  • Publication number: 20180302687
    Abstract: In an approach to personalizing closed captioning, one or more computer processors determine a behavior of a plurality of users based on one or more data sources, where the one or more data sources correspond to one or more users of the plurality of users. The one or more computer processors determine one or more closed captioning preferences of the plurality of users based, at least in part, on the determined behavior. The one or more computer processors receive a request from the plurality of users for closed captioning of a video content on a device. The one or more computer processors provide personalized closed captioning on the device for the plurality of users based on the one or more closed captioning preferences.

  • Publication number: 20140295518
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for generation of hydrogen and syngas based on biomimetic carbonation and photocatalysis. A path breaking way has been developed for generation of solar fuels in specific hydrogen by coupling biomimetic carbonation with photocatalysis. Efforts are being made worldwide to mimic the reaction for fixation of anthropogenic CO2 into calcium carbonate using carbonic anhydrase (CA) as a biocatalyst. CA is being employed to accelerate the rate of hydration of CO2 to form carbonate ions and proton. Presently carbonate is being precipitated from aqueous solution as calcium carbonate given a suitable saturation of calcium and carbonate ions by addition of appropriate buffer. A major breakthrough in the area of generation of solar fuels like hydrogen has been achieved by coupling biomimetic carbonation with photocatalysis. This approach may prove to be a revolutionary technical advancement required for hydrogen economy demanding carbon neutral hydrogen production.

  • Patent number: 5693526
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae having accession number MTCC Y0022B211 (=NCYC 2647), which is useful for the preparation of ethanol by the fermentation of sugars. The invention also encompasses a process for the preparation of this strain of yeast, which process comprises: (a) growing a diploid strain of S. cerevisiae designated MTCC Y0001 (=NCYC 2646) in a known medium, sporulating the strain, treating the sporulated cells with a lytic enzyme to liberate the spores, collecting the liberated spores; (b) growing a haploid strain of S. cerevisiae designated MTCC Y0002 (=ATTC 90506); (c) mixing the spores obtained in step (a) with the cells obtained in step (b), incubating the resultant spore-cell mixture at a temperature in the range of 15.degree. C. to 37.degree. C. for a period of 1 to 10 days; (d) spreading the incubated spore-cell mixture on a non-medium, and incubating the mixture at a temperature in the range of 15.degree. to 37.degree. C.
