficient process for the preparation of a dry chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), comprising introducing chlorine gas into slurry of polyvinyl chloride in water to obtain a reaction mixture; irradiating the reaction mixture to obtain a product mixture comprising CPVC and water solution including unreacted chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride; filtering the product mixture to obtain a first mass; adding water to the first mass for extracting unreacted chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride to obtain an aqueous suspension, and filtering the aqueous suspension to obtain a second mass; passing nitrogen through the second mass to extract residual water solution to leave behind a third mass; and agitating the third mass in a high-speed mixer together with a neutralizing agent, and optionally with a stabilizer and a processing additive to obtain dry thermally stable CPVC with thermal stability in the range of 1000 seconds to 1500 seconds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process to reduce total acid number (TAN) of a heat transfer fluid. The process comprises contacting the heat transfer fluid with an adsorbent composition at a temperature in the range of 50° C. to 350° C. and a pressure in the range of 1 bar to 10 bar to obtain a treated heat transfer fluid having total acid number (TAN) in the range of 0.003 to 0.03 and pH in the range of 6 to 7.5, wherein the adsorbent composition is provided in a fixed bed and the heat transfer fluid is passed through the fixed bed comprising the adsorbent composition at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) in the range of 0.5 per hour to 10 per hour.
