Abstract: A method of producing a synthetic carbonated mineral component in a cement manufacturing plant, includes providing a carbonatable substance from an external source, introducing the carbonatable substance into an exhaust gas installation of the cement manufacturing plant for contacting the carbonatable substance with CO2 enriched exhaust gas, carbonating the carbonatable substance by reacting the carbonatable substance with CO2 contained in the CO2 enriched exhaust gas, thereby obtaining the synthetic carbonated mineral component, and removing the synthetic carbonated mineral component from the exhaust gas installation.

Abstract: A display device (100) obtains (S210) an image, obtains (S220) a current measure of inclination of a screen (110) of the display device (100), rotates (S230) the image to compensate for the inclination to render the image parallel with the horizon, scales (S240) and displays (S250) the image entire and horizontally on the screen. The image can be part of a video for which other images are processed to be displayed horizontally. The image can be scaled to maximise the size of the image when displayed on the screen (110); this can be performed after a period of unchanged inclination.

Abstract: A user may want to share segments of content, such as video sequences of news reporting or sports events received from a service provider, SR, or content provider, CP, with the members of his social network using the user's social networking application. Therefore, a method is provided for sharing content that may include receiving a content segment by a Transmitter/Receiver Device, TRD. The TRD may transmit, to the SP/CP, a request for sharing the currently received content segment. The SP/CP may receive the request from the TRD and may prepare the content segment for sharing, for example by uploading it to a replay platform. The TRD may receive, from the SP/CP an indication that the content segment has been stored on the replay platform, including a locator to the content segment. The TRD may publish the locator in the user's social network application.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling the volume of a content. In one embodiment, sound associated with a content is received as well as a request for a volume change associated with the content. An equalization ratio is then obtained based on an amplification and a compression parameter. It is then analyzed whether a volume change will cause a coordinate change in the amplifier or compression levels associated with the content. If a volume change will cause a coordinate change in the amplifier or compression levels associated with the content, the volume change is limited.

Abstract: An electronic program guide, EPG, comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a list of channels and, for each channel in the list, a list of scheduled audiovisual content. The second portion comprises a selection area or section and a first graphical element representing a time line. The selection section may be used to select scheduled audiovisual content according to a selection criterion. Second graphical elements that represent scheduled audio visual content resulting from the selection are then placed on the first graphical element. The relative position of the second graphical elements on the first graphical element is determined by chronological order.

Abstract: A user interface device including memory configured to store instructions and at least one hardware processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain, from at least one sensor, sensor data corresponding to a user gesture, determine a user interface gesture that matches the sensor data, obtain parameters for the determined interface gesture, and upon obtaining the parameters for the determined interface gesture, use the sensor data and the parameters for the determined interface gesture to estimate the user gesture in a user interface. Also provided is a method.

Abstract: A system for user interaction comprising a display including a screen for displaying images, at least one hardware processor for receiving input from at least one sensor detecting at least a position of a user's fingertip in front of the display, the fingertip belonging to a finger extended in a direction of the screen, wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to determine, from the input from the at least one sensor, an aim of the finger, display on the screen, on condition that the fingertip is in a first zone, at a position corresponding to the aim, an indicator, and select an object displayed in an image on the screen, the object located at the position on the screen corresponding to the aim, on condition that the fingertip is in a second zone, the second zone being closer to the screen than the first zone.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method comprising: receiving, from a first network, a input signal conveying a plurality of audio and/or video channels; sending, on a second network, a first signal comprising a first digital stream conveying a first audio and/or video channel comprised in the input signal, the first signal comprising, for a second channel of said plurality of audio and/or video channels other than the first channel, and a second digital stream comprising an identifying information of the other second channel and requiring less bandwidth than a digital stream conveying the other second audio and/or video channel of the input signal.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to avoid or at least limit the aforementioned drawback by a specific processing of video images to display, notably on large size screens. For this purpose, a method for processing at least one image of a video sequence is described. The method includes defining at least two peripheral areas PL, PR in the at least one image, and reducing contrast of pixels in the defined peripheral area(s) having a local contrast RL and/or RD above a local contrast threshold Rth or reducing contrast of pixels in subregions 1, 2, . . . , i, . . . , N of these defined peripheral areas having a local contrast Ri, R?i above a local contrast threshold Ri-th.
