20100191689 | VIDEO CONTENT ANALYSIS FOR AUTOMATIC DEMOGRAPHICS RECOGNITION OF USERS AND VIDEOS - A video demographics analysis system selects a training set of videos to use to correlate viewer demographics and video content data. The video demographics analysis system extracts demographic data from viewer profiles related to videos in the training set and creates a set of demographic distributions, and also extracts video data from videos in the training set. The video demographics analysis system correlates the viewer demographics with the video data of videos viewed by that viewer. Using the prediction model produced by the machine learning process, a new video about which there is no a priori knowledge can be associated with a predicted demographic distribution specifying probabilities of the video appealing to different types of people within a given demographic category, such as people of different ages within an age demographic category. | 07-29-2010 |

20140195389 | INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A statistical inventory management system may optimize inventory investment using historical usage and/or consumption of an inventory component by determining one or more target inventory levels (e.g., replenishment levels). Historical usage data may be summed for a plurality of at least partially non-overlapping time periods that may be each equal in duration to a supplier lead-time period for the component to create lead-time usage data. The lead-time usage data may be utilized to more accurately determine future inventory levels (e.g., target inventory levels) because the lead-time usage data may have a reduced variance compared to, for example, day-to-day usage. The inventory management system may be employable by a computing system having a display module (e.g., GUI) that allows a user to receive at least one graphical representation indicative of at least one target inventory level of at least one inventory component (e.g., by selectively interacting with the display module). | 07-10-2014 |

20090173146 | Temperature programmed low thermal mass fast liquid chromatography analysis system - A temperature programmed low thermal mass fast liquid chromatography system capable of high throughput and low power consumption includes a straight or curved short reloadable low-mass tubular heater with a capillary column extending inside. If the capillary column is long enough, it is coiled to form a coiled capillary LC column (the length of which does not exceed 0.2 m-1.0 m) packed in a singular module package with a heating wire and a temperature sensing wire extending along and in proximity to the LC capillary column. A tubular heater, e.g. a steel tubing, incorporates the LC capillary column, along with the heating wire and the temperatures sensor and is coiled to form a miniature power saving LC module which may be attached outside a chromatography oven. Capillary lengths extend inside the oven between the inlet and outlet of the LC column module and mobile phase source and detector, respectively. An electronic temperature control block is positioned outside the oven cavity and controls the heating of the capillary LC column, as well as other heated zones in the system. | 07-09-2009 |

20160133154 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH FILM - A computer-assisted system and method for foreign language instruction. A motion picture having audio dialog in a target language is stored, in a computer-readable form, with chapter divisions, scene subdivisions and dialog sequence sub-subdivisions. In an Engage Mode, the motion picture is played on a display screen sequence-by-sequence, scene-by-scene, and chapter-by-chapter for a student listening to the audio dialog on a speaker. Interlinear target and source language subtitles are provided with interactive capabilities accessed through cursor movement or other means. The interlinear subtitles may be semantically color-mapped. After selecting a scene to view, the student is progressed through a series of modules that break-down and dissect each dialog sequence of the scene. The student studies each dialog sequence before moving to the next scene. Likewise, all scenes in a chapter are studied before moving to the next chapter and ultimately completing the motion picture. | 05-12-2016 |
